Im looking to upgrade in the future, maybe buy a 470 now and then buy a 480 when i need a boost and put the 470 and 480 in crossfire. so is it samrt to just buy a 470 now and buy a 480 6 months later and crossfire them? or buy a 1060 with no sli?

My tight budget is around $200

I want to play bf4, cod3, witcher3, and a few other games on a 1080p monitor with 60hz refresh rate

I would just stick with a 1060 because it has great single card performance. When the card gets slow upgrade to a new one. Coming from SLI/CF one card has less issues and works better with all games.

I still don't understand why they make the RX480 in a 8gb version that card is really only good for 1080p and uses avg of 2-3gb vram lol.

dying light being the first to come to mind, that pushed 3.9 gb's for me at 1080p. theres multiple games that use over 4gb's at 1080p, the rx 480 also does well at 1440p and that would use up more video memory as well. and vram is video memory, think of it like the ram in your computer(the sticks next to your cpu) but on the graphics card.
