i want to play old current and future games currently im building ive already got the motherboard hard drive and power supply and im also going for the xfx rx 480 so no bottlenecks or lag or should i get something budget higher without changing my motherboard also im going to get a 1080p monitor sometime next year

gigabyte ga h97m d3h
seagate 1tb hard drive
kingston hyperx fury black 16gb kit(2x8gb)(getting soon)
antec earthwatts 650w green 80+bronze

Solution
One of my alternate gaming systems is i5-4590 based with a Radeon R9 390 and it performs just fine at 1080p without issue. If you're going to stick with a single GPU setup, a 4590 should serve you just fine.
