Where to find Radeon Rx 480 8gb Video Card?

Trying to put together a parts list for a new computer build for music production and video editing. The latter is using Movie Studio Platinum. I mostly do home videos and videos for my band, all HD.

Scouring the forums, the consensus seems to be a Radeon RX480 8 GB card is the best choice, but it is out of stock at Amazon and NewEgg. Some used options listed, but most are around $600-700. I see some offerings in the $300 range, but sites are bogus. AMD site directs me to Superbiiz with prices of $229, but the link is apparently dead.

I know the Rx 580 is the new offering, but also have read issues with than one in the forums. Anyone know a good source for an RX 480, and what a reasonable price is?

A Google search shows a number of them selling for from $200-300.

That search shows no RX 480 cards at that price. There are RX 580 cards and RX 470 listed in that range. The first RX 480 shown is $1299 and only 4gb! So I actually know how to use Google.

Look at your search terms...you searched the RX 580, which is their newer gen card, but apparently has had issues with Sony Vegas according to the forums.

If I actually search Rx 480, I get a link to Consutronix which is dead. The only valid links I can find are in the $600-700 range. Best Buy It Now price on e-Bay is around $500.
