Hey guys! I will be moving houses soon and I wanted to build myself a gaming rig. I usually stuck with laptops but it really didn't give me what I wanted for gaming (duh) So now, I thought it would be the best time to build myself my own. Please help me out!

MONITOR Right now, I bought a 32" sony full hd 1080p Tv. I am planning to use it for my gaming pc. But I am not sure if that would be the best way to go. And if I do use the TV for gaming, will my rig be enough to handle it?
Looking for advice weather I should game with that TV or get myself a monitor

Budget Range: 600-800$ (800 w/ monitor) or About 30,000 to 40,000 Pesos here in my country

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming

Are you buying a monitor: Looking for advice

Do you need to buy OS: No

Location: Manila, Philippines

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080.. Probably

Right now, I'm thinking about going with AMD FX-6300 black edition paired with the 270x Video card, let me know what you guys think!!

Should be fine playing on your TV, as the resolution is still 1080p, just the pixels are bigger i imagine so it looks different.

This is a sample build. If you do intend to overclock you have a nice CPU cooler. I kept the build close to $600US as I can incase you want to make changes or add something like an SSD

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I just have a question though, will this be able to run things smoothly on high ? And is the mobo future proof, like I can upgrade stuff on my computer when I'll need to or have the money? I can really extend my budget to around 800$ if needed but if this build is enough that would be fine too

I think the motherboard is future proof enough. It has enough slots for another graphics card if you ever wanted to double up in the future. Aslong as you have this processor the motherboard should be fine.

Most likely run most games on high. You can invest in the 280x with the rest of your budget or a SSD up to you if you want faster load times for programs.

Thank you! I'll invest into a 280x and a SSD and kick up my budget up a notch, last thing, can you recommend to me another case or better cooler since it will be pretty hot in my country.
