Check this out: Budget Gaming PC

[RLBalane]

Hey guys! I need your help

I am planning to build a "budget" Gaming PC and I want you guys to check out the components I chose to see if there are issues you encountered with some of these components and also if they are reliable, durable, decent and effective enough for a "budget" Gaming PC.

By the way, my budget is PHP 33,500 ($ 743)

CPU:Intel i5 - 4590
Motherboard:Asus H97M - PLUS
Memory:Kingston Hyper-X 4GB (2pcs.)
Hard Disk Drive: Seagate 1TB SV35 Series
Solid State Drive:Intel® SSD 530 Series (120 GB)
Optical Drive:Samsung 22X
Graphics Card:Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX (2GB GDDR5)
Power Supply:Thermaltake SMART SE 530W Modular
CPU Cooler:Intel i5 - 4590 Stock Cooler
Casing:NZXT Source 210 Window
Cooling Fans:DeepCool XFAN 120L

Your responses, suggestions and experiences are highly appreciated. Thanks for help!

if you can try getting a 256g evo or intel or another good ssd. a 120g ssd is slightly small. with an ssd you need room for it to wear level and cleanup..if you fill an ssd to full it slows down a lot.

look for a good 650w for a gaming unit. it give you some overhead if you swap out the gpu for a higher end gpu.
look at corair non cx units or seasonic or a rebranded sesonic. you dont need gold level unit a bronze units are fine. having the wrong unit or a low tier unit...unit can shut down or ripple out when loaded or go bang and take out your gaming rig.

if you can replace the intel cpu cooler with one with a backplate. the intel cpu coolers use plastic push pins that are known to fall and can cuse the cpu cooler to losen or fall off the cpu.

The 750ti is going to bottleneck the 4590. Try this. I have a slightly weaker cpu but a much better gpu. Most games do not need that good of a cpu. But games need the gpu heavily. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dfKjkL
