[captchillz]

Hi guys. I'm new here and I'm kinda confused with AMD vs Intel. Nvidia vs AMD Radeon. I wanna play BF3 with my friends but I have a limited budget. I currently have a laptop (Acer Aspire 4755G) i7-2670QM, 4GB RAM and 2 GB gt540m. but average fps is about 30fps(low settings).


Approximate Purchase Date:First Week of February
Budget Range:500$ - 600$
System Usage from Most to Least Important:Gaming,Programming,Photo Editing,Video Editing
Parts Not Required:I need all parts in a set.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:If possible, please suggest shops here in my place(Philippines)
Country: Philippines
Additional Comments:All peripherals included in the budget.

P.S. In my place there is a 13,000 Php (approx. 317$). The specs are:
CPU: i3-3220
RAM: 4GB DDR3 RAM
MOBO: not sure about this but it's compatible with those cpu and ram
Optical Drive included
500GB Hard Drive
With A4TECH Keyboard and Mouse
600W Power Supply
Casing(don't know which one.)

how about video card and monitor? what can you suggest? is a 15.6" monitor good enough for playing? and a 15.6" monitor will save me money for video card because of it's lower resolution..

 

[AMD Radeon]

15,6 is relatively enough if you enjoy playing in laptop screen, their size are similar

video :
7750 = 80 usd
7770 = 100 usd
7850 = 150+

btw make sure you PSU is a good quality brand
antec, xfx, corsair, seasonic

for your own sake. you dont want to ruin your PC in a year with dirt cheap crxp 20-40 USD psu

how much is the mobo btw? and can a 7750 play battlefield 3 on a 15.6" monitor? i want a decent fps. stable at 60+ fps if possible..

 

[AMD Radeon]

asrock h77m is priced in US at 69
7750 can play bf3 at mid setting at 1366x768 resolution

 

[captchillz]

well thanks dude. i hope i can get that mobo and card in my place.. and is truerated power supply good?

 

[AMD Radeon]

for PSU, stick with antec, xfx, corsair, seasonic
and you will be fine 400W+ is enough

so this is going to be my build? correct me if i'm wrong..
CPU: i3-3220
MOBO: Asrock H77M
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz
Graphics Card: Radeon HD 7750
Power Supply: Any Corsair (400W+)
Casing: Is generic casing enough? or I need the branded ones?
Storage: 500GB Hard Disk

 

[AMD Radeon]

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz >> get 1600Mhz, price is usually similar
corsair 430W is popular, it is usually cheap because of mass production
xfx 450W comes as #2 choice

generic casing will do
