IMO, save your money and get the MSI Gaming / Gigabyte G1 970. 16-17% performance increase for $200-250 more isn't worth it when 980 is already 8 months old. If you really want the 980, wait 4-5 more weeks to see if R9 390 cards force NV to drop prices, or alternatively buy the faster 390/390X card.
Again some people dont see the fact and just post for the sake.
yes it better to wait for Price drop but consider AMD as a option no than i wont be so naive to that because you have to see AAA games benchmark which use Gameworks which have totally worst performance on AMD.
I want to play games and i want to have best experience as possible because i am spending my money not donating or charity.
Nvidia is the best choice at the moment because u dont miss the best performance on games like
The witcher 3 and Batman Arkham knight because they both use Gameworks.
I am not suggesting to OP.I am saying to the members that they should carefully suggest or advice when they post.What happens if OP buys AMD GPU but he cannot play most of gameworks game with a good experience.He will have a bad experience with gameworks games and of course he will blame the member who suggested.I always figured his English is not great. Seemed obvious to me.
Also the "OP may" stuff, nowhere in the OP is there a hint of anything you are saying. He couldn't have been anymore clear and specific. But it looks like the OP just doesn't matter at all.

Yes that is what i am saying.Suggest him with pros and cons explained so that he can know that what he is buying and what are the consequences of the purchase so that later he cannot blame anyone if he is not satisfied with that purchase.You go ahead and perpetuate the Gameworks marketing position. The rest of us will suggest what we feel is best.
You do realize the predominant advice was to "wait for AMD to launch so you can buy the nVidia cheaper," NOT "wait for AMD to launch and just buy AMD"? RS mentioned possibly buying the 390/X as an alternative but that was the extent there.
