I was looking at GTX 980's and I was wondering, is an Aftermarket cooler worth the extra money? The only GTX 980 with an ACX cooler currently is the Gigabyte one and it's $80 more than the cheapest GTX 980 with the OEM cooler. So in terms of Overclocking, will it provide that significant of a difference?

An ACX cooler is an aftermarket cooler purely related to EVGA on Nvidia cards. Your question is very misleading. An aftermarket cooler is usually quiter and better at overclocking than a reference cooler. However due to the open air design you will need good case airflow to take full advantage of this.
