This topic was discussed alot before , the 4gb cards will be sufficient for not a long time also the resell will be low, if you are building now go for the best resell gpus which are in my opinion the 8gb , 470 is doing good ,
but you may wait for the 570 for best resell it will be out to the markets in couple of days or so , there is ppl already get it .

Thanks for the useful info about the 570 which will be released indeed one of these days. I think I won't wait for them, they'll probably be more expensive and there does not seem to have changed a lot that would give a spectacular performance gain.

I know this may sound off the wall.
but go with the nvidia 1070, 1080 or 1080 ti and mine ZEC coin.
I would even say if they are too pricey get a nvidia 1060 with 6gb ram
this is decent for a low end nvidia

this is the next jump up the 1070

mine zec with them.

Thanks for pointing me out these cards. I checked the prices but they are all more expensive (except the 1060 6GB ). To be honest, through what I've been reading about mining, it appeared to me that people were always advising AMD cards to go for if you wanted to mine... For now, I think my preference would be to go for the RX470 8GB.
