Which is worth it? The EVGA GTX 970 FTW+ w/ACX 2.0+ or the GTX 970 FTW w/ACX 2.0

Im buying a new graphics card and I've checked to make sure everything in my build is compatible with these two cards, after checking their specs i realized the large price difference between them and the small spec difference. Money isn't much of a problem but i don't want to throw money away either, is it worth getting the FTW+ w/ACX 2.0+ or the FTW w/ACX 2.0? I've checked other sites and they all have a 30$-80$ price difference between the two cards

Man, that's a lot to spend on any 970 IMO. You're into GTX 980 territory. But to answer your question, no. I'd get the less expensive one if the only difference is a slight improvement in cooling.

Just for comparison sake, I put this GTX 970 in a build for someone. He's playing games at max settings at 1080p/60 Hz. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500362
