RX 580 for 4k?

Hi,
I like (indie)-gaming, and I am going to build a PC. I currently have a 24" 2009 iMac.

I have a question. I want to buy a RX 580 for a playable experience on a 4k monitor. What I consider playable is above 15 FPS. My library consists mostly out of indie games like: Stardew Valley, Starbound, Terraria, Halfway, Celeste, etc. I also own a few triple A's like: Star Wars Battlefront II, Lego Games, Portal 1 and 2, Sanctum 2. Those are the only triple A games I own. I would like to run all my games at highest graphical settings.

This will be my PC's specifications:
- Ryzen 5 @ 4.7
- 8 GB of Ram
- 500 Watt PSU
- 1 TB HD
- RX 580, 8 GB
- €120 Gaming MoBo

Is it possible?

Some of those higher end titles, no, you would best be running them at 1920x1080. They should still look okay on a 4K screen.

Your indie titles will be okay if they support that resolution.

There really isn't a good single GPU choice for 4K. Even the GTX1080Ti can't handle all titles at 4K at high settings.

I can't actually tell if the monitor I want is 4k or not, it is a 32" AOC monitor for 200 euros.

What is the model? AOC makes several 32" panels at various resolutions.

By the price I would guess 1920x1080, which would be quite awful on such a large panel. 2560x1440 would be the minimum reasonable for a 32" display.

Same applies. The RX580 might struggle a little in some titles at 2560x1440 but you could probably stay above 15FPS. Not sure why you would do that in Battlefront though.

If 200 is your budget for a panel. I suggest looking at some higher quality 1920x1080 displays. Go for a 75hz+ freesync panel. That would pair nicely with an RX580.

I was thinking about getting a curves 1080p monitor. I saw a few on Google that I liked most of which werr freesync and less than 250 euros.
