I have roughly the exact specs you do.
SPECS:
EVGA GTX 970 SC
AMD FX 8350 (using) Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler
Corsair 600W PSU
Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 1333 Dual Kit - Red
500GB HDD
120GB Intel SSD
Windows 8.1 64 Bit
I don't play Battlefield 4 so I can't really say much but check in your Nvidia control panel that DSR - Factors is OFF because that will drop your FPS a good bit also make sure your power management mode is set to Maximum Performance and that if your on one monitor that Multi-Display/mixed-GPU acceleration is set to single display performance mode.
Also GPU usage on most games won't be 99% for example running Bioshock 2 myself my GPU Usage can go anywhere from 20% usage to 60% usage with a consistent 60 FPS with adaptive v-sync.
