Looking at the performance at the current (1-2 month) AMD drivers, seems to be the RX 480 is the best ticket to go.
I'm in the same place, but with manufacturers lol (i'm between ASUS or XFX GTR)

Honestly, I think it's only a matter of preference.
* GTX1060 is better in older titles, but you would still score well above 60+ FPS with the RX480 with the majority of the games.
* RX480 is better with newer/DX12 titles. For AMD, 2016 was all about DX12 and the possible benefits, etc.
So moving forward, RX480 could be a better bet with more VRAM and better DX12 performance.
If I were you, I would wait for the CES AMD Vega announcement - happening this week, more options plus possible price drops. But you could hardly go wrong with either the GTX1060 or the RX480.

I prefer sapphire, personally own a RX480 8GB NITRO+ OC. Silent and fast, plus I like the look/design as well.
Some performance comparisons with this card with newer titles:

I wanna ask, its true about the temperature reaching 70°C and the fans @ 70% sounds like an airplane? A known guy owns the Sapphire and he isn't having a good time with the card.
