Okay so I am building my first rig. I have an intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor (BX80646I54590) + GIGABYTE 1150 Intel Z97 ATX Motherboard (GA-Z97X-SLI LGA). I have been planning on getting the 970 but now I am re thinking it. It's backordered and was thinking what other alternatives there are to the 970. I don't plan on using multiple monitors but I do want to play on ultra settings for future games.
is 970 really necessary?

Well, if you look at it compared to the 770 it is about $30 more, 25-30% stronger, and uses quite less power. If you ask me, it is a fantastic GPU on the market that is released for a great price for being new. I would definitely get it if I could, and especially over any AMD GPUs which are hotter, more power-hungry, and less powerful.

Nothing comes close in its price range.

If you're really urgent about it then there are some cheap R9 290X around , however they use more power and output more heat.
