I have an Asus Rampage 3 Formula X58 mobo and it's about 5 years old. With the whole power issue that has circulated Reddit/other hardware sites, I'm at an impasse. I have a RX480 already shipped and was wondering whether or not I should just return it. My old video card (HD7950) died not too long ago (Artifact on startup/bios).
Specs of my computer
I7 960 @ 3.8Ghz/H100 cooled
Asus Rampage 3 Formula Edition (X58)
2x 8GB of Corsair Platinum Dominators DDR3
3x 1 TB Western Digital Black
Corsair TX750

It's hard to tell if your motherboard will react to the power draw of the 480, but it does appear to affecting some users with older motherboards.
Up to you really , i would personally wait and see what the 1060 has to offer
