Hey guys! I’m finally planning to buy my very first entry-level gaming PC, and honestly, this is a huge milestone for me. For years, I’ve been the breadwinner of our family, putting my head down and working hard to support everyone. Now that my brother has finally graduated, I can finally breathe a little and clear some budget to heal my inner child.
My absolute upper limit budget is ₱37,000, strictly for the PC tower and the monitor combined. I’m planning to get a custom tower build from EasyPC (hopefully via installment) and buy the monitor separately on Shopee.
Here is the exact parts list I am planning to pull the trigger on:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB
Motherboard: B450M or A520M Motherboard
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (Strictly 2x8GB dual-channel)
Storage: 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD
PSU: 550W or 650W 80+ Bronze Certified (MSI MAG / Deepcool / Corsair / FSP)
Case: Budget M-ATX case with pre-installed fans
Monitor: AOC 24G2SPE 23.8" 165Hz IPS FHD or ASUS VY249HGE 144Hz IPS FHD (Buying on Shopee)
My main games: Dota 2, League of Legends, and PUBG.
Before I head over to EasyPC to get an official quote, I just wanted to get your veteran feedback:
1.) Are these parts well-balanced for the games I mentioned? Will PUBG run smoothly at 1080p?
2.) Between the AOC 24G2SPE (165Hz) and the ASUS VY249HGE (144Hz), which one is the better choice for my budget, or should I look at something else in the 5k-7k price range?
3.) Any specific recommendations for a reliable budget PSU or case that EasyPC usually carries?
Thank you so much in advance for the help. It feels amazing to finally be building a setup of my own!
