Used 780ti Classified, or New 970?

I think performance wise they're pretty much even. The 970 has a bit more memory available and sucks a bit less electricity. After that it's what $70 difference? I'd say it's a tie and $250 is a pretty reasonable price for the 780Ti
Don't get tripped up over the bus width. Just look at the raw performance numbers at your given resolution.
To dig down a bit, NVIDIA introduced some new compression algo's allowing them to keep the smaller bus and still get very good performance at high resolutions (think 5760x1080 or 4K). At 1440p, the 970's 256bit bus won't choke. At 4K, it shows signs of that as the gap between it and the 290/290x is smaller than at lower resolutions.
You are going 1440, right? You may want to add that into the first post as it is pretty relevant.

Not IPS, but 144Hz 1440p. Acer does have the 144Hz 1440p IPS, but it's another $100, give or take.
Does anyone think GSync is going to come down significantly, any time soon?
bro its not even close the same performance

ive had both those cards johan ive had 970 980 and a 780ti and the 780ti actually performs when oced the same compared to even a 980 never mind a 970. The 780 ti is 2-4 fps slower than a 980 which is still alot faster than a 970
there u go

And since you like Youtube and not legitimate reviews from other professionals like myself (start from 3:52) -
He even states as much 4:50 in....
i like youtube that does factual stuff tech powerup is legitmate i never said it wasnt i just dont trust written reviews cuz alot of them are biased and i admit im wrong ive found videos of the 970 out performing 780 ti by legit uploaders so my bad i was wrong for once
