970s are around $300 as well I believe... Anyway, I would go with the 970 simply because it is a newer card with comparable performance. It also has double the VRAM which is becoming more and more important in newer games. 2 or 3 way SLI is also a much more reasonable possibility with the 970 in the future. Driver support will be better, games will be better optimized, cooler will probably be a little better.
The reasons for the 970 are stacked, the 690 was good in its time, but no reason to go backwards in your situation.

Well if you can get the 690 for 300 take it, if you dont like it you could sell it for 500 and get a 970 and bottle of your preferred hooch and some Chinese takeout with your other half

690 isnt that old. Its quite a powerful card but higher the resolutions the more u will run in out of vram memory. Dont get me wrong the 690 was a beast in its days but a better option would be 970. Mayb at 1080p a 690 woild suffice but remeber every new game gen engine get more brutal day by day on the gpu. My money on the 970. Oh and dont forget u need a slightly good higher psu for the 690. The 970 comes out more energy efficient.
