Yeah I don't know about the 480 at the moment, I've heard it draws too much power and has problems. I think for now I want to get something cheap that'll be better than my gt 430 until I can afford a $200+ card

Power from the motherboard? Anyways I just saw a video, the card draws like 130-150 watts. Not that bad.

I typed too fast, but I'm just gonna wait for now. I'm sure a lot of prices will drop soon because of these cards

Might consider a used GTX 760 2gb or 4gb on the feebay; maybe a cool overclocked one by MSI, EVGA, Asus, etc. It would be about the same price as that SAPPHIRE R7 370 4gb and likely out perform it. If you're using 1080p resolution you can get by with 2gb of vram. Just know that if you go with 2gb, you're probably not going to be running "very high" or "ultra" textures in new games. But that's fine, new games still look great on medium-high textures.
