Hi I'm new here saw the forum while I was browsing at youtube for tips and see if I could get some advice on my very first attempt to getting my very own custom build pc.

 

1. Just aiming to have Gaming PC that I can play my favorite games that I can no longer play on my OLD pre-made PC.

2. Budget would be around $500 I think (I am from the Philippines so that is around 25K in our currency)

3. I don't plan on doing overclocking (yet), and this build is hoping that I could do upgrades in the future too.

4. This is my first time and I did try my best checking "some" guides on youtube and reading the product manuals online.

 

System Unit only:

 

Proc: Intel G3220
Motherboard: H81M-E
Video Card: GT 630 (2GB, 128bit)
RAM: 4GB(2x2) (DDR3, 1600 MHz)
PSU: 550W
Casing: N200

 

Hope I could get some suggestions or if this is a good build to start with and just start doing upgrades in the future.

 

btw, games I play often before that I can no longer play or games I would like to play but can't.

that is not very good for that budget do this http://pcpartpicker.com/user/nixproducer/saved/35he and you can add a better gpu later and you can still get the N200 if you want

Do you need an operating system? This is a better build but doesn't have one.

dude seriously you can't even play some of the newest games with that setup. =(

 

all I can say is just try to get the following. Believe me your gonna be ok with it, and you can play game in 1080p with med-high settings with decent framerates. . 

 

Intel Core i3 4130

Nvidia GTX 750TI , EVGA,MSI,GIGABYTE,or ASUS. . .or  maybe GTX 650TI Boost. . .

Corsair CX 600M for future purposes. .

with an 8GB of 1600MHz of RAM your gonna be in the sweet spot. . .
