So I currently planning to upgrade my GPU.
I found a GTX980 Reference for about 260 dollars(Convertion from Google) and I also found a Gigabyte GTX970 Xtreme Gaming (New) Selling about 285 dollars(Convertion from Google too). So should I get the 970 or the 980 Reference?I heard about that the reference is more hotter and noisy. Im using NZXT S340 Chasis.(Dont offer me other GPU, I pretty much interested on these gpu only)(Sorry for bad english).
PS: I planning to buy a 1080P Monitor too.

PS:The GTX980 is used

Considering you are on AMD, you might bottleneck anyway.
OCing a card is usually fine on most boards except really low-quality ones because of power delivery. (think of AM1)
