So , yeah lets start. This is my first time building my gaming pc, and i researched alot from the internet,and i came up with this build. With their price in my country (philippines) i know it has big difference about the price.

Intel i5 4460 (3.2ghz) -8.5k php (215$)
Msi gtx 750 ti 2gb oc frozr 7.5k php-(165$)
Asus b85m-g 3.4k php-(75$)
8gb kingston 1600mhz (2x4)-2.6k php (56$)
Seagate 1tb hard drive-2.5k php (54$)
Fsp hexa he+550 500watts power supply-1.8k php (40$)
Cougar archon black casing-2k php (43$)

Cost in USD - 648$
Cost in PHP - 27k php
PHP- philippine peso
1$-45php
Note: USD price is not base into US pc components prices . Its based on my country

1. I do not overclock
2. I might upgrade in the future
3. Games i like to play. (Dota 2,GTAV,NBA games (2k15,2k16),maybe other latest games like witcher or something
4.there is no stock for other brand for my components ( i might look to other stores)
5.i know that is so overpriced for that build but my country is not that kind of rich country
6.i think you cant suggest other whole build because it has different prices maybe yes if you are from philippines , but feel free to suggest other components that will fit me
7. My budget - 25k php to 27k php

Questions:
1.first of all , can i play the latest games with that build? If yes what settings and is it playable fps?
2.how many years will that build will last me?
3.i hve a shitty old monitor (aoc 152v) phased out , do i need to buy anew one or just stay with my old monitor? Will that affect the performance?
4.is my parts is good enough? For me?
5. Im installing a downloadable windows 8.1 and im thinking to upgrade it to windows 10 will that work? Will it not affect files or something like that?
I might add more questions soon.

Thanks in advance, i hope you can help me.

The upgrade you originally posted? Yea sure, it'll play those games. GTAV might struggle a bit but you could still get it looking better than a console probably. It will get you started for sure.

1. You can play the latest games with that build. What settings you can use will depend on each game and your monitor's resolution, but suffice to say that the 750 Ti is not a powerful card. It is well suited to a lower resolution like 720p, but anything significantly higher like 1600x900 or 1080p is going to require lower to medium settings in most newer games.

2. Depends on how long you can wait really. It will still function (assuming no hardware failures) even five years from now, although that won't be at decent settings for the time.

3. You don't need a new monitor to play with newer hardware.

4. I would recommend a better graphics card even if it means getting a cheaper CPU like an i3. However, if you plan on upgrading to a better Nvidia graphics card later on, then you can stick with the i5 and use the 750 Ti card for PhysX processing. Basically, if you want to upgrade the computer rather than replace it later on, then keep it as is for now and upgrade the graphics later. If you want a better computer to start off with but with a worse upgrade path, then get an i3 and something like a GTX 960.

5. It should work fine, assuming you really want Windows 10. If you are going to do this, then it would be best to do the upgrade before installing any other software such as games and other things.

It's not a bad budget build, it will definitely do some gaming.

In modern games at 1080p, I don't think you'll get 60 fps out of the 750 Ti unless possibly you're on very low settings (or it's not a very demanding game). My GTX 760 gets 30-45 fps on high to very high settings in the most demanding games to date so it depends what your expectations are for fps. Some people won't play anything under 60 fps, doesn't bother me so much.

Have you looked around for either a GTX 760 or 960? You should be able to find them pretty close to $200 in the US nowadays.

EDIT: Monitors do matter, don't bother spending too much on a graphics card if you can't see any improvement above 720p anyway or benefit from high settings.

You should spend more money on GPU if you are building gaming PC and downgrade your CPU to i3 4160 or even x4 860k/g3258.

PSU you picked is also bad quality. If you give me the link to website where you will be buying i can take a look to see what are the best components for gaming you can get for your budget

Do i just need to downgrade my cpu into i3 4160? And upgrade my graphics card to 960 or something? . Thats not my final build btw , i might look up to other pc stores with cheap price.

I definitely understand why you would put more money into the GPU with a gaming rig, but there's a couple things to consider with that. One is that modern games are using and even requiring 4 cores, more and more often. Make sure if you get a dual core that it does at least have hyperthreading, and if a game relies heavily on 4 cores performance will still suffer.

The second thing to consider is that if you go to upgrade your gpu in the next year, it should still work fine without any more upgrades, except you'll probably want a better power supply. However, if you want to upgrade your cpu in the next year, you may find yourself having to rebuy new motherboard and possibly your RAM.

Finally, like I said before, your monitor makes a difference. Your display and gpu upgrades should be going hand in hand, otherwise what's the point.

I'm not saying that the GPU isn't the most important investment for gaming, because it is. However, some things to keep in mind.

On the AMD side you could price-compare the FX-6350 (or FX-6300) with a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AM3+ or MSI 970 Gaming AM3+.

In order to free-up some money for your graphics card, you may also consider an Intel Pentium G3258, or an AMD Athlon 860K with an FM2+ motherboard.

Well okay heres my plan. i think i will not upgrade my rig anymore. i will be using this for like 4-5 years and buy a new one.

i think my all set with all of my parts except my gpu,now lets talk about my gpu. is GTX 750 TI FROZR 2GB is enough to sustain my needs ? im not the guy who will maxed out the game. im the guy who will play within med-high settings within playable fps like 30-60 fps.

and what do you mean about this? "Finally, like I said before, your monitor makes a difference. Your display and gpu upgrades should be going hand in hand, otherwise what's the point." so i should buy a better monitor? like BENQ?

It depends what monitor you have now. All I'm saying is that if you are going to buy a gpu so that you can game at 1080p 60 fps, make sure your monitor is 1080p 60 fps. If you want your settings on high, make sure the color quality on your monitor is good enough you can actually see the high detail. A GTX 970 is a good GPU for 1080p60, where as a 980 ti is better suited for 1440 or 4k. If you tell us what you want to game at and what monitor you have now, we can tell you what parts would be ideal
