I'm thinking of buying a graphics card.And i would like to buy rx 480 but now i have some questions there is a RX 480 Sapphire NITRO + 4gb and Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 256bit

I would like to use it for gaming are there any major differences between the 4gb one and 8gb one,on the picture 8gb one has only one fan so i'm quite a newbe when it comes to pc graphics etc.So if anyone can tell me if it is better to get the 4gb one with 2 fans or is the 8gb one okay?

are you buying used? if you are go for the 8gb version, since many games use more than 4gb vram in 2020. 

if you are buying new consider rx 580 8gb. it is much better

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I think you should go with 8gb rx480 

Ya It has only 1 fan but it is blower style cooler and not exhaust type I think

I would not go for a blower style card in 2020. Are you buying "used" or "new"? I'd suggest you to buy the RX580 8GB, since 4GB VRAM is not enough in 2020. You should look for the RX580 Sapphire Pulse or the RX580 Sapphire Nitro+.
