Should I get a gtx 1060 (6gb), a gtx 1070 or an RX 480 (8gb)? :)

Hello there

I was planning on upgrading my PC.

I currently have:
a gtx 1050 ti
i5 6500 (Recently upgraded from an i3 6100)
H110M-DGS motherboard
430W EVGA power supply

And a 120Hz 1080p monitor

I would like to hear your opinion on which of those graphics cards I should get

Oh and lastly, I live in Denmark, and the price of a gtx 1060 (6gb) is 313 USD, for a 1070 it's 470 USD and for the RX 480 (8gb) it's 285-300 USD

The GTX 1070 would be more suited for 1080p/~120Hz AAA gaming (the GTX 1060 at 1080p/~60Hz), depending on your in-game settings, of course. However, if you opt for the GTX 1070, I would recommend increasing your PSU to ~500W to 550W (for better efficiency and proper amperage/wattage as 430W, i.e., only 408W at the +12V rail, not to mention only 1x 8-pin PCIE supplemental power cable, would be pushing your power draw to its limits and would not work with GPU models requiring 2x PCIE power connections). You *might* get away with that 430W on the GTX 1060 (since you have a low-TDP CPU) but it's **not recommended** with that PSU model (lower-quality compared to other models available).

Ditto, the only thing I would consider for you is a 1070 simply because of your monitor.
You'll be able to use a 1070 with your PSU, but again, as mentioned, With that unit I wouldn't be very confident due to it's poor performance.
Here's a combo for you.

Thank you to the both of you. Gtx 1070 and a new 550W+ power supply it is
