Couldn't find a GTX 1070 or GTX 980 under $300 I did manage to find a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Xtreme Gaming on Superbiz (http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=GV-N1060EX&c=CJ) for $282

Have you tried PCPartPicker.com?

Update: Nevermind. seems $379.00 is the least expensive.

Probably not, you're going to have a hard time even finding something used for that price range. For your build and budget, I'd recommend a 1060 6gb mode. Wouldn't worry too much about vendor, but I wouldn't pay more than $250 for one. I got a PNY 1060 from Jet for $220, and it's freaking awesome. You aren't going to hit 144 fps in anything AAA on the highest settings, but you should stay pretty close to 60. I get good frames in Ark, Forza Horizon 3, and Just Cause 3, to name a few.

If you want that 144 fps in 1080p, you'll need to save up a little more and get the 1070. The 980 is outdated, overpriced, and is only a hair better than the 1060 6gb.

Just get a 1060 6GB. It's performance is about the same as a 980, it has more VRAM, and you should be able to find one for about $250. The 1070 is out of your price range and the 980 doesn't make much sense now that the 1060 exists.

you want to get 100+ fps you are going to need to get an i7 with that 1070

1060 6gb = rx 480 8gb > 980

This is a tough choice, and I've been down the exact road as you:
http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-vs-AMD-RX-480/2576vs3634
Performance wise right now, the GTX 980 is superior to the rx 480 and gtx 1060. However, the gtx 980 is 2 years older than both and the rx 480 may have better vulkan support that may some day surpass the gtx 980. I chose the gtx 980 due to watching benchmarks on youtube where this card was superior to both the rx 480 and the gtx 1060. I would see if there are any updated youtube videos as the rx 480's driver support may have improved, thus turning the performance tables a bit.
