The biggest problem is finding an RX 480 or GTX 1060 in-stock at anything resembling that price.

^Not to mention that that is a reference RX 480. not sure if that's a good purchase given the relatively noisy cooling. I'd rather have a GTX 970 with proper cooling.

Not sure if 430W is enough for the RX480.
Also a AMD custom 480 is way better:

Get a B150 board at minimum if you're gaming.

Not sure if 430W is enough for the RX480.

Should be. Pretty much the same power use numbers as a 970, and I'm running one of those w/ a 450w PSU. Total system power use is ~250w when gaming.
