The short(ish) and general answer is that with the current drivers the RX 480 may put motherboards at risk, especially cheaper ones, so it's better to wait for partner cards to arrive on the market. You'll likely see cards with 8 pin power connectors, more efficient cooling and higher clocks. They may cost a bit more than the reference card, but the improvements should (IMO) be worth it.
