So as many of us know, the RX 480 will be coming out in 2 days, and thankfully I finally have the needed budget to buy a new GPU (Still running on my #420BlazeIt). So I'm just wondering which brand of the 480 to get, seeing as how AMD cards don't usually have THAT big of a difference between the third-parties. Currently I'm just going to go with the MSI one because I've used their cards in the past and they've never done me wrong, but my friends just tell me the only difference is going to be policies on things like returns and repairs from the company. Any advice? 

My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sdbpcf

Inb4, "why a good cpu but awful gpu?"

I would wait for the MSI version then the XFX one then the Sapphire one then the Gigabyte one then the Powercolor one and finally the Asus one. I am basing this off levels of customer support.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Sapphire or MSI

When life gives you drugs you sell them for a living.
