So as I've mentioned before I have the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC+ GAMING ACX 2.0+ and I want to get just a bit more out of it to go along with my i7-6700K so can one of you just tell me the settings I should setup the software with please? Also if you have a pic to go with it or in place of just words that would be just as good! As always, any help any of you can offer a know-nothing like me would be so much appreciated. And just so you are aware, I have researched it's just that I have heavy ADD since 14 and it's hard for me to retain the info and make much sense of it at that. Anyway thanks again I cant wait to see what you guys say is the better way to go!

As Stated before.
EVERY chip or piece of silicon is different. What works for me may not work for you.
Some cards have good silicon and overclock like mad. While others get a small overclock and that is it.

All you can really do is try.
Set the voltage to 1.2v MAX
Slide the power limit to 110-112 or all of the way to the right.
Start by increasing the Core clock 50mhz.
Test with Kombuster, OCCT, Furmark. etc.....
If stable slide it another 50mhz.
Test.
If stable and no errors slide it another 50mhz.
Test
Repeat this until it becomes unstable, crashes or produces errors.
Once you hit this limit back off to your last stable setting.
Now increase in 10mhz increments.
Test
Repeat
Repeat etc......
Once you hit your limit, back off 20mhz...

They are based on the same software with a different user interface.
Pick the one you like the look of best.
Every piece of silicone is different, so overclocking will be different on each card.
The simple solution is to slide the power limit to 110/112 %, this will be a 10/12% overclock, if your cooling is good enough.
You may need to set a more aggressive fan profile to keep temps lower for more boost.

Well my friend that is precisely why I am coming to only the greatest single collection of minds on the subject, to see what either any of you have done with it, or if the really smart ones out there just know exactly what I should put the settings at. I mean the little notes that pop up over anything having to do with voltage makes me want to go play my PS4 it scares me so bad. But I know it's there for this so whats a nice stable medium OC that will let me maybe play Witcher 3 with the Hair Works at full "Wind-in-His-Hair" mode or a.k.a. max settings and still pull off a respectable 90 fps or so.

There is no magic number that all cards will run at except stock speeds.
Overclocking is determined by the Silicon lottery. You might get a good chip , or you might not.
