Pc build i5 6600k rx 480

Here is my PC build on pcpartpicker.com,

NOTE: I PLAN ON WAITING FOR THE AFTERMARKET RX 480S BEFORE GETTING THEM, SO THE ONE LISTED IS A PLACEHOLDER!

My budget for the PC on its on is €1000+, I am willing to go over budget, but I wish not to spend too much money on the build.
My location is Ireland.

I plan to use my PC for gaming, for all kinds of games, including high end AAA titles such as GTA V.
I want to buy two monitors, one for gaming, and another cheap monitor for extra use such as browser or multitasking.

I have a mouse, mouse mat, keyboard, and headset all bought already, feel free to suggest any other peripherals I should buy.
This is my first PC build, I have used a laptop for many years, and wish to get a PC for gaming.

Change the PSU to a G2/GS/GQ and you'll be golden

Your build is really good, I did some reallocation for to make it look good, it is based on black/red colour theme . It has same CPU,GPU and SSD. For RAM i am going 2x 8Gb 2666 instead of 1X 8Gb 2133 MHz because 2X 8GB is in your budget, although 8 Gb is enough.

If you are ready to drop down O.C feature, than you will be able to grab your hand on a GTX 1070. GTX 1070 is a huge upgrade over a RX 480 because RX 480 perform similar to GTX 970 and GTX 1070 performs similar to GTX 980Ti
