Hey All!

I'm going to start a business which primarily sells office/school merchandise along with an internet cafe and i've been looking for some components for days now and i also went to some shops to ask advice already and this is what i came up with.

AMD A8 6600k 3.9Ghz Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
MSI Radeon R7 250x 2GB DDR5
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz
Gigabyte IF133

my budget will be $400-$444/each build(without monitors,mice,keyboards,etc). i think i'm all set with everything else except the graphics card, memory and power supply.

For the graphics card: First, i'm not going to use the igpu in the 6600k so i'm getting a dedicated card instead but i'm torn between the XFX & MSI versions of the R7 250x(2GB DDR5 of course). Which one do you think is better? Notice that i did not include the Asus version because it's more expensive and since i'm from the philippines, prices sometimes go $10-$15 higher than US rates. Take note that i'm not going to overclock this build(both gpu & cpu) so can i play bf3, b

I'd go XFX. They are pretty much equal performers with the MSI, especially on the low end cards like the 250x, but usually a bit less expensive. On the power supply, I'd go with anything by Seasonic, XFX or a few models by Enermax and EVGA. Just make sure they are at least a tier 3 PSU on the list linked to below. Kingston, G.Skill and Corsair all have pretty decent budget memory so any suitable RAM from those manufacturers is probably ok so long as it's compatible with the motherboard and CPU.
