The 980 is still more expensive though isn't it?

I've got a custom pc on order with no GPU (intended for work) so I'm looking at the 480 for it so I can play some games that will run better / won't be on ps4. I think I'll get it in a few months when I go on holiday to the US, get it nice and cheap :p

I wouldn't say more expensive, cheapest one currently going for £329 is vastly cheaper than it's £5-600 original price point.

Having to slap two 480's together to beat out a 980/ti doesn't really give off the ebst kind of deal, not when you're using up two slots instead of just one.

If you're looking for a cheap deal then by all means go for it, but don't expect it to be some monsterous titan that can take on most high end GPU's, the benches alone that are now out are saying that it's not all that it's cracked up to be. 

Sorry, I meant more expensive than the 480. No I wouldn't expect anything beasty, I just need 1080p and 60fps as that's the best my monitor can do, and my motherboard can't do SLI. I will probably get the 480 and then when it's run its course a few years down the line get the equivalent at the time
