Choosing Graphics Card

[Barristan]

GTX 1060 is better than RX 480 and the MSRP of it is $250

If you can actually find a GTX 1060 at the MSRP. You might be able to get a 3 GB for under that, but the 6 GB versions have been hovering around $280-$300.

For $250 or so, like someone said, you can probably pull a RX 480 8 GB model, though some people will say get the 4 GB version, since the performance increase between the two is negligible.

Personally, I would grab the 8 GB, but you haven't mentioned what your CPU situation looks like, either.

A quick glance on PCpartpicker...

There's about 7 that are at or under MSRP

I stand corrected. Usually, Nvidia errs on the high side of the range. I personally have been on the fence between the two, and if the 1060's stay around that price, I might have to pick one up.
