I think everything should be fine, but I want to confirm as this is my first build. And btw the rx 480 is a 4gb, but it wasn't listed on pcpartpicker. For 1080p 60 hz gaming , I bought the Asus ve247h, and I'm wondering if it will be fine. Will it screen tear alot?

Thank you!

It's a good, solid build.

Screen tearing will depend on the game and how well the computer handles it. The more FPS the game gets the more screen tearing you'll get (but that's what Vsync is for).

I don't like V-Sync due to the lag but you can cap your fps at 60 using MSI Afterburner. It doesn't eliminate screen tearing completely although very nearly but there is no lag.

Yeah I will try that when I build and see how it goes. I think there are also ways for specific games I can do some fancy tricks and limit screen tearing. But thanks!
