First gaming build

[S_lick]

Hi,

 

I've been working with my first pc build. I would like to seek some advice. My budget is more or less 800 USD (40K Php).

I am eyeing for the specs below. Any feedback regarding this build?

CPU INTEL® CORE™ I5-4590

CPU Cooler Deepcool GAMMAXX200

Motherboard ASROCK Z97 EXTREME 4

Memory GSKILL RIPJAWSX 8GB 1600MHz

HDD SEAGATE 1TB SATA 7200RPM SSHD ST1000DX001

Chasis RAIDMAX SUPER VIPER BLACK USB3.0

Video Card POWERCOLOR TURBO DUO R7 265 2GB DDR5 256BIT

Power Supply Thermaltake SE 530w

Fans Cooler Master SickleFlow R4 (x2)

Monitor Philips 200V4QSBR 19.5″ DVI WLED Monitor

 

Thanks!

Here's what I'd change:

Motherboard: http://pcx.com.ph/components/motherboard/intel-platform/asrock-h81m-vg4-motherboard.html

Power Supply: http://www.easypc.com.ph/index.php/site/prod_info/f.8c8a58fa97c205ff222de3685497742c

Video Card: http://pcx.com.ph/components/graphics-card/sapphire-tri-x-r9-280x-3gb-gddr5-oc-version-graphics-card.html (wont fit in case)

HDD: http://pcx.com.ph/components/internal-hdd/desktop-hdd/seagate-1tb-7200rpm-3-5-sata-st1000dm003.html

 

Should still fit the budget (comes to ₱38,348 ₱36,148). But performs much better.

I'd get a 4460 with either a B85 or H81 board, and then up the graphics card to something like a 380 if possible. and probably a better PSU, like this one: http://www.easypc.com.ph/index.php/site/prod_info/f.8c8a58fa97c205ff222de3685497742c

+1 for this.

4460>4690 in GAMING, isn't that much difference at all,...when your GPU-bound with a 265x

I'd grab a cheaper i5, and a better GPU.

Yes , I would get the 4460 and a better gpu , the gpu is pushing the fps in most of your games , keep that in mind

[SkilledRebuilds]

265x is 1080p Medium-High (Depending on games) and then with that, expect low-highs of 35-60+fps

 

If you can find a good deal on a R9-280 (or 2nd hand HD7950 @ $100-150, same BEAST card essentially with some improvements)

Then you'd be pushing High-Ultra with higher framerates.

Thanks for your responses!

1 thing to notice is that the board does not have a PCIe 3.0 slot in it. Im afraid it will not take fully advantage of the Vcard.

Overall, im good. Re-evaluating my options based on your feedbacks.

 

Too bad I already bought the VCard... but I can sell them anyway

Really?! well even top end GPUs can't fully utilise a PCIe 2.0 16x slot so you should be good either way.

Thanks for clearing that out. I also read articles regarding that while waiting for the reply.

Very much appreciate your response.
