ok so I looked around stores here(im from philippines) and found this setup.its the cheapest I can find that is good already.

AMD Vishera FX-8320 Processor
Gigabyte GA78LMT-S2 Motherboard
Gskill Ripjaws x 8gb 4gbx2 Ddr3 1600 CL9
Casing w/ 600 Watts Power Supply
Sapphire R9-270X Dual-X w/Boost OC Version 2G DDR5 256 BIT

im on a tight budget too.

so should i change the mobo?whats the
difference of 780,880 and 970 chipset?

these are the posible mobo's that i can buy.
GA78LMT-S2,
Asrock 880GM-LE FX,
Asrock 970 Extreme3,
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3

how bout the gpu?is that a good gpu?its the cheapest of its level.what's its counterpart in nvidia?

and the casing has 600w psu but im not really sure if the psu there is good.

and which is better for a 5year future proof.an i5 4440 or the fx 8320.most games nowadays are running on multiple core and the new consoles(ps4 and xbox one) are 8core as well.

The CPU, ram and graphics card are fine. That GPU is good and the Nvidia counterpart would either be the 760 or 660ti. In the UK the R9 270X is cheaper than both of these so better value for money but i'm not sure waht it's like where you are. You'll need to check what the PSU is and hopefully its a Corsair/Seasonic or a good brand with 80+ bronze. If you're going to overclock get a CPU cooler like Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO as the stock coolers aren't great. I'm not familiar with the chipsets but for a decent budget build with no/small overclock you should go for a 970 board like the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3

Do not buy a case with a power supply because most of them have low quality PSUs, I would recommend getting one from this list from Class 3 and above: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

You should pick the Asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 or the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P as they are better motherboards.

The GPU you picked is good for its price as it does not have a counterpart from nvidia.

For the CPU I am not really sure as the i5-4440 has four very strong cores and is great on single threaded tasks whereas the fx 8320 is great for multi threaded tasks but has 8 weak cores and has a higher TDP.

well im trying to be on par with consoles and they have 8 cores so im planning to get that fx 8320 so as long as the ps4 and xbox one is still being used i can still use my pc.

Quad Core Intel CPUs will outperform AMD CPUs 95% most of the time in gaming as proven in benchmarks but the AMD 8-core series will outperform Intel CPUs in rendering, photoshop. . etc. as long as all the cores are fully utilized.
