Considering the 980 is better than a 780ti, and seeing that I wouldn't recommend a 780ti for 1080, it is kinda ovsrki, 970 might be suited more but if you plan on going 1440p or 4k soon a 980 will be good, but if you're staying 1080p for a while, a 970 will be cheaper and more suited

The 970 is a much better value right now. It has 780 performance for barely over $300. The 980 at $220 more for about 20% more performance is overpriced.
If its 1080p @60Hz there will be lots of performance not be used at all. The 970 will easily max it out in newer games and also have excess performance at this. Unless OP decides to go 1440p, 144hz, or multiple display a 980 is the epitome of overkill.
