Hi Experts,

I'm planning to built my very first computer with a very limited budget (PhP20,000 or around 450-500USD). So far, the following are the parts that meets my budget.
Questions:
A. How does this build fair with the current games today? I did not specify the games that I like becuase I intend to buy games that will be manageable for my build. Or maybe I'm just a noob. =)
B. Can I make it better without my budget increasing?
D: Am I missing something? Compatibility Issues?

All opinions are welcome. (Read: Feel free to bash my build!)

Case: Thermaltake V3 Black Series
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3
Processor: Core I3 4130
GPU: Asus HD7770 (HD7770-DC-1GD5-V2)
RAM: 1 x 4GB Corsair XMS3
PSU: Thermaltake 500W Black Series (80+) or Corsair 450W (not 80+ i think
HDD: WD 500GB

Thanks in Advance!

Edit: Missed some details
Edit 2: In case you want to check out what's available here, my prices are from pcx.com.ph
