Best GPU For My Build

[LordBalanski]

Hey everyone, I am currently in the middle of making my first gaming PC and I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a GPU that would suit my build.

I was looking at the Sapphire Radeon RX 480 4GB NITRO+ 4G Video Card. But again, I am an amateur when it comes to picking parts, also I was hoping to find a GPU that stays quiet when not under load if possible.

GTX 1070 if you can.

GTX 1070/GTX 1060 6gb. 

 

youre getting what you pay for, the GTX 1070 is definitely better. 

[Cyracus]

Depends on the display you'll be using, the 1060 is good for 1080p, the 1070 is good for 1440p or high refresh 1080p

best value 1070 

cheap but good card rx 480 8gb 

best performance 1080  

[MedievalMatt]

Id go with a GTX 1070 if you can afford it.  However a 1060 6GB or a RX 480 8GB are good alternatives for 1080P gaming.

Overwhelmed by the helpful responses, thank you everyone  
At this point it is a tossup between my original choice of the RX 480 vs. a GTX 1060 6GB. Sadly a 1070 is outta my price range at this point in time. If I were to choice from the above two GPU's, which one would be better (mainly 1080p gaming at this point)

I would 480 4GB today, because it's significantly cheaper than a 1060, but that will depend on NZ prices. I've seen people hit 1500 on air before (albeit with a great chip) so overclocking should yield at least decent performance increase.

I would go for 1060 6gb personally. 

[LordBalanski]

After looking at the prices, there is roughly $100 NZD difference, so I'm not worried about the price. So which one is better for overall performance? I'm guessing the 1060?
