Proc amd FX 8350
MOBO msi 970 gaming mobo
RAM Gskills ripjaws 8gb (4gbx2)
GPU r9 270x/gtx 750 ti im not sure about these
HDD sea gate 1TB 7200RPM 3.5 inch SATA
PSU Corsair VS650 650w
CASING i dunno lol

scrap the AMD chip and go with an i3 4350 or above. It'll cost the same but the intel chip will draw far less power and be faster for games.

If you go with the i3, you can also get a 950 instead of the slower 750, and drop the PSU from 650 to 450W (ends up costing the same that way)

i5 4460? what do you think?

basroil · Oct 15, 2015

Perfectly good option. The newer 6500 skylake chip is just $10 more though (but memory and mobo are more expensive ).

alright thank you

i5 4460 and r9 270x is alright?

VS PSU's are very poor quality, its really important to get a good PSU, every component is dependent on it and if it fails it has the potential to damage other components.

Anything tier 1 or 2 on this list of 450w or more is enough for your build however getting a 600w will give you much greater flexibility should you decide to upgrade your PC later

Jonathan_11 :

You'll need to use pcpartpicker to show people, that link is a session URL that only you can see.

From the specs above though, You can expect 60fps gaming at 1080p with low-medium settings in newer games

Jonathan_11 · Oct 15, 2015

oh sorry thanks. the stocks in the philippines are limited lol. how about world of warcraft at high settings 1080p at 60fps?

basroil · Oct 15, 2015

You can probably get 60fps max settings on WoW with an abacus and set of colored pencils! Should do fine on WoW and most MOBAs as well.

here, this is the i5 version.

Switch out the PSU for http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20650y1 or http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12g650 and the $5-10 dollar difference will pay for itself in the long run (lets say 50Wh/day (comp on for 5 hours at an average draw of 100W) in savings over 5 years at 25 cents, that's $10 bucks right there).

Jonathan_11 · Oct 15, 2015

so everything is good after i switch it out?

Jonathan_11 · Oct 15, 2015

problem is our local store doesnt have those psu's you send me T.T
