RX 480 for £250 or GTX 970 for £200

Since i am building a new system, i need a new graphics card. I was originally going for this card but in my local PC shop, i saw this card in it used for £200. which one should i get? I will be playing games like doom, gta, fallout, csgo and others. I also want it partialy future proofed and i will eventualy throw in a second card.

thanks in advance

Future proofing, to me, would favour the RX 480. In some games there doesn't seem a lot between the two cards.

the AMD is a better choice, you get more vram, new architecture, better DX12/Vulkan support and you can get a new Freesync monitor to enjoy a tearing-free gaming experience.

The 970 should be £200 new not used mate.
Wouldn't entertain it at that price ,vthe strix was on sale new at £185 a few weeks ago.

There's a 4gb 480 for £185 here which is a great buy imo.
Although that 8gb xfx 8gb isnonenofvthe beat models there is .
