Yeah, the reference design GTX 970 is a unicorn in the US. Not even I can get them, which is frustrating. I bought one from Best Buy just to have one, but I can't get them in bulk. They are a Best Buy exclusive 
I have tested the PNY 970 you've linked to, but I don't like the PNY 970 as much because it doesn't have slots in the rear to allow air in from the rear. It only draws air in from the blower itself. This works okay in an open air chassis, but not really for anything else.
Check out the following cards instead:
ASUS TURBO-GTX970-OC-4GD5
MSI GTX 970 4GD5 OC
