My 760 is showing it's age and I've got the money now for a 980 but with pascal probably coming out next summer would it be a poor choice to upgrade now? Also, I am really liking what I see from the r9 fury all the videos and benchmarks are making it look pretty good as well. So, should I wait it out and suffer the 760 until next year or bite the bullet and get something new now?

There will always be something being released just around the corner. If you always wait you will never buy.

Now I prefer Nvidia, I feel there drivers are much better but that's a personal choice, loads of people love AMD. However the 980 is badly priced usually, its only about 10% faster than the 970, it can use all its 4gb VRAM better which would help at resolutions over 1080p but that's about it. For price and performance the 2 stars of Nvidia are the 970 and 980Ti. As much as I prefer Nvidia if your looking at the 980 prices you are probably better off looking at AMD
