What monitor do you have?
I'll assume it's 1080p. When you can get 8gb more RAM. The motheboard is crossfire capable. So in the future you can add another RX 480.

No crossfire support with a 400W PSU. He'd need to upgrade to something with at least 620W or so for XFIre RX 480's. No SSD? Also, reference cooled 480? They're notoriously bad.

I personally wouldn't get a Gigabyte 480, I'd spend a little more for this;

If you already have an SSD with at least 240GB, you could get the 2TB HDD for £35 instead of the 275GB MX300. If you get the HDD instead of the SSD, you can maybe get an 8GB RX 480 instead of 4GB;
