mMore cuda cores=better card?

Look at all the benchmarks. The 970 is a powerful card and in most cases just a few frames shy of a 780ti.
There are some exceptions.

I would suggest overclocking to get desired results. Shouldn't take much.

CUDA cores are the general computation use of the resources an NVIDIA graphics card has. The more CUDA cores available on a graphics card the more hardware the card has for all functions. But memory, memory bandwidth, host interface, and clock speed all contribute to the gaming performance of a card. Generations of NVIDIA hardware also change the equation because newer generations support additional CUDA instructions that older generations don't.

Yes, in general the more CUDA cores the faster the card, but that is a fairly narrow view. To get a feel for a graphics card look at benchmarks for the games/programs you want to run.

CUDA is a GPGPU programming language for Nvidia cards. Each CUDA core can run a single process. If you can imagine something like a Titan with 2880 cores compared to a quad core x86 CPU, then you see why they are useful for things other then games.
