Is the rx480 8gb overkill? I can get it for around the same price as the 4gb rx480 and I'm wondering if the i3-7100 will bottleneck it or if they will run well together.

Budget build:

Intel Core i3-7100 3.9GHz Dual-Core Processor

MSI B250M GAMING PRO Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon RX 480 8GB.

Other stats aren't needed I assume (case, cooler, hardrive).
Complete build comes out to 730$ usd (including windows 10)

help is much appreciated

If it does, I doubt it would be very substantial. I've read that people with the 6100 (a similar CPU), usually have no problems with the 480. Since the 6100s can do it and the 7100 is better, I'm sure you wouldn't have any problems.
