So my friend really wants to buy my RX 470 and I'll sell it to him but I really don't know what I should go for next... (1080's are out of the question since I can't find those locally anyways)

https://www.bajanbestbuy.com/cat/graphic-cards these are the cheapest cards locally (divide the price by 2 to get USD prices)

CPU: Intel i7 7700K | GPU: ROG Strix GTX 1080Ti | PSU: Seasonic X-1250 (faulty) | Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200Mhz 16GB | OS Drive: Western Digital Black NVMe 250GB | Game Drive(s): Samsung 970 Evo 500GB, Hitachi 7K3000 3TB 3.5" | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270x Gaming 7 | Case: Fractal Design Define S (No Window and modded front Panel) | Monitor(s): Dell S2716DG G-Sync 144Hz, Acer R240HY 60Hz (Dead) | Keyboard: G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780R MX | Mouse: Steelseries Sensei 310 (Striked out parts are sold or dead, awaiting zen2 parts)

I'd say the GTX 1070, because the 480 is about a 10-15 percent difference in performance compared to the 480.

With the amount of times I've heard of ppl having issues with nvidia drivers and gfe at times, it made me happy that I had the 470 and I have to reinstall 2 TBs in games xD
