Main investment should be in CPU/MB/PSU for they'll be the backbone of your gaming PC for the years to come. Just look at the recent review of the next gen KabyLake i7 7700k and the number of people who invested on their i5 2500k/3570k and still have their gaming PC going strong years afterward with GPU upgrade as needed and you'll see how this investment will payout for you in the long term.

A Sapphire Nitro+ RX470 paired with a FreeSync screen with 1ms response time will give you solid gaming performance at High settings FullHD ~60fps on demanding titles (Battlefield, etc), 100+ on less demanding (Overwatch, etc) and 140+ on lower end thing (CS:GO, etc). It won't get you to Ultra but the kind of monitors you can get at this price range can't really demonstrate the difference anyway.

@ScrewySqrl: The Gigabyte RX480 8GB is the discontinued reference model. And at $250 you might as well go with the Gigabyte GTX 1060 WF2OC albeit not being the G1 Gaming series, it'll only come with a plastic backplate and without any LED.
