What graphics card!?!? The wait is killing me

What graphics card should i get?

I was firstly thinking of the 1070 then all of a sudden AMD said RX 480
now i'm stuck wait until 29th get a RX or get a 1070? at the 10th

I plan to game at 1440p maybe 4k

Well, given that the 480 isn't out yet, any answer you get is going to be based on speculation. But here goes:

I highly doubt the 480 is going to be performing at the level of the 1070, although it looks promising in terms of performance per dollar. At 1440p I think either card will be viable, but at 4k I really think you're better off with the 1070.

Beacuse of the rx being quite cheap i could buy 2 for crossfire would this be better than the 1070?

@Sordyxy Many people are speculating that buying two RX 480's and placing them in Crossfire will be more powerful than a single GTX 1070. My honest answer is that there is no way to know what the real world comparison will be. We'll just have to wait for all the performance reviews, once the RX 480 is available for sale.
