Eventually you will want a SSD. It just makes boot times/loading times so much better. Thankfully hd speed doesn't play a role in online games.

You need windows 10 as Direct X 12 is a W10 exclusive and games are starting to support it.

You're going to need to seriously hunt down an RX 480. They're semi hard to find, and when they're out they sell pretty quickly. Https://nowinstock.net is pretty good at helping you find it.
