I'm planning to buy a graphics card for the below desktop specs.

Intel i7-6700 Processor or Intel i5-6500.
8GB DDR4 2133 Memory.
1TB 7200Rpm Hard Disk.
500W Power Supply.


I need to buy a good but not excessively expensive Graphics Card for Gaming that can work for a few years.

Please suggest AMD or Nivdia Graphics card.


Thank you for your support.

I think an RX 470 4gb fits 'good but not excessively expensive" and it should be useful at 1080p gaming for the next couple of years or so. In fact, if it were up to me I'd get an i5 and an RX 470 and with the money you save by skipping the i7 and 480 then you could buy an SSD for your OS drive.
How does this look (I did with I7 but you can slap I5 on this setup same way)
