From http://hwbench.com for comparison

Summary

Gaming performance index

 

  • Radeon RX 470
    100%
  • GeForce GTX 970
    105%

Average relative performance

Reasons to consider Radeon RX 470

48 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 970 .
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support.
Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute.
Supports FreeSync.
Supports GameDVR (allows game streaming with minimum performance penalty).
Supports TrueAudio.

Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 970

5% higher gaming performance.
Supports PhysX.
Supports G-Sync.

Supports ShadowPlay (this feature enables game streaming with minimum performance penalty).

 

If you can spring $10 then here is a 470

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

Don't bother. Buy a 1060 for that price.

 

Pretty sure the 1060 can match the performance of a 470 or 970.

For new, I'd say a GTX 960, maybe they dropped in price though with the new cards coming out (not sure). Newegg seems to have removed a decent amount of them from their site though. 

 

As for the used market goes, I'm sorry as I can't exactly provide the best advice in this area. I just don't have the proper or enough experience for it.

Here is a like to a $200 1060. I know it's $10 over budget but this is as close as I could find. I can't image $10 over causing too much trouble

1060 3GB

It costs $205 with shipping to the midwest (most likely changes, but $200 base.)

 

 

I'd highly recommend getting $10 more for the 1060 which is way faster than the 470.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

If by "match" you mean "beat it by a significant margin" then yes, it will "match" those in performance...

I would recommend stretching your budget a bit and looking for an RX480 4GB or GTX 1060 3GB. they're both going to out perform your options and are only very slightly more expensive. I would recommend the RX480 4GB over the 1060 3GB, but either would be a good investment for you.

Lol. Thing is, I didn't actually check up on this before posting (10/10 smart idea). I was sure that it could AT LEAST match it but I didn't want to say anything more just in case I was horribly wrong

1060 3 gb in 2016

 

your joking right?

 

it s like 10% worse than the 1060 6 gb

 

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-480-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB/3634vs3646

 

it ties with the Rx 480

plus 3 GB in 2016 is a joke. 

4 GB minimum for 1080p

Even the GTX 660 which is both slow, and 2GB is still very relevant for 1080p.  (obviously can't still do full settings.)

both Far Cry 4 and Shadow of Mordor need over 3 GB for 1080p

also count GTA 5

Watch Dogs

Evil WIthin

 

 

those are games now

 

 

games are only getting more demanding.  what about at-least some future-proofing a gpu?
