If you can afford the RX 480 then that is the one to buy. It is roughly on a par with a stock GTX 980.
However if this is not possible, assuming you have a 1080p 60Hz monitor (or less) then the R9 380X is a good choice.
I picked up a Sapphire Nitro R9 380X for 219€ not long after they launched for use with such a monitor and I've not been disappointed.
With 4GB vram it should last you a good while yet. With the exception of Doom 2016 and GTA V I can max out every game at 1080p and get 60 fps all the time/almost all the time at stock settings.
It overclocks well (for a Radeon card!) and for the price I paid, the only thing that can beat it 'bang for buck' is the likes of the new RX 470 and RX 480 it appears.

Djaniko0o :
Hm..Thanks. I'm useing monitor 60hz 1920x1080
I will try to buy RX480, but I don't know. Is enought 550w fractal design integra for 380x and i5 6500? And Is 380x and i5 6500 are good mixture?550W is enough and yes, the i5 and 380x is good mix. I have an older i5 ( 4440 ) and 270x and I can still play new games at 1080p with med\high settings.

In France/Germany the R9 380X has dropped to just below 200€ now at some e-tailers. The release of the RX 480 probably helped a bit.
