your PC is fine for the next few years at medium-high 1080p, there's a gtx 670 2gb on lazada for $200, i can recommend that instead. if you're fine with used, carousell has an r9 290 msi gaming for $200 and a 290x with an arctic acclero heatsink for $230, will be good for ultra for 3 years or so.

So the CPU should support that change, but this isn't going to be a pc that will last a few years of gaming. With that setup you can play most of the titles people play the most right now (LOL, WOW, DOTA 2, OVERWATCH, BATTLFIELD, CSGO, etc), but already the CPU and RAM are going to create bottlenecks. So if you do get that gpu, plan on swapping out to higher RAM and a better CPU, then also getting a a new GPU within 1 year in order to not have performance drag.

8gb of ram will not bottleneck his pc, only a handful of games need more than that. the i5 is still good enough to stand up to an rx 470/480, i should know since my i7 860 isn't bottlenecking my 390.

I meant as far as for the next few years? 4gb and and that CPU aren't going to scale well.

8GB of RAM will "already create bottlenecks?" Tell me more, senpai

It won't BOTTLENECK for sure, but if you have some Chrome tabs opened up while playing a RAM intensive game, you can easily flirt with 8GB or even get beyond that threshold. Always nice to get those 16GB is the budget allows it

if you check, he said 2x4gb. do some math and its 8gb of ram. enough for now. and the i5 won't bottleneck.

A 670 is a terrible card to buy right now. It doesn't perform better than an RX480, which costs less, uses less power, and is new... no point buying a used 4+ year old card.

Best to avoid that 290/x with your PSU.

Your right I re-read that 8gb is fine.

if you had actually bothered to check, this was in SINGAPOREAN currency, not im USD. rx 480s here cost $390 at the minimum. the 670 here is the same price as the rx 460/gtx 950 and its a new card with 3 years warranty.
