Making an affordable gaming rig

[windupbird]

mga bros,

I was wondering kung naay makatabang mug inform nako.. planu ko magupgrade sa akong desktop pc, i'm getting the i5 sandy bridge with 8 gb ram kay affordable na karon pero unsa may pinakanindot nga video card nga dili kaayo sakit sa wallet? hehe. I'm looking at a geforce gtx 460 pero mahal-mahal man(8,500 php). I'm going to make a gaming rig so that i can play the newer games at high resolutions. Any suggestions? Thanks!

dpnd sa games na imu planu duwaon karon ug sa future. the performance of GTX460 is excellent, for it's price. if budget nimu is around 8.5k, GTX460 or 6850 would fit.. naa pd 2nd hand vcards available you can purchase sa buy and sell.

Is purchasing second hand video cards safe, bros? I have a sinking feeling nga they tend to break or die out on you.

[Lingaw-lingaw_sa_payag]

dpnd pd sa history sa vcard. if maayu pagka amping ok ra. but most sellers, if not all, will say that their card is in good shape. its risky so i would suggest you to be extra careful. Not all 2nd hand items malmal nah. if you have the money, better buy a new one with warranty.

[windupbird]

Agreed. I'm looking to save though, so I'm keeping an eye out for any sales or price drops on decent video cards. I'll def. check out the 6850 sa radeon kay basin it is a better deal.

[shryock]

6850 is nice. but if you happen to see 6870, go for that instead..
its a rare find though..
