Hey guys i have a question about what gpu should i buy.
I still have trouble deciding which gpu should i buy, the Sapphire RX480 is about 275dollars in my country.
And the Palit GTX1060 Jetstream is 305dollars.
And there's this Colorful iGame GTX1060 thats priced at only 265dollars,but i don't even know if this brand any good.

Please help me decide which should i buy because i heard that the RX480 would win against GTX1060 in DX12, so i think it would be better for futureproofing(if DX12 games would release soon though).

And there's also few cheap freesync monitors on my country that has a LG brand and it also has good reviews on my country
It is priced at 140dollars.
And gsync is so expensive.
Is it also worth it going for the freesync one?
If the only benefits of freesync/gsync is no more screen tearing at higher fps, i could live without it.

And for the psu, i have Seasonic M12II Evo 520w
Would it be enough for those cards?

Thanks in advance!

The RX480 has more vram, more shader units and great DX12 support. This adds up to better future proofing for the next 3 - 4 years.

Some advanced games already use multi GPU techniques using dual GPUs. The RX480 is upgradable to dual units in a crossfire configuration.

According to benchmarks and gaming tests gtx 1060 is about 10% faster than 480. But gsync monitor is expensive than freesync so if you really want to buy adaptive sync monitor then just buy rx480 and that lg monitor bro.

Mm, ok but what about DirectX12 and Vulkan?
I have heard that they works better on RX480.
And about the monitor... Eh, i don't really worry about it, i don't really need freesync/Gsync.
