Your thoughts on my system.

Guys this is my final build on a budget and I just want to ask some couple of questions.

Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
AMD FX-6300 3.5GHZ
R9-270X 2GB GDDR5 256BIT
GSKILL RIPJAWS 2x4GB - 8GB
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Liteon DVDRW IHAS-124 24x Sata
Corsair VS550 Power Supply
Cooler Master K350
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

1) Are these specs are fine, I mean everything would work too well while playing games like BF4, Watch Dogs, AC: IV, etc.
2) On the games listed above, can I run them in ultra at 1080p?
3) Are there any issues regarding the MOBO, CPU, GPU and PSU? I mean are their compatible to each other?
4) Regarding on the quality of the GPU what brand is more reliable - MSI, ASUS or SAPPHIRE?
5) Any opinions on overclocking?

I really need your help and opinions and I appreciate them! Thank you!

I doubt you could play them on Ultra. Most reliable GPU brand is Asus and if you were to OC, then you would need an aftermarket cooler, maybe something like the Corsair H60

Everything look fine.

But add 2 two 4GB RAMs not single 8GB RAM

How much is your budget ?

My budget is in Philippines Peso, P35,000 = $800. Sorry bro that's a dual 4GB Ram.

Don't expect ultra settings. High settings is more what you will get.

mhartz · May 15, 2014

tiny voices :

How about custom settings, high and ultra?

Parthu Revanth · May 15, 2014

from which web site do you prefer?
please give link of you local retailer web site, so i can build best PC according to you local prices.

because price in US are very low compared to other countries.

tiny voices · May 15, 2014

It depends on the game. In BF4 I would expect high settings, not really a mix of high and ultra.

Watchdogs will definitely not run at ultra and may run at a mix of medium and high to get 60fps. Your CPU will be the limiting factor there.

mhartz · May 15, 2014

Parthu Revanth :

I've got 2 sites but these are Philippine address.

Here: http://dynaquestpc.com/ and http://pcx.com.ph/

P.S. - I'm on a budget bro.

mhartz · May 15, 2014

tiny voices :

So I need to (mild)OC the CPU?

tiny voices · May 15, 2014

You do not need to at all. It might help. Honestly the 6300 is just a bit weak for a CPU intensive game like Watch Dogs.

get aftermarket cpu cooler when your thinking to Overclock. Just use stock CPU cooler.

tiny voices · May 15, 2014

DO NOT buy that PSU and case combo. The PSU is TRASH. Stick only with Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

Parthu Revanth · May 15, 2014

tiny voices :

It is not as good as external PSU. But it will be fine.I don't think it will be trash. get a good UPS and good to go.

tiny voices · May 15, 2014

No, it will be junk. I'm, sorry.

The PSU is the single most important part of the PC. DO NOT cheap out on it just so it can fry everything you just bought.

I am not agreeing with you nd STRONGLY urging OP to get a quality PSU. You WILL be sorry if you cheap out on the PSU.

Parthu Revanth · May 15, 2014

OK! I will Change it.

This is a good build, but is basically exactly the same as OPs original build.

mhartz · May 15, 2014

Thank you Sir Parthu Revanth and Sir tiny voices. Actually that specs of mine is for me and my friend. I think i'll share to him Sir Parthu Revanth's build. I'll take all your ideas! Thank you!

Parthu Revanth · May 15, 2014

I forgot Add a DVD drive. Add a DVD drive. After Building PC if you find CPU is running in high temp then Add a aftermarket cpu cooler.

Your PC build will be less than 35000 Philippines Peso.

Parthu Revanth · May 15, 2014

tiny voices :

I agree with you.If you want to Play Next Gen Games like Watch Dogs, consider getting 8350.
(or)

Buy FX 8320 and add aftermarket cpu cooler and overclock to 4GHz you will get 8350.

FX 8320 is 2000 peso more than FX 6300.

mhartz · May 15, 2014

Then no need to change the Sapphire R9-270X Dual X OC 2GB?

Parthu Revanth · May 15, 2014

mhartz :

There is no change in build, Just change FX 6300 to FX 8320.
you have budget to get FX 8350.

FX 6300(6-Cores) vs FX 8320(8-Cores)

Parthu Revanth · May 15, 2014

What is the price of r9 280 and r9 280x in you country ?

mhartz · May 15, 2014

Okay thanks. But if I'm going to OC the FX 8320 or FX 8350 is the Hyper 212 EVO is enough and do I need to change the PSU as well? And ofcourse regarding on my mobo when OC'ng?
