Hello. This is my first post on Tom's Hardware so... How ya doin?
Ok... So since the RX 480 was announced I was hyped, and I still am, but the majority of people say that it is not worth it, that it does not even beat a GTX 970, but from what I have seen in the most benchmarks, it is slightly better than a 970. I'm planning on buying a gaming PC in the near future ( the sooner the happier I am ), I hope I will finnaly get rid of this piece of turd I own right now. My question for you guys: Is the AMD RX 480 worth for 1080p or maybe even 1440p gaming? I would most likely play games like GTA 5, Hitman, Far Cry (from 3 to Primal), Call of Duty Franchise etc. Here are the parts I would like to buy along with the 480 : http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Valex16/saved
Hopefully it will show the parts, if not:
i5 6600 non k
16 gigs of RAM
msi b150m mortar mobo
seasonic sII 520 watt
Seagate hybrid SSHD 1TB
Deepcool Kendoman case
Deepcool gammaxx 300 cpu cooler
That's pretty much it.
Hopefully you guys will help me out, because from where I live, in Romania, everybody thinks is an expert and have different opinions and I am really confused if I should buy this card or not.
