AMD RX 480 vs Nvidia GTX 1060

[pauliuxer]

Hello, I have a pc, would like to turn it into a Hackintosh. I checked online for compatibility and everything should work, except my GPU.
My current system is:
CPU: Intel Core i3-3240
Mainboard: Gigabyte B75M-D3V
RAM: 8GB DDR3
GPU: Gigabyte R7 240 2GB OC Edition
The GPU is outdated and probably won't work with macOS, so I need a new one. I don't have a lot of money so my target is RX480 or GTX1060. RX480 should work, but I don't know much about the GTX1060.
NOTE: I'm planning to dualboot Windows for games.

The RX 480 has early beta drivers and requires some tweaking, the GTX 1060 doesn't have any drivers at all. Personally I wouldn't recommend any of them (unless you can wait and/or are fine with some tinkering), but get a (used) Maxwell or Kepler GPU.

For 1080p Gaming purposes the RX470 can max out any game (AAA) that you throw at it. No need to spend more for the RX480 if you game at 1080p. I've also read recently that AMD will be lowering the price on these soon. Best choice will likely be the Sapphire branded version.

Thank you both for providing me with this information.

I can wait for a couple of months, I hope by then the drivers issue will be fixed.
