First Build

[MxMieL]

1. Budget & Location

I'd like to spend a maximum of $1000(45000PHP) or lower budget. I did my research about hardware and stuff but still confused which will I buy.. By the way I'm from the Philippines... Thanks In Advance.

 

2. Aim

I'd like to play games like Battlefield 4,COD Ghost, and Crysis 3, and do some 3D Work for school stuff... 

 

3. Monitors

I've got a monitor somewhere.. So I won't be buying some for the mean time.    I'm planning to have 3 monitors with 1080p res. in each? Is this correct? 

4. Peripherals

I'm planning to buy the Corsair M65, I'll be waiting for the Corsair RGB Keyboard . ( Because It Looks so BEAUTIFUL)  Any suggestion for a great gaming headset?

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I'm not upgrading... My laptop is about 4-5 years old..  :unsure:

Thanks! I would probably go with a Seasonic X PSU and a different RAM module, those 2 doesn't exist here..

Yes. Almost forgot that... 

I'm gonna buy all parts in the Philippines. International shipping will cost me more...

Do you have any web sites with local availability and pricing?

Do you have any web sites with local availability and pricing?

Yes. I do have some sites and the price is good...

Links so we can see the pricing you are working with. Pricing does vary around the world as does availability. It doesn't make sense for someone to suggest something you can't get or which is much more expensive in the Philippines.

Perhaps something like this will do.

Thanks... By the way.. Is overclocking worth it?

[brob]

Thanks... By the way.. Is overclocking worth it?

 

What @tothelk said. If one looks on it as a hobby then I think yes.  Although you might get something out of the gpu. (By the way the cpu and motherboard in the system I posted earlier will not overclock. For that you would need a Z87 motherboard and K processor.)

Its a way to get anywhere from 10%-20% extra performance out of your cpu But you do have to spend extra on a cpu cooler to be able to do it. Realistically it is probably better to take the money you would spend on a cooler and put in into a more powerful cpu. It is just less problems to deal with if you don't fully know what you are doing. Also to make over clocking easier you would want a k series processor from intel (Something like the intel i5 4670k).

Oh.. Thanks ... Maybe in the future I'll consider overclocking..   How many watts will I probably need if I were to upgrade to 2 GPU's and some custom loop? Just like looks of a Custom Water Loop..  Might want it for a hobby....

[MxMieL]

My setup is as follows and i only use about 650watts max when everything is fully stressed out on my system. My 1200watt psu is extremely overkill as cpus and gpu seem to get more power efficient every year. With a custom loop i would go 850-1000 watts. I like to have a decent amount of head room on my power supplies.
