I'm not seen as I got a R9 380 a few months back. When it comes to GPU cooling it really depends on how good your case airflow is to what version you get. I can recommend MSI for good quality cards as long as your case has a good airflow / cooling.

worst timing man, the rx 480 will be faster that the gtx 970 with a price of 200-250, also i know my builds of coolers just dont know if i want the blower style (looks awesome) or the open air ones. my airflow if pretty good btw (one front one bach one top)

I know but when I made the purchase the release was totally unknown (it was just 2016), its still a good card for me as I don't have any really intensive games that need any better. May upgrade in a year or two when it starts getting obsolete or if I have money to spare.

I was kind of despise for a graphics card at the time as I had on board graphics from intel and as I'm on a Games Development course I needed something when it came to making 3D games. I do see myself upgrading it in a year or so if and when I have the money to do so. Right now its not a primary concern of mine. For all we know in a few generations time I could get something at the same price as the 480 that's as good as say a 980ti or better, who knows :)
