GTX 780 vs 970 buying advice?

Utilizing a mitx, so just single GPU arrangements. Yes, likewise concerned to verify I get a decent post-retail heatsink in the event that I even go close to the R9 arrangement.

nvidia addressed this issue:

NVIDIA Responds to GTX 970 3.5GB Memory Issue | PC Perspective

The GeForce GTX 970 is equipped with 4GB of dedicated graphics memory. However the 970 has a different configuration of SMs than the 980, and fewer crossbar resources to the memory system. To optimally manage memory traffic in this configuration, we segment graphics memory into a 3.5GB section and a 0.5GB section. The GPU has higher priority access to the 3.5GB section. When a game needs less than 3.5GB of video memory per draw command then it will only access the first partition, and 3rd party applications that measure memory usage will report 3.5GB of memory in use on GTX 970, but may report more for GTX 980 if there is more memory used by other commands. When a game requires more than 3.5GB of memory then we use both segments.

agreed use pc parts picker way easier covers all your bases. ncix website sucks and there deals arnt even that great anymore. plus other sites have better price matching too..
 
im looking at a similar thing. the 970 is the way to go but depending on your case and air flow. since you cant get a reference cooler on the 970 in canada without shipping it form europe and paying 500$ after shipping + conversion ive been looking at 780/780ti used with refence cooler for pretty reasonable prices 300-450 tops but i have a smaller case to work with. i would go 970 if you got a big case
