Need budget tripple 1080P gamming Card

So I currently have a $200  XFX Radeon R9 270X Powering three Tripple 1080P displays. I have plans to sell that card, and when I add that money with the money I can spend, I come to this budget: $200 - $320.

 

I need an upgrade that can run the three, but with only a little bit more money, is it worth upgrading? Should I wait? If I wait, I won't be able to sell my current card for as much as I can now. Any recommendations? I am not playing serious games, but I want to get at least 60 fps on most games at at least medium settings.

 

I was thinking about getting an XFX RX 480 4GB, but I don't know if the extra performance is worth the money.

I use a 970 for 3 1080p monitors, and at high to ultra graphics for newer games, it runs fine. If you do med-high it can do 60fps. The asus strix cards are always on sale for about $280-300

So, the question is GTX 970, RX 480 8GB, or Radeon R9 380X?

 

I think that anything but the RX isn't worth the extra dough for the performance. Thoughts?

I was looking at the sapphire nitro. Why 8 pin?

 

I have had good experience with XFX, and prefer their cards.

8 pin, cause more overclocking potential? lol.

Alright, this is what I am looking at. I couldn't find the sapphire on amazon, could you get me a link?

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-RADEON-DDR5-3xDP-RX480M8BFA6/dp/B01H3P9CKI/?ie=UTF8&qid=1467674944&sr=8-1&keywords=rx+480

Don't buy a reference card, wait for the aftermarket cards that should release in 2-3 weeks. The reference board and cooler suck on the RX 480, but the aftermarket cards should be really nice.
