Hi there TOMSHARDWARE.
I am planning to build my very own "Gaming" pc..
I live in the Philippines and the parts I chose are bought locally on a store that ships locally. Here is the place where I got the parts I chose if it is of any help to you guys.

www.tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=cooltechpc


I wanted to get the opinion of the computer/build masters out there on my future build. Opinions like, if it will have conflicts or that I do not need a part. Or maybe something cheaper does the exact same thing... Maybe something along those lines. Thanks in advance.

My Budget limit is 50,000 PHP

(50,000.00 PHP = 1,211.00 USD)

I plan to use it for:
1. Gaming at 1366 x 768 Resolution (High settings to Ultra?)
(TV Monitor doesn't support 1080p at the moment. I may upgrade in the distant future)

2. Playing Playstation 2 emulator games

3. Watching HD brrip movies

4. Some Video/Photo Editing

5. Movie/Video Conversion (mkv to mp4, or any other format)

6. Storing Movies/Game Backups or copies

7. Changing files on a ps3 HDD (using hotswap bays)

8. Browsing the web and watching movies online

9. Overclock my i5 3570k to a safe 4.2Ghz?

Here are my Chosen Parts

Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40Ghz ivy bridge Core (Socket 1155)
PHP 9,850.00
9,850.00 PHP = 238.57 USD

7,600.00 PHP = 184.07 USD


CPU Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 412 Slim Universal CPU Cooler

(Can I cutback on other parts to upgrade this to a 660 ti or better?)
PHP 7,950.00
7,950.00 PHP = 192.55 USD


Power Supply: FSP AURUM CM 750W 80+ Gold Modular PSU (AU-750M)
(I seem to like this particular PSU compared to others)

Nice build but you might want to go for a better PSU (Antec, Corsair, Silverstone etc etc) Just for making sure your pc will last for a long time.

Thanks for your suggestion 05akari23... I have done some research and I found out that the current power supply I chose was very low end haha.
The replacement I found is Still an fsp brand but i has very good reviews and some say its better than a corsair hx series...

here's the new PSU : :)
FSP AURUM CM 750W 80+ Gold Modular PSU (AU-750M)

To be honest I would really still go for a better quality PSU, for peace of mind. you won't need anything close to 750w, you will need 500-600 maximum. Silverstone makes a 600w PSU called the silverstone 600w Plus or something for $120.

Yeah I know what you mean.. The shop in the link does not have that particular Power supply. XD the ones they have are way expensive for me XD
But I seem to prefer this particular PSU. hehe Wish me luck. :) Anyway, its way better than a generic one like the ones the computer stores here include in their pre built computers.. they use GENERIC 900W PSU's XD

By GENERIC I mean something worth 10, 15 maybe 20 USD... :)
