PowerColor rx480 reference when compared to other brands of the same specs (xfx,msi,gigabyte,asus,sapphire)? there may be advantages and disadvantages? because price difference about 20-40$ ..

My PC:
CPU AMD FX 8350
MSI Motherboard 970 Gaming
PowerColor VGA rx480 reference 8gb
Team Dark RAM DDR3 2133MHz Dual Channel 16gb (2x8gb)
Power Supply Thermaltake Lite Power - 650W
3.5 Inch hard drive 2TB Seagate SSHD

whether this build bottlenecks or what? and need some suggestions. This PC specifically for gaming maximum setting / ultra / very high. Doom,BF1,COD AW,ROTTR,witcher 3,GTA V..

Your Computer Will Be Free Of Bottle Neck . However I Would Not Recommend Buying From Power Cooler If You Can Buy A Good Tier Brand Like Sapphire, Gigabyte or Asus. However Reference Cards Do Run Hot. Whats Your Current GPU?

I would highly advise not getting a reference design RX 480, they run much hotter than any board partner card and are louder and can thermal throttle which results inconsistent clocks. If your on a budget, I'd advise getting the cheapest board partner card you can get, it will still be better then reference

I'm going to buy my GPU this weekend. so i'm looking for the best choice. Maybe i'll buy sapphire rx 480 reference. i will add 4 additional case fan from xigmatek 120mm to reduce the temperature. what's your opinion sir? or should i get the custom version like sapphire rx 480 nitro OC, asus strix rx 480, powercolor redevil rx 480, msi rx 480 gamingX?

Any custom board partner version of the RX 480 is better than the reference one. Lower temps and higher clocks
