$200 for a 1070 seems too cheap. If it's legit buy as many as you can!

thank you for answering, there is only one of 1070, so i will have 800$ more..

how about rx570 for 350$, anything better in the list ?

i would not bother getting any HD5XXX or HD6XXX series.
i have few 7970 i still mine on, but its ZEC... which is not bad but soon they also could head to retirement - not for $150+
it is important to mention how vram they have... but i bet not more that 3gb...i have tried rx580 it did almost exatly like mine 7970OC versions... which kind of unpleasantly surprised me.
1070 looks appealing and nvidia overall is probably a longer shot as it supports wider list of coins/protocols

p.s. 2x7970OC+1x7850 does about 8-10$ a day with current pricing

1070 all the way for 200 bucks,
The 580s are pretty expensive! Maybe R9 290 or R9 390? But it will have bad power consumption
