RX 480 is performing at or better than the 970 and costs less, has double the Vram too.

i would wait for a aftermarket Rx 480 ref is a bit loud.

I'd get the RX 480 since it is faster, has more VRAM and it is cheaper. I would wait for an aftermarket cooled card from Sapphire, XFX, MSI or Powercolor though.

With the PSU, it is probably worth spending slightly more to get a RM550x, since it is a much better unit and in only costs a couple dollars more.

The cards with better coolers and by other makers are known as AIB (all in board partner) or Aftermarket.

aftermarket refers to cards that are using different heatsink and/or pcb designs from the reference model. also, any gtx 1060 for around the same price or slightly more? its a better performing option if you can get it for a few bucks more.

RX 480 is clearly superior to the 970.

If you can get the 1060 for the same price - it's about 5-10% faster.
