Need help choosing a GPU

[Geo-Gamer]

I just finished building a gaming pc for my little brother and I decided to wait until the launch of the 480 before deciding. But if anything the launch has made it a tough choice.

He wants to play games on ultra at 1080p such as GTA 5, BF4 and the new Battlefield 1 when releseaed.

Question is, should i go for the 480 or buy a new 970 GTX for around £220?

Or am i better off getting that MSI 980 GTX deal on ocuk for £275 (but a part of me is saying I may be better off getting the 970 and overclocking it and saving me the £55?)

Sorry for the questions as iv done my reading and its just made it more confusing. Hopefully I can get some thoughts on the subject

Thanks everyone for the quick replies.

It seems that the 480 may be the best bet then and him wanting BF1 which utilizes DX12 is a no brainer and future titles.

I would honetly buy the 480 right this moment but hating those coolers! I might as well wait for the custom coolers as my brother is going on holiday for 3 weeks so he doesnt mind waiting.

Question is how long roughly for the new coolers and do they command a much higher price tag?

Thanks again

If the 1060 is released maybe wait for that?

Good shout out totally forgot about the 1060...but a bit worried about Nvidia's pricing lately to even begin thinking about waiting for a disappointment. But who knows im only speculating at this current moment in time xD

But question is will the 1060 really be that much of a performance jump from the 970? As I just found out that EVGA £20 cash back can get my brother a brand new 970 for £198 :O (Also doubt a 1060 will be around £200 anyway!)
