For $220? You can find cheaper 480s and 1060s...

I could get a RX 480 8GB model cheaper? I mean, I was planning to get the MSI model because it had some decent reviews.

You can get a 480 8GB for $20 less...

However, spend $10 more and get the GTR. It is MUCH better:

Yep, the GTR is bad ass.

 

All this BS debate over the 1060 vs 480 totally side steps overclocking. Realistically neither is better than the other, and neither is guarantied to be better down the line. You buy based on price at that tier of graphics card. 

 

The 1060 6g will overclock better than a 480.

The 480 will crossfire with another 480 while the 1060 does not support SLI.

 

That's the facts, and the only facts. 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

I'm getting this one this week only 205, and i done some research and asked around a lot of people say msi make good gpu's,

Also thing about the cool lighting this one comes with( unless you don't have a sidewindow), and i would say its a good future proof card as you can just buy another one in a year or two it will probably be cheaper than and just crossfire 'em.

Funny, but Sapphine Nitro+ is the cheapest one in my country, yet it's top class. Check that one as well. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

This is the deal I'd go with. Best price and Sapphire is always reliable.
