If you're going for an RX, get the 580. Otherwise, get the 1060. I'd probably opt for the higher memory versions of either card. The 580 is a bit more respectable now in terms of performance, but the 1060 is still pretty much on par, and at a lower power consumption.

They are loud, and they run hot.

That is over $500...

It was for $259 until yesterday, in a promotion, sadly I didn't look first if it was still on time It was the subject at this topic:

regardless you can easily find plenty second hand ones for 300 or less and it is a superior purchase by all means should you have PSU for it.

That's all 480s from a specific manufacturer. Just get an RX580 with a good cooler form someone like Asus or MSI, an you should be good to go.

You can't OC the memory on the 4GB 480s at all. Something not a lot of people talk about, but it can make a substantial difference in some games.
