Hi guys,

Please help me build my first gaming pc. I'm looking at around 45k budget for the rig but if it's cheaper then the better :) 

Currently looking for parts in this site.
http://dynaquestpc.com/

the current parts that i picked are:
1. core i5 4690k (P10,650)
2. Sapphire r9 280x Dual-X (P13,500)
3. Cooler Master Hyper 212x CPU cooler (P2,450)
4. Samsung 840 evo series 120gb SATA(boot drive) (P4,050)
5. Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB SATA Hard drive (mass storage) (P2,750)
6. Corsair CX series CX600M 80-Plus Bronze AFPC Modular PSU (P3,500)

current total: 36,900

Case: undecided (hopefully something that looks cool but has good air flow as well. Preferably with blue themed since im planning to get a gaming keyboard and mouse that have blue LED lights)
Mobo: undecided - hoping to get something that i can use if ever i decide to upgrade to a crossfire config(if my gpu is not enough for the games anymore)
Ram: undecided (anything 8gb will do i think, im not familiar which are the best brands)

Please help me pick the rest of the parts that would fit my budget. Also, if you have suggestions for better parts/combination of parts please feel free to do so.

Also, with that current build, will i be able to play most of the current and future games(1-3 years) in high quality in 1080p?

I also plan to look at different stores to check for prices(mostly in gilmore) so if you have stores that sell cheaper parts, please tell me. But for now, i'm basing my build from the ones in the website since it's the cheapest online store here the philippines that i could find.
Thanks in advance. :)

Note: The Philippine Peso is currently about 44.3 to the dollar. For our US residents, the budget is basically $1,000.

One of our moderators put together a guide to known decent stores in many parts of the world (not that it's all good stores in those areas, just those known to him) here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1643019/guide-inte... . The one you name is on that list. You can check for others.

Try Asus sabertooth 990fx. Its what im using with my Sapphire R9 270x Vapor-x. :)  Your cooler master hyper 212x cpu cooler is a lil bit expensive in my opinion. I bought the same cooler for only P1650. Also you might want to check out the dragonwar brand for your mouse and keyboard. They're cheaper than most gaming brand but still good. :)

If you are looking at dynaquestpc.com please note that their prices in the website are exclusive of tax which means that the price in their website is not final.

Though prices in dynaquest are significantly cheaper compared to those stores in the malls.

2. http://dynaquestpc.com/product/gigabyte-ga-z97x-gaming-... gigabyte ga z97x gaming 3 ₱7,100.00

6. http://dynaquestpc.com/product/xigmatek-dark-knight-sd1... xigmatek dark knight ₱2,200.00 (This is a much better cpu cooler than the hyper 212x)
7.http://dynaquestpc.com/product/sandisk-ultra-plus-nb-12... sandisk ultra plus 128 gb ssd ₱3,850.00 (This is the sandisk equivalent of the 840 evo and costs much lesser)
8. http://dynaquestpc.com/product/western-digital-caviar-b... WD caviar blue 1 tb ₱2,630.00
9. http://dynaquestpc.com/product/seasonic-s12ii-620w-80pl... Seasonic s12 620w ₱3,300.00 ( This is a much better psu than the corsair cx 600. The cx series from corsair is notorious for psu failure under load and not being able to serve up the defined wattage.)
Total : 48080 P
You could cut costs by going for a cheaper mobo and no ssd. You could get an ssd later. If you want strength, go for the 280X. If you want weaker performance but more cool features, 285. The 280x will perform better but doesn't have FreeSync support, nor TrueAudio, also tessellation is worse.

Check http://www.tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=PCHub
That is PCHub which is located at gilmore...
The TPC price is significantly lower than the dynaquest prices.
Just read the terms and conditions (it is not that long) and the instructions on how to reserve and avail the TPC price.
