Hello! I will buy new GPU and I need help for it!
At the moment I have enough money to buy
XFX Radeon RX 480 RS 8GB but I am not sure!
Do I save more money to buy gtx 1060 6 gb or I just go with rx 480 one ?

They're really close. If your PSU is under 500w, go with the 1060 6gb.
If your PSU is 500w or more, the only thing that kind of leans me towards the RX 480 (and I'm an NVIDIA guy now) is that FreeSync/Adaptive sync monitors go for under $200. GSync monitors are all $350+. This might be something to consider. Otherwise, they're very identical in terms of performance. RX 480 performance better...
