Hi! It's my first time to buy a gaming PC and I would just like to ask your opinion. Please check if this would be compatible with each other and if it would be worth it. I don't want to spend too much, this is what my friend suggested.

Im not very computer literate, please help me. haha. Thanks!

processor: i5 3470 = PHP7950 / $199
ram: 8GB Balistix sport = PHP2000 / $50
motherboard: Asus P8H77-M LE = PHP3950 / $99
video: PowerColor HD 7870 Myst Edition= PHP10500 / $263
Hdd: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM = PHP3150 / $79
Power Supply: FSP Epsilon Series 80PLUS SLI (800w) = PHP3850 / $97

Estimated price (PHP31400 or $785)

Why are there 2 lol? Anyway, nice build. Looks good and are compatible. What enermax unit is the power supply? Can you give us a link for the psu (and the RAM as well)?

EzioAs :

hahah! sorry. i change the psu to FSP Epsilon Series 80PLUS SLI (800w). Would that be good?

I'd say they are not good, there are better choices out there. You could power up your system with a good 550W psu too. Find some Seasonic, Corsair, XFX or Antec units. Most of them are very good

EzioAs :

But would the wattage be sufficient enough for the specs of the computer? My friend told me that I should at least have 700-800w PS. That's why I chose a hight wattage.

EzioAs · Mar 16, 2013

Nope, you most definitely don't need a 700-800W psu. You could run that system with a proper 550W psu. Even a high-end system with an HD7970 consumes less than 500W of power

I'll give you some links but I don't know whether you can find them in Philippine.

SeaSonic S12II 520
SeaSonic G 550
XFX Pro Series 550W
Antec High Current Gamer 620M
Corsair TX650 V2
SeaSonic S12II 620
XFX Core Edition 650

Other good units are Antec Neo or BP.

Look at reviews on FSP Epsilon units and you'll find out that they are not that good http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cases/display/atx-psu7_9.html#sect0
