Do you have the monitor connected to the GPU and not mobo?
Do you have ALL your latest drivers installed (not only the GPU drivers)?
Do you have Integrated Graphics disabled in Bios?

+1 to Pr3di

Also check your power settings. High performance is the option you want enabled.

CSGO is graphic hungry game, especially when played on Multiplayer. Here's what you can do

* Update you Nvidia drivers to the latest ones
* Check in the Nvidia 3D settings that CSGO runs with the Nvidia GPU and not the Integrated one
* Disable V-Sync from the 3D settings, you don't need that.

Also , on what resolution are you playing?

windows 8 maybe the problem, sometimes it can be really weird 🙁

Go to the Nvidia website and download the latest driver for the GTX 970.
I don`t use the variant driver (Asus in your case) because usually they have an older version driver on their website.

If you already installed "some" driver and you`re not sure if it`s the good one, after downloading the latest driver, use this before you install it.
You need to properly remove the old driver before you install the new one: http://www.overclock.net/t/1150443/how-to-remove-your-nvidia-gpu-drivers
