Budget Gaming / Multi-tasking Build

[Jownjown]

Hi, Newbie here.

I finally finished my Budget Multi-tasking / Gaming build. Any comments or suggestions how to improve it? or any opinions? or Incompatibility Issues I missed? Thanks!

Total Cost: 30,920php = $669.26

I think the graphics card is a bit low for a build with that i5

[Bl00dgod]

yout total budget is around 670$ ?

[Samsterstorm]

I am sure someone of this forum will suggest a much much better build for around the $600-$700 range, you can get a pretty good system for that much money I would change that 750ti for a 950 minimum and then add an SSD as they are essential now a days makes a massive difference

Don't worry, I'll upgrade it in the future. I just really need a computer right now.

Yep. Also depends on the prices here in the Philippines.

I'm not a fan of AMD. But I'll do some research.

Its a good value cpu for $100, even though its older. Better for you to have a strong graphics card rather than a strong cpu, and the 390 will run circles arounf the 750ti

[Jownjown]

I computed it all, It costs waaaaaay more here than in the U.S. It went about 38k php = $822.51 which exceeded my budget. Any more build suggestions?

People thinking that prices in the Phillipines equal to prices in the US and recommending builds with R9 390s paired with CPUs from a dead socket because somehow 'moar GPU = better gaming'. Not to mention the CPU overhead and how an i5 would be a much better choice due to its stronger cores. USE SOME COMMON SENSE.

 

@Jownjown, the build generally looks good. Any chance you could drop the i5 to an i3 and grab a GTX 950 instead? Also, since Skylake's prices are so close to that of Haswell's, I'd go for a i3 6100 paired with DDR4 RAM.

Chill out man. Would this do the trick? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CQ2kkL

Also, any CPU Aircooler suggestion?

Sorry dude. Just frustrates me to see that while it's blatantly obvious that USD prices are not universal, people think it is.

 

Skip the air cooler and just use the Intel stock cooler to save some cash. The build looks good. Is it possible to keep the SeaSonic S12II 520 instead of the CX500?

Hey, none of us know what the pricing is in the phllipines, you don't have to be an asshole about it.

Everything fits perfectly in the budget. Thank you and all of the other members who helped me. I appreciate it. Very Happy to join the PC MASTER RACE!

It's common sense. Use it.

 

If OP's build is $450 in PCPartPicker and he says it equates to $670 in the Phillipines, you'd already know that the prices in the Phillipines is widely different to the US. Don't go off and build something that he can't afford.

$450? Do you see that the gtx 750ti he listed doesn't have a price? Fine, i made an error in judgement, but that doesn't mean you should just completely slam us for it.

Fine. Then let's say $550.

 

I'll happily admit that I'm overreacting but nobody here has even addressed the fact that USD prices are not universal. It's not just you and it's frustrating.

I think the reason that we aren't using their local currencies is because we dont have much data on which local websites to use, and because most of us aren't from these countries in the first place. All we can do is to use what we already have and go from there. 

Jown, what are the websites/store pricelists phillipines locals usually use? Maybe we can use those to help you better.

Well I've got another problem. I think that the i5-4460 build is better for Multi-tasking but not for Gaming. But That i3-6100 build is better than gaming but not for Multi-tasking, since it only has 2 cores.. Can Anyone justify that?
