Hello everyone,

So I recently ordered the gpu from Direct Canada for cd$380, received it earlier today and am very happy with it playing heroes and generals, and am thinking of buying bf1 soon. I have it paired with an i5 7500 and 8gb of ddr4 2400 ram with a evga 500w psu. Is it worth returning it to get the rx 580 8gb? I believe I can still return the gtx. Thank you

No, keep the EVGA GTX 1060 SSC. It's an excellent card. The RX 580 is just a rebranded RX 480 with an increased power limit, and the very slightest of overclocks. By the way, your i5-7500 would even be a good match up to a GTX 1070, but at that point I would upgrade the quality of power supply.

You can return it if you want to, but not much difference between RX480 an RX580.
It's the same exact card, people are flashing the RX580 BIOS to an RX480 to improve performance.
I would not go through the trouble to return it, you could be left without a GPU for some time, I don't know how return works there.
