as of now this is what im planning but i want to save money for monitor and speaker. i chose asus over giga because of the reviews.

i7 4770k - 15,750
asus z87-plus - 10,200
gskill ripjawsx 4gb 1600mhz x2 - 3,850
western digital 1tb black - 3,850
seasonics12II 620w - 3,600
asus gtx760 2gb ddr5 256bit - 14,400
antec p280 black w/ window - 6,600

* *samsung 120gb 840 evo ssd - 5,250 (if i still have budget for this)

THIS IS THE SITE OF THE SHOP http://pcx.com.ph/ and it's a Philippine money

Check out the solution.

As for why I go with the black for my system drive (120 GB SSD plus 1TB Black) is the warranty. I would prefer the longer warranty as that generally means they take more care with producing the drive and thus more reliable. Whether this is the case or not is unknown to me.

I would go for the WD Blue or a Seagate Barracuda if it means you can put an SSD in the system.

Can save some by going the Z87-A (I like it better than the Plus), go with the WD Blue - it's basically the same exact drive but marketed differently (both 1 TB, 64 cache, 7200 RPM)

And you'll prob want a 3rd party CPU cooler (Hyper 212 EVO would be a good choice if available)

ok i'll go with z87-A (if i go with z87-A, can i still get cm gts v8 later?) and they all recommend me to go with WD black, i thought it was better than WD blue. there's this COOLER MASTER HYPER 612PWM CPU COOLER - 1,995.00.

you've chosen a super CPU, but low-mid GPU (for gaming). WD black not needed either. You're CPU and mobo is for overclocking, not the best way to reduce costs.

I would recommend;
Cheaper 1TB HDD
Xeon E3-1230-V3 (equivalent of I7, no o/c)
Cheaper, but still decent branded B85 mobo (Asrock etc).
Better GPU - GTX770 or R9-280x

so they're quite the same except samsung has bigger screen? i guess asus?



ASUS B85M-G motherboard ?
there's no xeon for sale in the store.

well if i change my mobo to asus b85m-g , i think i can buy the asus gtx770 2gb gddr5 256bit, so worth it?
