Q> Does that build can last at least 1-2 yrs? about the PSU is that the PRO series? if not, can you be more specific? i`m a bit confused sorry.

Q> Can i buy other RAM brands but i should choose 1600mhz 2x4GB versions or just at least 8gb of ram? or G.skill Sniper is special/better? The right PC components here is bit hard to find especially newer ones (philippines)

Thanks.
 
Q num 1. Yes,it will last about 2 years and they you'll have to upgrade.Yes,it's XFX PRO 550W.
Q num 2. You can buy any 2x4GB RAM you want.But I have a few suggestions though:
a) Get RAM made by Kingston,Corsair,G.Skill,Crucial, and Mushkin.Those are the brands I trust.Samsung also makes some good RAM.
b) Get 2x4GB of RAM mentioned above.
c) Make sure it's voltage is 1.5V,because that's usually the high quality RAM.
d) Speeds or frequencies don't matter,but 1600 or 1866 MHz would be just fine. :)

Q > if i don`t OC the G2358 buying it would be pointless or can i still achieve 40-60 fps High-Ultra with the H81 at stock speed cause I`m using 900p Monitor?

Q > Z97 are expensive which i can`t seem to like, since i`m trying to squeeze my budget for better GPU like getting the 270 or 760

Q > In terms of price and versatility isn't the FX6300 more worth it? It has cheaper MOBOs that can OC and has more cores

I`m no expert, sorry for a lot of questions
 
Q num.1 The G3258 can handle games at 1080p at medium or even high in some cases,so playing certain games,like CoD,Minecraft,DayZ,Crysis 2,maybe even BF3 can be played at ultra at 900p no problem.

Q num.2 That would be a good option,but you can wait for the launch of the GTX 960,which will be powerful and not too expensive.

Q num.3. No,no and no, The G3258 is cheaper and you can upgrade to a way stronger CPU in the future without having to buy a new mobo. For the FX-6300,yes you can get an FX 8320 or 8350,but even an i5 4460 will beat them in every game. And not all AMD mobos are good for ocing,only 990FX and 990 FXA are able to give stable overclocks.
