I too am considering the RX 480 8GB in CF so 2 cards & this is definitely in my budget of 700 for both. I also would like input on who makes it. I have 2 MSI HD 7950's & they work great & was looking at the XFX or Sapphire cards.
Only problem is they are out of stock everywhere

Evga GTX 1070 FTW is what I have and its a great card but if your using a 1080p monitor then its overkill

Yes, they are starting to trickle out & I am still saving some money for it, I am in no hurry.

If you want to have decent frames like at least 60FPS with 1080P I suggest you wait a bit and save up at least another $100 dollars but I'd recommend $200 more to your $150. You'll get a video card with $350 that'll last you a lot longer than buying a 460 (Which is terrible for the price IMHO) and say something like a 480, 970 or better yet 1060 4GB/1070 will last you years and If you really want to play the newest titles when they come out you have to get a card with more power anything less will be wasting money. I suggest watching these videos

Of course all my opinions are based on you not wanting to buy used. If you want to buy used the best you'll get for your canadian bucks is probably a gtx 770 for $150 going by ebay prices not CL.
