It's my first time to build my own gaming PC. Any suggestions please? will this machine enable me to play HD games such as Resident evil, the sims 3/4, need for speed, farcry on high resolution (720p, 1080p if possible) smoothly?

motherboard: asrock h97 anniversary
Processor: 3.3 - 3.7GHz Intel Core i5-4590 6M Cache
video card: ASUS GeForce GTX 750TI-OC 2GB 128BIT DDR5
Memory: 2x4GB KINGSTON HYPERX BLUE 1600MHZ
hard disk: 1 TB Blue 3.5” SATA WD10EZEX
power supply: antec vp550p 550w
chassis: RAIDMAX SUPER VIPER RED USB3.0 case

is this sufficient enough with my demands for games and preferred resolution? is there any incompatibility with the hardwares?

budget for mobo: $75-$90
budget for PSU: $50-$65
budget for processor: $185-$195
my video card would be fixed gtx 750ti

on high for 720p sure, on 1080p no.

The GPU is still fairly low end and wont play games well at 1080p.

You can drop yoru CPU to a i5-4460 and see little to no performance drop and put that into a better gpu where you will see much better gains.

Other option to be able to get even more powerfull gpu is to get an fx-8320, 970 chipset cpu, and that will give you another $40 to put into the GPU. The fx-8320 is less of a cpu but the games you are looking at are more GPU intensive so you will get better performance out of a stronger GPU and slight weaker CPU.

yeah, i agree, so i'll switch down my cpu to i5-4460 to get myself a more powerful GPU. What GPU would fit i5-4460 then? Im from Philippines and my budget would be $750 if converted from php to $ Thank you so much!! i'll wait for your build! :)
