    A 480 won't be able for 4k tbh for good 1440/4k I'd be looking at 1070/1080

    Sorry completely misread as to you wanting to play 1440/4k!
    A 480 should be perfect for 1080p gaming, I really don't know the differences between the 4gig and 8gig models though, the gtx 1060 might be worth looking at as well, supposedly a very power efficient card

    I agree, for 1080p gaming, the 4GB RX480 is fairly bulletproof and comes in at around €200 for basic but decent models.
