Still trying to find a gpu for $200. the front runner right now is the 960 ACX. It's only $178. Sooo, the cheaper the better. It's going to be strictly gaming, the games as of now are undecided, but I want the biggest bang for the buck. I have been directed towards the 480 countless times, but every 480 I find is out of stock, so if you say the 480, add a link. I'm only running an i3-4160, so if you know a GPU better for the CPU, feel free to add your two cents there.

Where do you live?

If you live in the USA the best option is to do the now in stock sub stuff and keep an eye on the cheap rx 480's on newegg.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3
