it will depend on so many things, if you are on a budget get a 970, the rx480 is better on the long run. 

I have money for the 480.

You're great to go for that, but if your system is like me (even some say GTX 970 is too much for LGA 775) go for GTX 970

I agree with @nerdslayer1, and make sure don't get the EVGA one because it lacks a port (not sure which one)

i mean idk. the rx 480 is for 60 fps 1080p gaming at really high settings. you aren't going to have it be cpu bound at low fps like that unless you have a really bad cpu.

I feel like that's a no brainer with the 970 costing so little. They still have similar performance even though you will be restrained by the 3.5GB RAM in the 970.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Lol ok, now let's solve OP's problem.

Wait @nerdslayer1 has the answer already, it's just what's his CPU in that socket (1155)?
