Anyone can give us a advice on motherboard?

The mobo has a USB 3.0.


How about the videocard?


Will all this specs has no problems on compatibility mobo + Videocard + processor?

In what country will he be purchasing?

Looks like you already chose a motherboard: Asus P8H61-M LE/USB3

The processor and motherboard are compatible.

I don't know about the RAM, not enough info. The Kingston may be fine.

In Philippines.

I forgot to put the amount.

Ok the formula.

Lets say this

P 45 = 1$

Processor
Intel Core i5 2400 3.1 Ghz = P 8,500.00 / $ 188.88

Motherboard
P8H61-M LE/USB3 = P 3,700.00 / $82.22

Videocard
Sapphire 1 gig HD5670 DDR5 = P 3,820.00 / $84.888

Hard Disk
Samsung or Western Digital 1TB = P 4,000.00 / $88.88

Memory
Kingstone 4 Gig DDR3 (2 Pcs) = P 1,240.00 / $ 27.5

Monitor
Samsung 21.5 LED = P 7,500.00 / $166.7

Casing
Orient 007 ATX 600 W (Red) = P 1,600.00 / $35.5

Total $674


Well this are the max converted price i put.

What about a power supply?

That looks like a pretty good system, if the RAM is compatible.

If you order from Microcenter, you can get a combo deal on a Core i5 2500k processor for $180 and a motherboard at $60 off.

@ignatzatsonic,

Casing has a power supply of 600W.



@dannyjerome0, thanks but i we want to buy components only in our location so their is no problems.

I need advice if all these will work with no problems?

Does the Casing good?

If i remember seing the actual it can be putted 3 exhaust fan + 1 Side panel fan.

Somebody else from the Philippines was asking about a system on this forum a week or so ago.

It seems that the power supplies available through most sources in the Philippines are unknown brands and may not be high quality.

A case and decent power supply in the USA would cost at least 100 dollars.

A decent 600 watt power supply alone would cost at least 70 or 80 dollars.

If you have no choice, I guess you need some good luck. But I would try to get a better power supply if possible. Not more powerful, just better quality.

A case with 600 watt PSU for 35 dollars is probably poor quality, but may work for a while. I'd worry about the PSU more than the case.
