RX 480 8GB, it now beats out the GTX 1060 6GB even in DX11.

Benchmark: Joker Productions updated RX 480 vs GTX 1060.

amazon cause of prime shipping probably but i can make some mixed choices

Just gaming? Do you want to overclock? What monitor? Just these three are enough to pull off a good build.
