I'm getting into PC gaming and I would like to know wich of these cards should I get:

( I'm going with a white theme PC and I don't plan to apply a custom paint  )

 

Edit:

I will be mainly playing fps like CSGO, Rainbow 6, Overwatch,etc wich one would be better?

I want the best performance for $280

G1 480 sucks. Buy an XFX card and buy white LED fans or buy an Asus dual card

Get the XFX 480, the 480 already caught up in DX11, and tends to hold the lead in DX12/Vukan

 

it also just beat out the 1060 in Resident Evil 7
 

 

 

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Also

 

that's a 3GB 1060 though which is cutdown by 11% in cuda cores vs the 6GB model...and even then, they trade blows...

i would get the one that is cheaper for a better version.

Both are good.  As others pointed out, the 480 can be paired with another 480 later on if your budget and your PSU allows it. 

It should also get longer driver support, but that is of course assuming that AMD will still be around in a couple of years.  A lot is riding on Zen and Vega and given AMD's track record of overhyping and underdelivering I'm not holding my breath on that.

For those games, prolly the 1060, however, the 480 supports SLI which might help you down the road, but honestly you might as well get a better card instead of SLI. So GTX 1060
