You could spend more and getthe st version. Your current hardware wont hold you back unless you are using 2133mhz ram, that could offer a problem.

Prices here in philippines is so bad that the xt version is 6k-8k pesos more expensive than the non xt version so thats out of my range. Im using a 2600mhz kit btw.

I would save more and be safe rather than sorry. Gaming puts high load on PSU and the lower quality units have higher probability of failure during such stress. Those budget lines are not really made for gaming other than basic low graphics games.
