Is this a balanced build for...

[Windows8RTMUser]

...Casual Gaming (GTA V, CS:GO, Gmod, etc.), Developing (C#),& Emulation?

 

(BTW Price is in Philippine Pesos and the most I want to spend is about $800US and i already have storage I also plan to overclock and upgrade since processors that use LGA1150 are VERY abundant)

 

Specs:

Define R5 = Php 6,800

Pentium Aniversary = Php 3,050

Asus Z87m plus = Php 3,750

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB = Php 2,800

Asus Strix GTX960 4GB = Php12,100

Fractal Design R3 550w (modular) = Php 3,000

go cheaper on the case and spend extra on cpu.

 

I know how limited you are to products in the Philippines, I know myself. I'm from there too.

 

But this is the best I could do, I do not know if you have access to these products.

I would get a cheaper case then use the money for a cheap H81 motherboard and an i5 4440 and might get an amd r9 280 or 280x if you can find one.

On the Pentium K you can.

Pentium K? Is that current or something?

G3258, the anniversary one, I call it Pentium K as it's less of a mouthfull and it's fully unlocked like a Core series K processor.

 

Seeing as how it's two cores run significantly cooler than something like a quad core, overclocking on the stock IS actually feasible, although aftermarket would still be ideal.
