Hello its time to upgrade my graphics card! I am thinking of 480 8GB or 1060 6GB. Which of these two should I get and what version (MSI,EVGA,GIGABYTE etc.)?
CPU: 8320 4.8GHZ
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
PSU: EVGA 850W G1
Case: CoolerMaster Storm Enforcer

For starters, I would probably rule out the RX480 in favor of the RX580 that was recently announced.

From all the documentation I have seen, the RX580 seems to be the better buy versus the GTX 1060.

I will use it for 1080 gaming. In my country EVGA GeForce GTX1060 6GB SSC Gaming ACX 3.0 and Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 8GB XTR Aorus have the same price 320€.

I will upgrade to ryzen in few months.
 


The 1600(x) would be where I would go from that FX CPU. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/noctua-three-amd-ryzen-coolers,33558.html shows a few Ryzen ready cooling options.
