It has a X79 MB so the bios likely has UEFI mode and UEFI with CSM............ is CSM enabled?
The 970 may not have a fully UEFI Bios............. google it.....
Did you switch the UEFI mode on while doing all this in the bios?
If you hold shift and then Click Restart do you get the option to enter the UEFI Firmware?
The problem is the board is trying to boot in UEFI mode most likely and that UEFI GOP section hasnt been updated to support the 970, So what you need to do is make sure to use Legacy Boot for GPU (Enable CSM). On your board it would be under the BOOT section in the BIOS.
1. Enable CSM / Legacy boot, I myself just diasble UEFI totally putting everything on Legacy in the UEFI Boot section for testing.
2. Disable the on chip GPU
