Pricing in the Philippines is a beast all its own, a friend of mine was telling me about the huge import taxes on electronics, like 50%. Also, last I recall the i7 7700k was somehow a reasonable price compared to something like the i5 8600k which would make for quite the 144 fps gaming PC.

 

for your budget, what are the prices available to you for:

i5 8600k

i7 7700k

Ryzen 5 3600

 

and motherboards to go with them:

Z370

Z270/170

B450

 

I think graphics cards make a little more sense, with availability of RX 580 and GTX 1060 6GB models being decent, though I wonder what new releases look like over there. How much would an RTX 2060 or RX 5700 run you?

[5x5]

R5 3600, GTX 1660 Ti and the cheapest 144Hz IPS display you can find should fit in the budget

Prices of PC parts are way off in Philippines. No point in making a random list. You'll have to link the parts in the online stores that are available in Philippines.

the i5 8600k the lowest I see is 10000($190.84)

i7 7700k is 9999($190.83)

and Ryzen 5 3600 is 10900($207.98)

 

an RTX 2060 would be $276.67 and RX 5700 is 360.62

 

I can also order in US and just ship it with a freight services I know that offers it to save money.

Thank you for this but do you think we could downgrade the monitor to atleast 24 inches and up my video card?

If you can find the a cheaper 144Hz IPS display then yes but this is the absolute minimum I could find.

That makes the 8600K the best buy, unless Z170 and Z270 boards are super cheap. There's also the i7 8700 if you could potentially get a good deal and then you could get a cheaper B360 motherboard. Slap some DDR4 3000 in there and it would go really well.

The rtx 2060 would be my choice then.

 

So what about PSU and SSD prices?

Well that's not much higher than USD pricing actually. What are some of the other units at that price range you've seen?

I use the forum's tier list for my basis of comparison

tier B for the budget oriented is a good call
