You should really use an asic to mine cryptocurrencies. IMO cryptocurrencies are not worth it anymore. You end up spending more money in power than you are making in return.
As for gpu's and oclhashcat, you should use nvidia 970 or newer (use reference design cards, not a gaming gpu). ATI is not pci-e compliant and have been proven that under certain circumstances that they draw more power than the pci slot can handle and they burn up motherboards. You will get a lot more out of NVIDIA due to them having a phenominal performance to watt ratio. It would be better if you got another gtx 970. Stay away from ATI.
By the way your topic heading... cudahashcat is for nvidia, oclhashcat is for ATI.
