I recently bought a PC with a GTX 970 4GB and so far it can run the game on max np, only thing that ever brings it down is relic optimization/server performace, cause every once in a while you'll get a 1-2 second freeze/delayed response which is annoying but can happen because of how Relic designed the game, sadly. I'm hoping next patch performance is addressed so I can enjoy the game without anymore interruptions, ever. So anyway, point is, GTX 970 works superbly with CoH2.

Also fun fact/tip: when you get the game, keep AA on low, because honestly having it on MAX with the way Relic's current performance is with the game can actually decrease framerate by a bit for no reason, also it honestly doesn't change the look or feel of anything with AA on max, so best to keep it on low, in my honest opinion, everything else settings wise can be cranked up to whatever you feel like.

Another side note: The people having problems with their GTX 970's were either due to them using a built in one for their laptop, or not having them unlocked on maximum performance via BIOS after setting up their new PC(sometimes the Graphics Card might not be set on Maximum performance).
Use this to find out and compare with the normal performance settings for the card online after installing it, although usually you'll notice when your game isn't running very well for no reason: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

I'd look at a Corsair H20 cooler if you insist on going that route.

Also I'd suggest looking at a Z97 or H97 motherboard as they are the newer version of the 87's. You'll also probably wnat a better power supply if you plan to push that video card well. Again I'd look at the Corsair TX and higher line.
