That's not bad actually. The 1060 3gb and 480 4gb are equal in DX11, but in DX12, the 480 a little faster. I'd go with the 480 4gb.

But if you decide to step it up to the next level, the 1060 6gb is superior to the 480 8gb.
If you have the space get the Palit, otherwise if you're not overclocking there's really not that much of a difference. The 6GB version is the full core, if you can buy that I would but otherwise the 3GB is fine. How much is the cheapest RX 480 4GB?

My PSU is big enough. I never noticed the power difference though, is that just for the extra fan?
