Can you tell me your total budget and whether you want to include rebates in it? Some of the brands for your components seem low quality.

lol sorry for the typo error regarding PSU. Edited. Regarding budget, more or less P50,000.00 (I live in the Philippines btw.) so it's about $1143.38 (googled it). Regarding the GPU, how does it differ from another brand(zotac, evga, palit etc) if they're both nvidia or amd? About the suggestions, I will look into those. Thanks. Sorry for my english lol.

I'm not too worried about the gpu. Some brands might have better casing or cooling fans than other brands. Some brands might have better overclocking, etc. I would upgrade the psu to a better brand though. A bad one can destroy your computer.

I'd suggest a Corsair PSU (I love them) And an MSI GPU (Especially the Twin FROZR series)

And no that's not weird haha here's a cheaper one (This is my current Build) :

haha good to hear that. I'm planning on picking the i5-4670 without the K. Are they equal? (Cause the K is for being overclockable right which I'm not going to do) And also about the RAM, isn't it better to pick 2x4gb RAM instead of 1x8gb? Or is it just me? Anyways, thanks!

Oh yea! *Slaps forehead* Totally forgot about the k... Lol and well, TBH I have no idea lol But since the motherboard handles up to 32gb of RAM then it wouldnt make sense to have only a max of 16 gb of ram due to you purchasing 2 x 4gb RAM (Max would be 4 x 4gb of RAM) Just future proof too me but it's all up to you in the end! Glad to help!

If you are buying from the philippines then what people here have suggested might not work out for you cause hardware is pricier and limited in the philippines

I too am from there and buy every parts from here they have the best deals around philippines

after doing research on my build, I've decided to swap the GTX 760 for Sapphire R9 270x OC 2GB 'cause yeah it's cheaper and both cards are not very much afar in terms of performance. I would like to know if I made the right choice?

The issue with the r9 270x is that you need a higher wattage psu. So if you're building your first pc, the cost difference between the nvidia cards and amd cards even out because you can use a cheaper psu for the nvidia cards.
