I would wait a while and get one of the custom rx 480's, but it's up to you

[AntZz3011]

Yes I plan on doing that, I just put a reference one in there for.. well just for reference lol. I do plan on getting a non reference (possibly Asus/Msi) card.

wait for the custom rx 480's and get the 8gb one, otherwise nice build

[AntZz3011]

The 8GB is very appealing but, I don't know if I will be able to fork out another £20-£40. I would like it though.

You can dry dropping the cpu cooler and get it later since you cant oc (not sure on intel) and maybe consider little bit cheaper case

Dump the tx3 to get a better psu, that one isn't very good for a gaming pc. Xfx ts 430/550w would do better.

He means get psu with better build quality. its not a must since ive used one cheap psu for 2,5 years. I would rather get the 8gb vram card to get little bit of future proof

[AntZz3011]

Well i picked that PSU in particular because it's been told to me by many people that it's a really good PSU for its price. In terms of future proofing, I can understand that but for someone like me who sticks to only a few titles, I felt that 4GB was enough. Please correct me if I'm wrong. and also I believe that the i5 processors do not come with stock coolers hence why i went with the tx3.

Only the 'k' versions don't come with a cooler. The i5 6500 has a stock intel cooler.
