Just so everyone realizes, the FTW+ models are the best of the mainstream EVGA lines, with better binned chips, a higher factory clock, and often better cooling configurations. It's a bit odd to me that everyone is in favor of the 970 SC when the FTW+ is notably better for a reasonably small price increase.
Considering my MSI 980Ti is only 3 months old and an absolute beast with my Acer Predator X34, I'd still rather get another one than worry about Pascal.
