I choose the first option. (RX 480)
Third option also not bad, but why reference card design?
The 3570K will not bottleneck unless you go for anything more powerful than the RX 480/GTX 1060, for example, GTX 1070
Even though there may have a bottleneck in heavy games, it will be minor bottleneck if you overclock the CPU.

Should be totally fine. I'd suggest getting an rx 470 4gb or just get an rx 480 8gb, especially since the cheapest 8gb is only $20 more than the cheapest 4gb (I think you can get an rx 480 8gb armor from MSI for $220). Depending on what resolution you plan on playing at in the future I'd go for either the rx 470 4gb or rx 480 8gb.

I'd recommend the first one, although it would be better if you could get an RX 480 with 8GB of VRAM. (but not needed whatsoever. 8GB is just a nice to have thing)

8gb will be better ?

Just for peace of mind. You can also get the 4GB one.

As a general rule, no it wont bottleneck. But this does not mean you wont EVER see a bottleneck with that CPU. I come from a 3570K @ 4.2Ghz + 970OC 1400Mhz which is similar to a 1060/480. Witcher 3, Crysis 3, Far Cry 4/primal, Wolfenstein, some parts of GTA 5, Dying light, Rise of the tomb raider, BF1 some maps and many other games did skyrocket my 3570 to 100% usage. So yeah, BN for you. But, it's still a nice CPU for gaming with a mid range GPU.
