Rogue Leader it took you 5 minutes because you cherry picked and I did scour for lowest price & performance on parts. I have considered my audience , you are nothing special because you have a moderator tag but you seem to think so. For someone with no credentials and no facts presented...

Building a budget $500 pc does not allow you to have a 8 GB RX 480 ---> It's a 4GB RX 480 dude. And in this day and age games are more and more resource hogs. Picking and choosing your parts wisely. The way you talk and according to your logic Arma 3 is the only game thats poorly optimized...

You may have your opinion , but to fear monger is laughable. Once again this is a budget build and the PSU is adequate so much that there will not be any...

Uh yea ok. I was hoping to get some feedback to someone who knows what they are talking about. My build will destroy your build as far as price/performance , not sure what kool aide you're drinking but stay away from it. That power supply is good and it has a single rail @ 34 amps as the RX...
