Based on prices in your country I would go for RX 470. Difference between RX 470 and RX 480 (both 4gb) is minimal and not worth extra 50$. Now that is for ETH, Nvidia cards are better at mining Zcash but as you can see much more expensive and they are really better at that single one algorithm so I would avoid them.

Thank you! I get new price:
PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 -> $320
Same price for Asus 1060 6GB -> $320
PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 470 4GB GDDR5 -> $240

Best choice for Rx 470 Huh
Thank again!
What you don't take into account is power consumption. RX 470 is much more power efficient than RX 480. Of course 1060 have best power efficiency but also lowest performance out of three (not taking Zcash into account)

Thanks, can i use PSU: RAIDMAX 1200W RX-1200AE-B? or use  ANDYSON R1200 1200W?
Raidmax: $158
Andyson: $200

Well if you must chose between that two, Andyson got Platinum certification and Raidmax got Gold. But just as BenCodie mentioned, you should really try to find Corsair or EVGA power supplies as they are one of the best in the market
