The GTX 980 is an excellent GPU.
It has an outstanding power efficiency, minimal heat output and simply a beast in 1440P or under.

I would recommend:
MSI Gaming
EVGA SSC
Gigabyte Gaming G1
Zotac Amp!

Best price/performance GPU is still GTX970 even after GTX980 price cut.
GTX980 is only 10-15% faster than GTX970 but about 100-200 bucks more expensive.
GTX980's price can not justify the extra 0.5GB extra VRAM too.
Both GTX980 and GTX970 will struggle on Witcher 3 @1440p if you aim ultra settings with all effects on plus mods like E3FX.
You can also try to OC your GTX970 to reach GTX980 stock performance. (luck is involved here)

The 390X is not a very good price : performance GPU.

However the R9 290X that has been drastically reduced in price is an outstanding option because of it's excellent price : performance and there are rumors that after DX 12 comes out the R9 290X performance will drastically be improved.
