Good day Sir/Madam.

I am currently building a multitasking rig for games and for work. As i am really on a tight budget so every payroll i have to buy separate items.

Moving on, here is my build, may i ask if this can run BF4 at MAX Settings and would there be no problems at all?

Processor- AM3 AMD Vishera FX-8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz 8-Core - PHP 7300.00
RETAIL: Dynaquest

Motherboard>> am3+ ASRock 970 Extreme3 - PHP 3950.00
Retail: Dynaquest

GPU: AMD R9 270x - Sapphire R9-270X Vapor-X OC 2GB DDR5 256bit Boost Full – PHP9900.00
Retail:Questlogic

RAM: Ram Gskill Ripjaws X 4GB 4gbx1 DDR3 1600 CL9 - PHP 1950.00
Retail: Dynaquest

PSU: Corsair CX Series CX600M 80Plus-Bronze APFC Modular Power Supply - PHP 3700.00
Retail: Dynaquest

Housing: Aerocool GT-R Black Gaming Case - PHP 3750.00
Retail: Dynaquest
Click to expand...

Prices are Philippine Peso

My reference for this items are from online shops:

Dynaquest Philippines

I have a question, there is a promo price for these items

CoolerMaster 620W 80+ Bronze Silent Pro M2 for - 2999.00 php would these be sufficient for my rig? also is this much more good than the Corsair?

Also, i myself am debating whether i would buy the

Corsair CX 750W Modular for 4400.00php
or
Hec Cougar 700W Cmx Modular for 4200.00php

Now on to GPU
There is also a promo price for these GPU's

Asus Directcu ii 1gb 7790 for - 5850.00 php
or
Asus GTX 650 TI - 5850.00 php

Reason i am considering these Promo Prices is because of my tight budget, currently the budget that was quoted above is around 30,000k that is 697.68 USD.

If these Promo items are good and i can still run BF3/4 or any other games at High/Ultra Settings without overusing the PSU it would be great for me as well and for my budget, if you guys can recommend cheaper mobos or anything else please do as i am planning on just having at least 25,000.00 php = 581 USD to spend on

Also, i have already bought the AMD 8320 so no need to tell me guys to take up Intel :)

thats a solid build. i would move up to a 280x though. with one of my 7970@stock with scaling at 120% in bf4 i was getting 40-50fps. you wont get ultra, verry close and maybe with no AA but if you want EVERYTHING balls to the wall. MSAA x 4, HBAO, ultra details, 100%+ scaling you gotta go big. thats how i run BF4 with scaling at 170% with avg 80fps and never below 60fps. the 8320 is a solid cpu. with intel you might get 1-3+fps in games with the right cpu

For the CPU, the FX-6300 would be sufficient if it saves you enough money to upgrade the GPU to an HD 7970 or R9-280X which should be possible since you're paying extra for the Vapor-X variant (which really isn't worth the money). An FX-6300 coupled with an HD 7970/R9-280X would give you a better gaming experience than an FX-8320 coupled with an HD 7870/R9-270X, and not even the Vapor-X can change that.

Well I live in the Philippines as well and check out Dynaquest often. Everything looks great. To save a few pesos you could go with a better case like the 200r or 300r

Better than that aerocool case you chose. I also agree with the others saying you could upgrade to the 280x. It's much better and worth the money. For a PSU I recommend this
http://dynaquestpc.com/product/seasonic-g-550-gold-modular-psu-550w/
80+ gold, good quality, well known manufacturer and afforable.
Also, did you already choose a storage device?

thanks bro, but im going for a 700w for breathing room since im gonna plan on a crossfire later on. both 280x is already settled for me, checked seasonic kind of pricey though i heard that warranty is good

as of now, my choices are 620 Coolermaster for 2999 @ pchub and 750w corsair cx or GS and hec cougar 700w though someone said discard the cougar series. can you recommend anything for both? since i found that corsair cx is a third tier psu

Ah ok, I didn't realise that you needed it for work. Most people here just want gaming machines. I agree that the 8-core is a great CPU, I have one and I love it. Well, dynaquestpc has what seems to be a great deal on the MSi Twin-Frozr R9-280X. I would get that if I were in the Philippines and wanted an R9-280X. The MSi Twin-Frozr is comparable to the HIS IceQ and Sapphire Vapor-X. The fact that it's priced so low makes it a real bargain:

For the PSU, if you really want a good reliable one, money needs to be spent. I haven't heard that much about the silent pro plus it's only 620W and the CX series are 3rd tier. Best for you would be the GS 700W or 800W Affordable and good.

Neither are modular. If you want modular/semi-modualr (detachable wires in case there're some you won't need for good cable management and better airflow) money needs to be spent.
