Need help deciding what to buy

[SirDarknight]

My budget is less than $250. I'm in Bangladesh,Asia where GPUs are pricey and for some reason RX480 8GB costs almost $390 here. I'll do 1080p@60Hz gaming, so my choices are :

• 
  
• R9 390 (used) - Costs around $250 here (But nobody is selling one currently & I'd need a new PSU).
• RX 470 4GB - Costs around $280 here but 470<390
• GTX 1060 3GB - Not available yet. Not sure bout it's performance
• GTX 970 (not futureproof)

Here's one of the most renowned PC selling stores in our country - Startech, you may check out the prices for an idea.

Tnx in advance.

definitely gtx 1060. even 3gb outperforms rx 480. 6gb would be better tho.

Ummmmm...No, it has 3gb of VRAM which is no where near future proof

Ok let me correct myself. It's not really outperforming but it does perform a little better

Performs slight little more, while having 3gb of VRAM which is no where near enough for certain games and if you want Free-Sync its even better

 

As for the topic, the best of out all those cards is the 390 which is absolutely beast, but requires case room and allot of power while even outperforming a RX 480

 

But its used

Ok first and foremost, there is not such thing as future proof. Yes you can have one card last longer than another one but you will have to upgrade eventually. So the thing here is I would recommend the R9 390. The 1060 is just a hair better than the 390 but not even by much. The real winner here is the amount of VRAM. Also to consider, that it would help to know what your CPU is so that either the card that we can all agree on wont cause to be a bottle neck due to the lack of power of the CPU. The 390 will last you awhile and would be a good choice out of all of these GPU's. I would recommend, if possible, saving up for a 1070 or buying a 1070 used, if possible.
