You don't mention any PSU.

CoolerMaster B500ver2 80 Plus, its in his hover over info but that should really be posted.

If it is powering a GTX 960 it will power a RX 480.

And where is the PSU info ?

Edit: be carefull with the PCIe issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4qfwd4/rx480_fails_pcie_specification/

I wouldn't buy the reference model.

Im such an idiot its the coolermaster b500 ver2 sorry guys i feel like a dumb@$$

Considering how poor the original one was I wouldn't expect much of the V2.

i was running same system with a 960 Overclocked with increased voltage up to 1602 mhz on core 24/7 no problems but i need an upgrade i just want it to run it i will change the psu somewhere in the future but for now can it handle a single rx 480? or even rx 470 when it releases?

It'll probably work perfectly fine, certainly it should. But a poor PSU can decrease the life expectancy of the rest of your hardware, which is why I always recommend a high quality one. I found a review of the B600 V2 on Tweakers.net, but we don't have one on the B500 V2 which could be an entirely different platform. With that, they use bottom-rung capacitors, so when those you would hope that a PSU protection would kick in from poorer transient response performance, but there is a chance the ripple will just slowly degrade your hardware or if it gets bad enough damage it.

This is Guru3D's generic power supply recommendation for the series:

AMD Radeon RX 480 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

The RS-500-ACAB-B1 (ver. 2) was made by CWT but has not been reviewed any place that i could find.
