Got some R9 290 mining ETH at 29.7mh/s each with no electricity costs. Still profitable at all but only with no electricity costs. You can get those if you're lucky for 170$-190$.

of course it is nice with no electricity cost

Where do you get no electricity cost, at your moms house? At school? Everybody else pays for their electricity.

If power is a concern you can't beat the 1060 6gb, 23mhs@75w

Just don't buy 3gb cards as their days are numbered!

i love my rx470s, low power consumption and nice hash with bios mods Cheesy

are there better options?

You are lucky you can still find rx470 in your place, here in my country it is like searching for a needle in a hay stack.
I gave up searching for rx 470, yesterday i bought 2 units of Palit gtx 1070 dual fan both have micron memory chips.
Can easily reach 30 to 31 Mh/s with a temp. between 58 to 63 degrees celsius, i'm satisfied with the performance.

Well, sure the rx470 is a very nice graphicscard, although I would go for the rx480 if I were to buy AMD.

If the 290x cards wont cut it for you, you can get most bang for your bucks with the nvidia 1070 cards.

290/290x still the best cards considering the cost second hand on ebay and others.

Depending on what you mine and if you can get them.

If you mine ZCash i think the 1080 is the best way to go. If you want a long term solution the 1070 is your best pick.

As far as i know the MSI ones are perfect (like these https://cryptosupply.xyz/product/msi-geforce-gtx-1070-gaming-8g/ ).

I do have 12 GTX 1070's now and i'm happy with it since i can mine Zcash at 450 Sols and Ethereum at 31 so they both do great

1080TI is by far the BEST one, but might not be the most cost effective!

In order, and just now :
GTX 1050Ti 4 GB 1 fan (cheaper),
GTX 1070 8 GB 2 fans but only 1 6+2 pins (less power consumption in VGA BIOS settinfs),
... and soon : nVidia Volta (AMD VEGA is pure shit)

What is your choice, my friend :-).

I had to settle for the 1050ti. Couldn't find anything else or couldn't get more than one. Its not bad for the price if you can catch it on Amazon for 150. Im a slowly build a 2nd rig and deciding between 1070 and 1060 6gb as they become available.

I think the best one right now is the GTX1070. And this one will have a better resale value then a RX480/580 since it gives way better performance for gaming.
