Here is my build, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/BlessedNoob/saved/ the gpu is only there to fill the spot. I plan on getting the RX 480 4GB. I want to know if this build is good for a few years and can run popular games at 1080p or 1440p with high or max settings. Thanks everyone

Lots of things need changed.

1) I5-4690K is already 2 generations old, quite soon to be 3 generations old. It's recommended to get modern day hardware instead, so an I5-6600K (or even an I5-6500 is perfectly fine).
2) With that the motherboard and RAM need changed for compatibility. If getting the I5-6600K, get a Z170 motherboard. If getting the I5-6500, get an H110 or H170 motherboard. The I5-6500 should save you a good deal of money without hurting your performance, so it could save you money. The RAM need sto be DDR4 memory. Just get 2x8GB, don't buy sticks in separate packs, there is no guarantee they will work.
3) I'd recommend a different PSU such as the Seasonic G Series 550W, Corsair RM550x, or EVGA 550 G2. The NEX 750B has never been reviewed by a professional, so it's assumed to be poor since the next-step-up, thew NEX G series, is not too good. So get a better PSU.
4) The extra fans are probably unnecessary. They also state they have a "hydraulic bearing" which is usually fancy codename for a sleeve bearing, to my knowledge. If you plan to mount these fans flat, I'd recommend getting ball bearing fans to reduce noise and vibration.
5) get a larger SSD like the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
6) Windows 10? Not sure why you'd get 8. Don't listen to all the "Windows 10 sucks" stuff.

here is a new build that someone made for me with the i5-6600k http://pcpartpicker.com/user/BlessedNoob/saved/#view=jtQ8TW
I'll go Win 10 then, i had the Evga Supernove G2 750w 80+ Gold Fully Modular PSU. I changed the fans. The Samsung EVO 250gb is a bit much for me as well

That is much better but the fans are sleeve bearing. Believe me, if you mount them flat they will vibrate and cause lots of issues. They also won't last as long as rifle bearing or ball bearing. LED fans usually come at the cost of having a sleeve bearing, so either pay a solid $20+ for each fan or forget them altogether. Change that PSU to the 550 G2 instead of the 650 G2 and all is good then.

No need to. Two RX 480 is 300W. The I5-6600K with an overclock, about 100W. The rest of the system ~50W. With crossfire RX 480, you are looking at 450W under full throttle stress. Gaming load would be more like 375W. Even if you overclock the RX 480, that brings power requirements up to about 500W under full throttle, and gaming load is always much less.

That would make the 650 G2 the sweet spot for efficiency over the 750 G2. But the 550 G2 would be perfectly fine and save you money.
