The performance increase in games from GT 630 to GTX 970 will be huge.

Your GT 630 is slightly better than the integrated graphics from your Core i5-4460.
 
That's a reasonable GPU for your system, I have one in a similar (Sandy Bridge i5) setup as my gamer. Newegg/EVGA seems to be rebating the SSC version a bit more, you might be able to get one for the same price as the SC version if you don't want to OC the card yourself.

Aside from that, the only thing I would update on your system would be the RAM... swap those 2x2GB sticks out for a single 4GB stick comparable to your other 4GB stick.

Your GPU link does not actually go to a specific GPU.

I encountered this recently, EVGA's site for some reason hides product links when out of stock and hidden for a while. I don't understand why they run their site like that. Then you have to dig through the support section of their site to find cards that aren't actively listed at the moment (but are on Newegg, Amazon, etc.)
 
Anything more than 970 is a waste for your CPU. Anything less than 970 won't give adequate performance. The sweet spot for you is:

970
290
290X
390
