Right now I have a freesync monitor paired with a 970. When I got the monitor I thought I would get an rx 580/680 sometime down the line, but then I said "my 970 sells on ebay for ~$160 - $190. This card that is better and supports freesync is going for $180, so I pay a maximum of $20 for a modest/good GPU upgrade". So now I want to buy a 480
Anyways, this is the cheapest 480 I've found yet (4gb PowerColor model):

And how well does it compare to this (4gb Gigabyte model):

There are multiple reviews for the Gigabyte model, and they all say the card gets pretty hot and that a custom fan curve and under volt is recommended. Do you think the PowerColor model is a good option? Thanks!
