The 750ti is a big step down from a 970. I'd either hold out for the 970 or if you'd like an upgrade now consider a gtx 960. It's around $170-185 so not too much more than the 750ti. ($185 is for the evga super sc edition of the 960).

Have a look at the tabs on this site as they have a few games benchmarks. In many the 750ti is struggling even at 1080 unless you really turn down the settings while the 960 can handle 1080p at high/ultra at playable frames.
