ewww. Wag sa PCX. overpriced dyan.

Go to PC HUB where most of the things are cheaper.

Ill check PChub

Budget is 35k to 40k PHP.

The other PSU I was looking at was a Corsair TX series 80PLUS 750w

 

[cutebeans]

No. You don't need 750w. A good 400w can power a 6850 lol.

Wait let me make you a build. PC hub has combo with Cases and quality Power supplies that save you at least $500.

I deleted some of the PSUs. These 2 are the best for the price and quality. You only need about 500 watts though. 600 for future proofing.


I would get the NZXT Source 210 Elite if it were me, it is a pretty great case which have gotten alot of praises.
If you don't want that the Elite 430 is pretty good too.

You need to get an account in TipidPC so you can get the prices listed in PChub.

If you really want your build to last a long time. Getting an 6950 or 6970 would be great. Although hindi na siya worth ng price/performance.

Anyway, your parts will be assembled for free if you buy it here.

I'm checking the prices in PCHub now and its almost 1k difference per part with PCX lol.

I checked a wattage calculator and set capacitor aging to 50% and it said I need min 528w that's why I picked a 600w psu.

Will be going over the build again with PCHub prices.

Thanks cutebeans!!

 

[cutebeans]

Made you a build! It will be the best for the price. You might want to get an H67 motherboard though.

Hahaha. Good luck pre.

 

[Drannor]

I'm checking it now. The build I made with PCX parts was around 40k lol and I almost bought that build yesterday amf.

Any suggestions for a H67 board? I wanted the cheapest board I can get with the first build that was why I went with a H61 but PCHub prices are great.

 

[cutebeans]

Yes my friend. They will assemble it for free.

Asus H67 motherboard.

Anyway, ASUS and Asrock are pretty much good. Gigabyte din pwede.

I'm just looking for reviews for the NZXT Source 210 Elite and HEC Rapter II 600w as I'm not familiar with them. Will let them know about your referral. Thanks again!!

 

[cutebeans]

That case is one of the best for the price.

Hec Rapter II. Don't worry, that's the power supply my brother uses and it's great.
