Hi to all! I need some advice from you guys.

I want to build a new PC but i'm confused on the parts.
I have a $700 - $800 budget for this, and i don't need a GPU because i still have my Saphirre r7 240. I know it's a low end card but i will upgrade it later. I just need a new rig and a 1080p monitor for my budget.

• I prefer i5-4690k and a good mobo for this.
• A 2x4gb ram
• and a good GPU for my future upgrade (gpu not included in the budget)

I already have a 500gb HDD, and a gaming keyboard and mouse.

I live in the Philippines so it's hard to pick parts that are readily available in your country, and the price is just to much.

I don't do rendering and other cpu heavy stuff, I will only use it for games like Dota 2, Open world games (i hope this budget will suffice), some old simulation games and for my work. Is it possible for my $$$?

Honestly you can build a very nice machine with that budget and get yourself a new card. Remember this most of todays games use more GPU and less CPU.

Of course you dont want any bottlenecks but there are PLENTY of good budget CPUS to start off with that in some cases work even better with certain games because of optimization. And with the new Z series boards like the Z97's you can get way more out of them then what was originally intended. I personally would build the system around the GPU if you are mainly gaming.
