need advice: setup system unit 15k budget:gaming

[jmm4515]

@ this budget.. i would save by getting amd than i-series and spend more on my videocard,it may be slower in most computing needs but not much on gaming unless pushed graphics to its limits.. but i doubt ur gona do that with this budget...

Yep, I agree, and you can depend on integrated 4200 radeon gpu, mao ni ako gmit, buy nlng sa ug 4x1gb nga ram(note: dpat pareha brand ug speed ang 4) para mutabang sa gpu para pd tiguman nlng nmo ang video card para sa future .. mao ni ako g.buhat rn nya nakaduwa pa ko ug NFS hot pursuit II @ 1024x768.. g.overclock d.i nako ang gpu @ 1030mhz...
tip nako nmo pili ang board nga naay sideport memory if go ka sa amd series...
specs nako

phenom II x3 2.6 oc to 3.5 and unlocked 4th core,
gigabyte (kalimot ko sa model) bsta 785 ang chipset
integrated radeon 4200 gpu @ 1030mhz
OCZ gold ed. 2x2gb@800 mhz,
seagate 160 gb hd(way budget ..)
500w Thermaltake psu 80 plus silver..
and 19 inch acer monitor....

Ka nice sa setup, kanus a kaha ko maka upgrade sa ako PC, huhuuhuhuhu, paita aning pobre ta oi.

4 x 1GB RAM are more susceptible to errors compared with a 2 x 2GB configuration.

2 x 2GB way better cuz it uses less power since its only a pair and having 4 sticks makes no additional bandwidth difference if the board is only DUAL Channel.

processor :

Intel Core i3 2100 - 3.1GHz - 512KB L2 - 3MB L3 : 5,395.00 +/-

AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE - 3.2GHz - 1MB L2 - 6MB L3 : P 4,100.00

Processor, Amd PhenomII X2 555 3.2ghz (black edition) Philippines - 3143613


"thinking that newer 555 batches are perfectly working phenom II x4 955's"

almost same performance : AnandTech - Bench - CPU

sir ganahan ko ani nga setup pero wala lang labot ang mouse og keyboard?pila kaha tanan?asa pod ni mapalit ni setupa?

sir nabasahan nko sa forum kusog mukaon kurente ang amd and is not durable as intel series brand..

sir nabasahan nko sa forum kusog mukaon kurente ang amd and is not durable as intel series brand..

depende ra oi. .w/ amd you get what you paid for. .w/ intel you also get what you paid for,but for a higher cost. .there would'nt be amd fanboys kung ingana kabati ang amd. .& w/ that budget I think you have no other choice..i'd follow boss werty's advice..
this might help enlighten you

Source: Power Consumption Results : Efficiency Comparison: Sandy Bridge Vs. Intel And AMD CPUs

Power Consumption Results:

System idle power on the integrated graphics systems is almost identical if you compare Intel’s current Core i3/i5 with the new Sandy Bridge generation. The difference we measured at the plug was only 1 W. But keep in mind that both of the new Core i5 and i7 processors are based on four processing cores, while the Core i5-661 and Core i3-530 only offer two physical cores. We find it significant that the AMD systems require 50% more idle power in case of the Phenom II X4 and most than 90% higher idle power on the Phenom II X6. Remember: this is without being faster in most of the workloads.
You could argue that AMD power consumption can be decreased by using lower-power processors. However, this would also be the case on the Intel side. After all, there are S- and T-class Sandy Bridge-based parts. Overall, there is no arguing about this massive difference in idle power consumption.

The peak power consumption readings are interesting as well. Keep in mind that we’re talking about CPUs with integrated graphics here. However, the load only applies to the CPU cores.
The Clarkdale-based Core i3/i5 chips go up to 82 and 89 W at the plug, which is a rather good result for an office PC. However, the Sandy Bridge platforms don’t reach significantly higher power consumption (114 W for the Core i5 with four cores and 6 MB cache or 136 W for the Core i7 with 8 MB cache and slightly more clock speed). Both AMD platforms require way more power.

Discrete Graphics Power Consumption

Obviously, adding a graphics card increases system idle power. This is the case across the board, as you can see a pretty straight increase on all systems: it’s an addition of roughly 30 W compared to the power consumption from an integrated platform. Keep in mind that the numbers here now show Intel's LGA 1156-based Lynnfield processors, whereas the integrated LGA 1156 systems employ Clarkdales.

The peak power consumption numbers are interesting, though, as they show the difference between Intel’s 45 nm processors and the new 32 nm generation of quad-core chips. Peak CPU power is lower on Sandy Bridge despite clearly improved performance. This is promising for the efficiency evaluation.

previous k8 processors has no match in terms of power effeciency vs the last gen even the current core i series

sir sorry di kau ko kasabot sa picture technically.. pero murag i go for amd now ky cheaper xa makapalit nkog kusog nga vcard...hmm amd phenom 2 x4 goro ko ani...hehe salmt kau..

edit:

what mobo man nindot para sa amd?
