Dire need of help. Upgrading my 5+ yrs old pc.

iaaaaan · Oct 23, 2016

Hi guys, I'm currently upgrading my PC and i need help on choosing components. AMD or Intel builds are okay with me. I can only buy from this website: https://dynaquestpc.com/ and my budget is Php 35,000 or approximately $720~. Can i build a pc that can play at High-Ultra high 1080p 60fps (and decent performance for 1440p)? Please look at the site and help me choose my parts. Thank you so much.

I'm currently using this monitor: Samsung SyncMaster S20A300B
I plan to also use my current HDD which is a Hitachi 1TB (forgot the RPM).
I may or may not buy a case (depending on the budget left).

So i'll need a processor, mobo, gpu (a GTX 1060 or RX-480), RAM, and PSU. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Let's see,

CPU - Intel i5-6500 (₱9,640.00)
link: https://dynaquestpc.com/product/intel-core-i5-6500-3-20-3-60ghz-skylake-w-purchase-of-mobo/

CPU cooler - stock Intel cooler, comes with CPU.

RAM - 2x Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB (2x ₱1,590.00 = ₱3,180.00)
link: https://dynaquestpc.com/product/kingston-hyperx-fury-4gb-single-ddr4-2133mhz-cl14-hx421c14fb4/

MoBo - MSI B150M Night Elf (₱4,750.00)

But if you want to play well on 1440p, a better GPU is needed.
2nd build:

Also a comparison between the two builds. i5-6500 as a base and i3-6100 as an alternative.

Why B150? H110 is more than good enough. Why not 16GB of RAM. I know it may not be possible with the 1070 but on the 1060 build you could put 16GB of RAM with a H110 MoBo

I'm planning on raising the budget to ₱40,000 so i might mix and match a few parts of both builds. But thank you so much for this!

Any other builds are welcome. Thank you guys! You are a life-saver.

WiiUMasterGman :

Went with the B-series MoBo for much better look and for having 4 RAM slots, so OP can add extra 8GB RAM later on.

iaaaaan :

Since budget got raised, composed a new build.

CPU - Intel i5-6500 (₱9,640.00)
link: https://dynaquestpc.com/product/intel-core-i5-6500-3-20-3-60ghz-skylake-w-purchase-of-mobo/

CPU cooler - stock Intel cooler, comes with CPU.

RAM - 2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB Single DDR4 2400 CL14 (2x ₱2,250.00 = ₱4,500.00)
link: https://dynaquestpc.com/product/corsair-vengeance-lpx-8gb-single-ddr4-2400-cl14-cmk8gx4m1a2400c14/

MoBo - ECS H110M-C3D (₱2,450.00)
link: https://dynaquestpc.com/product/ecs-h110m-c3d/

GPU - Zotac GTX 1070 Mini 8GB (ZT-P10700K-10M) (₱19,900.00)
link: https://dynaquestpc.com/product/zotac-gtx-1070-mini-8gb-zt-p10700k-10m/

PSU - Seasonic S12II 520W 80PLUS Bronze (₱2,650.00)
link: https://dynaquestpc.com/product/seasonic-s12ii-520w-80plus-bronze/

Total: ₱39,140.00

Note: MoBo supports RAM speeds only at 2133 Mhz, while RAM is rated at 2400 Mhz. Your RAM will work but it's speed will be downgraded to match the 2133 Mhz. There is no harm to MoBo or RAM due to this.
