Coldish for me, barely under the launch price from the summer of the non-pre-OC'd cards and with a 10 month old game thrown in that most people who care will be playing already. And the rumour mill has the RX 580 landing on 4th April, likey as a higher-clocked rebrand of the 480, likely to be available under £200 too.

You can blame Brexit for that, the pound has tanked since the the launch of the 480 (It was around £220 at launch) and if the £ was still as strong these cards would likely be £20 less, maybe even more, but unless the £ recovers expect prices to go up.
While the rumours do suggest that the 580 will be clocked higher, according to leaks it will only be 15Mhz higher than the Asus card listed here. I don't expect the price point will be much difference, it's unlikely it will be below £200 for the 8GB model, but you never know.
It might be an idea to wait, as we'll likely see more price cuts as the 580 launch gets closer.

Yes, DOOM is fun too, if that's your bag.

the 580 bringing little improvemnt makes little sense to me, considering Vega should be coming out right after it, it just seems like a stupid idea.

Be warned - other sites delivering these cards have had batches of faulty stock. But very hot price.
