Hey guys, im building my 1st gaming rig and i would like to ask if you can help me find a great cooler, and some other things(*) from these list. This are the only parts available in my location and i was disappointed due to lack of choices. either air or liquid would be nice

I'm hoping to buy these parts: my budget is Php 40,000 or $890 maybe i could add some more make it $900ish?

CPU-i5-4690k - 10,550
Mobo-*Asus Z97 pro gamer - 7,650 / MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - 8,200
GPU-Palit Gtx 750ti OC dual 2gb - 6,000
HDD-*is seagate 7200 sata same as sata 3 im hoping to buy a 1tb - both cost at 2,400
or should i get the WB black 1tb -3,650?
CHASIS-*im also a bit confused here, should i get the Aerocool Strike X one - 1,880 , Cooler master n400 + 2fans (stated here) or Corsair 300r?
PSU-*should i go for m12ii or s12ii and 520w or 620w?
>s12ii 520w-2,800
>s12ii 620w-3,300
>m12ii 520w-3,300
>m12ii 620w-4,000
RAM-I already bought 2x4gb hyperx fury 1866 (excluded from budget)
Cooler-H80i? 120XL? feel free to suggest

guys pls stick to the papper coz thats the only parts i can buy here. U can add/change/suggest if you think its better
I know i lack choices and it sucks especially for me.

Intel i5 4690K = 11200
Deepcool Lucifer V2 = 1800
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 = 8300
Seagate 1TB Sata3 = 2450
Seasonic m12ii 620w EVO = 4000
Asus/MSI GTX 960 2GB = 10400
Aerocool Vs-3 Advance = 1950
Total: 40,100 Php

* That Seagate is SATA 3, no need for Western Digital Black [thay are overkill], you can chose WD Blue
* For Better Overclocking, you need better Mobo [That's why Z97X Gaming 5]
* Water Cooling or Air Cooling: your preference [H80i or 120XL both are good]
* Choose either Seasonic S12ii series or M12ii EVO series not M12ii
* That cheap Case is good for extra Space & long Card. Buy Case at last. If can save some money then go for Corsair 300R window.
* All prices are included from GigaDrive, that you post. So buying from direct...

I was looking at this too,just as a heads up,that cooler That RababNoor chose doesn't fit into the case he chose.


Abit of an unbalance between gpu and cpu power.Are you definitely going to overclock? I would rather spend less on a cpu,like the 4590 or even the 4460 if that would give me a better gpu.The i3 4170 would already do good.

A cheaper but fine motherboard that maybe allows some extra money for the gpu,
GIGABYTE Z97X GAMING 3
You could go cheaper with a H97 when going for an i5 that doesn't overclock,but the ram would only work at 1600mhz then.

Cases,i would go for the Corsair r300,if not the cooler master n400.It probably depends on your budget as well.Less spend here would free money for a better gpu and the N400 would do fine.

Psu's,all are good choices.If you're not thinking about a gtx980ti or r9 390 series in the future would a 520watt do fine.Depends on budget and the need/want for modular after that.

I would also just go for the seagate hdd.

For coolling could you look at these depending on budget,
DEEPCOOL MAELSTROM 120K (aio watercooling,not bad,not great))
DEEPCOOL ASSASIN (best,but bulky,with the fury ram should it be fine.)
DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 (not bad,but afaik worst and cheapest)
Depends on the cpu you choose as well.An i3 would do just fine on the stock cooler and for an aftermarket one would the next already be fine,
DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 300
For the I5 as well btw.

Im planning to mildly overclock the 4690k with the GB mobo at 4.2 or possibly up to 4.4 but i dont know which cooler would help me attain it. Maybe with the Deepcool Assassin?

For the power, will the m12ii 620w give enough power for the asus gtx960 and 4690k? If not what do u recommend?

Can u suggest what cooler can i get if i chose to buy the 300r, exclude the eisberg coz it cost too much. Maybe 5000 or less preferably?

My plan B was to get:
4590
Gtx750ti
H97 pro gamer
Seagate 1tb
M12ii 520 evo
300r casing
Lucifer v2

Then again i thought about building a more long term investment

Thanks again for taking time in reading my post and giving your comments guys i really appreciate it

Again why are you going for GTX 750Ti!!!

750Ti is not gonna help you in long term. That's why i told you to chose GTX 960 which is equal to 2 x 750Ti.

If you are not into Video Editing/Rendering, then for Gaming/Multitasking either 4460 or 4690K will perform slightly same.

If you chose 4460, then you dont need any aftermarket Cooler. Stock Cooler will do fine.
So saving from cooler price, you can get GTX 970/R9 390, which are much more powerful than GTX 960.
ANd to run a GTX 970/R9 390, a Seasonic m12ii 620w EVO/Seasonic s12ii 620w will fine.

Always buy the Case at last. So that you can chose which Cooler will fit in your Case.

That second rig still has the 750 ti in it as well so no improvement on the gpu,no need to go for that if there's no better gpu in it for you. The point of some lower priced parts was to get a better gpu than the gtx 750 ti.

The second system (plan B) would do fine though for gaming,but with a better gpu in it would it be nicer.The B85 Pro Gamer would already do fine in that build and save money which could go to a better gpu.The Lucifer V2 isn't needed in that system,the GammXX 300 would do fine.
Already gave other options to save money for a better gpu.

Overclocking should give the system some extra time before needing to upgrade.

For that overclock you talk about is the Lucifer V2 a good choice.

A seasonic 620watt would be more than enough for those components (overclocking).
