I built my budget gaming pc last month (specs below), I'm finding I get a lot of screen tearing (without v-sync) or slow down (with v-sync enabled) on games such as Doom, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and Crysis 3. I've just seen a really good deal on an asus strix gtx 970 in pc world and wondered if that would solve my problems...

I have had a 970 since it came out. I was upgrading from a 680 and I was not impressed. Although it is quite a bit better than your 380, I would suggest that you save your money instead of buying more disappointment and go for a more future proof card, or maybe save a little more, sell your card and grab a 1070 (or a used 980ti since its cheaper and faster).

To directly answer your question, yes my EVGA FTW 970 GTX does play Doom on max settings at 1080p without screen tearing, but I do have an i7 and 16 gig ram so keep that in mind as well.
