[Apache Protocol]

Lol you should be fine.  The 480 can even handle a bit of 1440p if you turn down the settings.

 

Vega looks like a premium product, competitive with the Titan/1080/1080 ti

I was reading a tech insider article, according to it VEGA may have 16gb of HBM2 RAM that is on par with GDDR5X

You'll be fine then, though I may eat my words when the 580 comes out.  To be fair it's the same chip and you have a nice OEM cooler

Sounds beast, after that snag a VEGA GPU and you have what AMD fanboys have been dreaming about for years - a top tier full AMD build
