480 should be fine. Save some cash.

If you are looking forward, get the rx480 (so that you can flip it and get an rx490 when they release), if you are looking at the now, get the 1060. Period.

It's all up to you whether extra money worth it with 5-10fps increase

There have been a review of a custom RX480 beating a MSI 1060 gaming X...of course they were either games that runs better on AMD cards or DX12/Vulkan games but still, the RX480 can beat the 1060 in some games, it's just the 1060 beats the RX480 is most DX11 games

480 should be fine for those games

It also beats in dx12 titles, vulkan is still amd land but for dx12 it comes down to whether the developer optimized for red or green

 

480 is fine though op, so long as it isn't reference

I thought it was more whether the games was made for DX12 in the first place or not...like rise of the tomb raider, apparently it's half baked and  only integrated DX12 when it was almost completed or something  

Still at the moment, more low level API based games favor AMD

RX480. Best bang for the buck.

Sorry

my friend will have it if it runs arma he doesn't care

Probably Rx 480. While the 1060 is slightly faster rn, it is also slightly more expensive. AMD also has a track record of supporting their cards for longer than Nvidia meaning the 480 will be better than the 1060 in a couple years. Just my thoughts.
