Ok so im getting a new card soon and was wondering which is the better purchase

Current setup:
i5-4460
Msi z97 gaming 7
8gb 1866 kingston hyper x fury
Palit Gtx 660
Aerocool 500w 80+ bronze

Everything in this setup was purchased november 2015 except for the card which I've had for even longer

Probably the RX 480 8GB as you can easily add 8GB system RAM later on. It's harder to replace your GPU than it is to add RAM if you find out the 4GB version isn't enough for a new game a year later. It would still be okay though.
