How would this PC perform on today's AAA titles at 1080p? Will the i3 bottleneck the 480? Is the 480 4GB good enough for current games and future games? Should I upgrade to the 8GB version? Could I overclock the 480 with this 500W PSU? How loud is intel's stock cooler? Is the stock cooler good enough? Are all of these parts compatible?
This is my first build and I'm planning on gaming at 1080p. This would be a $550-ish build without the peripherals. I also plan on waiting for RX 480s with better aftermarket coolers. I just need any other opinions or concerns about this build.
