I would personally say go for the 990FXA. If you ever plan to SLI/Crossfire down the road for other games, the 990FXA is capable of PCIE 2.0 16x/16x, whereas the 970 is only capable of 8x/4x when both slots are taken. (incompatible with SLI/Crossfire)

It's a bit more future-upgradeable than the 970, if you plan on doing any changes later on.
