New Birthday Build (£500-£600)

Will2418

Right so im planning to build a gaming pc to upgrade from my laptop. My budget is £500-£600(UK Pound Sterling) i just want some advice and a push into the right direction I Will Be Ordering Everything Next Month. This is the build i came up with 
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6W3mRG 
and this is my first build and im very excited, i want to be able to play GTA V on High Graphic setting and a smooth fps without buying a stupidly expensive GPU and i did some research and i found the RX 470 and RX 480 (i Want The RX 480) and i love them but since im new to the scene of building PC's i just wanted to know what you guys recommend i see alot of GTX 1060 6GB Vs RX 480 8GB videos. So which GPU Would be best for me im willing to put £200 aside for the GPU. I will be using this Rig to game mainly (Using laptop for School) If you think im doing this completely wrong please tell me. I am only 15 And Im Very Excited And Im Trying To Reasonable With My Money On This Build Thanks For Reading -Will 


What I Want


-High Settings (1080p) With Stable FPS On GTA V 

-2 Monitors, Right Now Ill Be Using 2 Dell E176FP Until I upgrade later in the year

-A Nice Looking Case And LED Lighting   

-A Good GPU £200 Budget 

-Red And Black (If Possible) Because My Set Up Is Red And Black Based



EDIT: If Anyone Wants To Know My Laptop It Was A Hand Down Hardly Used: TOSHIBA Satellite L50-C-1GX 15.6";

-You don't need DDR4-2800 (and honestly, you wont notice the difference)

-The case is of higher quality

-Changed the PSU as you only need a 350W PSU at max, but 450W is nice to have.

Looks Very Nice indeed Thanks For Responding also what would be the better choice RX 480 8gb or GTX 1060 6GB?

I'd say the RX 480 8GB as it has more VRAM as well as the fact that it's either matching or surpassing the 1060 in most games, whilst being cheaper.

better 480 and better PSU https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6W3mRG

I'd also personally get a better case but it doesn't really matter at all

Quite a few games actually, especially with lower end CPUs skylake and kabylake do notice a difference with faster RAM. I personally gained quite a few FPS with my i3-6100 when I OC'd my RAM to 3000Mhz.

Though you're right, he can just OC the RAM. Most RAM can hit 2800-3000 before the quality of the RAM comes into play.

I mean... in reality, what's the cheapest Ryzen chip? I don't think it is £56

True, I Think Im Going to stay with the G4560 for £60 3.5ghz and Hyperthreading im happy with it! in my opinion it seems like the best budget CPU to buy

Pentium G4560 is only every so slightly behind an i3-6100 at pretty much half the price...

I built my daughters for her at 10, but it wasn't as good as this, just an AMD 7870k, 16gb ram, basic board, AIO and small SSD and HDD, originally for Minecraft as she trashed my old laptop (hence why shes not allowed to touch my PC or MacBook Pro!)

 

anyway, I switched a few things for you, better PSU, 8gb 480, 1 stick of faster ram allowing you to upgrade to 16gb later (faster ram also affects fps on lower end chips by around 5- 10 %)
