First off what's your CPU. If it's not powerful enough it bottlenecks the card and it won't perform as well as it should be and then it would end up being a waste of money.
Also you can use Speccy to check. https://www.piriform.com/speccy

i5 2.70 GHz

i5 2.70 GHz

What model is it tho?

[espio100]

I think its an i5-6400
Also get the 8Gb version. Can run higher textures, AA and some other stuff.

I want to get an 480 8Gb so I can render bigger scenes in blender because my current gpu only has 2Gb Vram. If only openCL was as fast as CUDA and if only the 1060 also had an 8Gb version...

please tell me youre joking
ot: get the 8GB version if you've got an i5, you might have a little bit of a bottleneck with your specific version due to it being 3 generations old and low clock speed, but for something like 1080p it should be pretty good.

1920x1080 is referred to as "1080p," so yes, it should be good, but you might wanna upgrade your processor down the line (if you can, S models are usually in OEM systems)

The MSI Gaming X variant is pretty good

the Sapphire Nitro has 2 HDMI ports which can be handy for VR

and the PowerColor Red Devil variant has 3 fans which is good for cooling, but the logos on the top are inverted and the quality just looks shoddy imo
