entry level pc gaming build

[whatdahil]

hi guys
a few weeks back i created a thread about the specs of a pc rig that i was planning to build. it was an i5 4590 with gtx 960 gpu, however since then things happened and it turns out i'm not gonna be able to afford it if im planning to finish the rig on january next year. so i created another build, a cheaper one, and im still planning to use this pc for gaming (hopefully with old and new games)

so here is my pc build (you can ignore the prices, the currency is in philippine peso, im not familiar with the usd price)
PROC: Intel Core i3 6100 3.7Ghz 2-Core - 5390.00
MOBO: Asus H110M-D D3 - 3740.00
RAM: G.Skill Aegis (Dual) 2x4gb 1600 CL11 - 2520.00
PSU: Seasonic (S12II) 520watts PSU 80+ Bronze - 2620.00
GPU: Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual 2gb - 5790.00
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB = 2,480
CASE: SHARKOON VS4-S - 1200
total: 23740

and im planning to maybe upgrade this in the future, but will this rig be good enough for new games? any changes/improvements that i can do that may not affect / have little effect on the price?

Then your build is quite fine. I´d shop around to see if you can get a GTX 950 for the same price as the 750TI. In alot of countries they are almost similar priced. As for CPU, you want a quadcore cpu. i3 or i5 - not a dualcore!

That's a 2 core/4 thread i3 Skylake running at 3.7 GHz and my experience with an i3-4160 Haswell tells me that it's not a bad chip for the money. I'm perfectly happy running newer games with an 13-4160 and a GTX 960 GPU at 60FPS+ on a 1080p monitor.

It´s gonna struggle in my oppinion with modern games, however it may perform fine with an overclock. I heard skylake chips can be overcloced on bclck.

The 750Ti is the choke...

i see. what about -->Zotac GTX 950 2GB DDR5 128Bit (ZT-90601-10L) for -7530. price difference between this and palit gtx 750 ti is P1990, converted to usd about $43. is it worth it? will there compatibility issues?
