I am planning on buying a better graphics card than gtx 950 for games specially like ARK S.E. and from what I've read rx 480 is better, but not quite on the $, because I expect that I would need more watts or anything else that I need.

In short are there any trouble I would need to shrug off from using Nvidia (gtx950) to Radeon (rx 470)?

Cause right now even with Gtx 950 there are some hiccups that I though it might be my 500w and prob not enough.
Advanced thx

The RX-470 requires a 450W PSU, the RX-480 a 500W. But it is not just the total watts that will determine the capability of the PSU. It's all about the quality and the capacity of the +12V rail.
You don't mention the rest of your system. CPU? Monitor resolution?
