RX480 Or GTX1060

I need some help I am building a PC but I am stuck on which graphics card to pick between the RX480 and GTX1060

I've heard that the 480 has had some power issues so I'd prefer the 1060 but I'm not really sure.

 

What do you guys think?

Wait for benchmarks.

 

The issues with the reference RX 480 have been ironed out with the latest driver. Still, would hold out for the custom variants like the Sapphire Nitro.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

The GTX 1060 reviews have not come out, and until it does, we cannot be sure of its caliber...

Nothing to see here ;)

Wait for benchmaks of the 1060 and then aftermarket coolers and pcbs for both before deciding, that's what I'm doing.

Only two ways to do this:

1. Wait until Custom 480 and Custom 1060 are out, then decide 

2. Nope this seems to be the best way xD

Wait for benchmarks before we can say anything about the 1060.
