The best bang for buck would be the 970, not really the 980.

If you haven't purchased the graphics card already, the GTX 980 is in the $550 price range. It is the current fastest graphics card.

Basically it depends upon where you live. The prices vary across the globe. Pick one of those three cards that best suits your budget in your area. Any of the three will do a great job.

I just bought a EVGA GTX 780 FTW edition for $525!
it is faster than the superclocked version and has dual bios for some sick OC'ing!
After i get it and OC it even further, i would be willing to put it up against any 290X

For overall value go with this 290x, it's only $480 and out performs the 780 in most games:

Watchdogs is performing better with Nvidia cards due to Nvidia Gameworks ( basically the programmers at Nvidia work with the company's developers to optimize the game for Nvidia cards) however the difference in fps is maybe around 5fps in Watch Dogs, not too bad.
