Need Big Help For a $1115 Worth of A Gaming Build

Go to solution Solved by Dragonzeanse,

You could always use Logical Increments. They have a tiered PC parts list for the Philippines. It's a good guide to help you get started. Change the parts as you see fit. For the Arma games, you might favor an unlocked CPU and Z87 motherboard, so that you can overclock an i5-4670K later on to get better performance. Could be useful in the future, too.

 

I won't give you a PCPartPicker build because they don't have a Filipino variant yet. But some parts you might want to consider:

 

  • CPU: Intel i5-4670K (AMD FX-8350 would work if you overclock)
  • CPU Cooler: Pretty much anything except the stock cooler
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H or MSI Z87-G55
  • Video Card: GTX 770 or R9 280X; try to get EVGA, Asus, or MSI.
  • Storage: 240-256 GB SSD and 2 TB hard drive (Crucial M500 and WD Green are a good combo)
  • Power Supply: 600-750w, rated 80+ Bronze; try Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, Silverstone, or Antec.
  • Case: BitFenix Shinobi, Corsair 300R, or NZXT Tempest 410

Rest is up to you.

(and please pick for me here http://dynaquestpc.com/ i wont be able to buy anywhere else but in this shop since its the nearest in my hometown) and im not a fan of overclocking so i dont want overclocked stuff because i do long gaming sessions and sometimes forget to put it to the base clock and i break the stuff i overclocked.

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

for open world games like ARMA you really want a SSD for that game, since it will reduce pop ins and make LOD load faster :)   (atleast in general in those kinds of games)

The second get FX series are just a hair under the i series so once you OC then there's pretty much no difference.

Neither is "better," it just depends on which game is optimized for which platform. In many benchmarks, the R9 280X reigns superior, and in some, the GTX 770 is better. Just get whatever is available to you for a better price.
