12K Gaming CPU for the Budget Gamer

[gomugomu]

Ngano diay kuno? Dili ba kuno maka-upgrade from i3 to i5 or i7?

If you have enough moolah, why not lahos sa store then tudlo lang ka kung asa ka ganahi? But since you are in this thread, as with most of us, it would be safe to assume that you are maximizing your budget. And i assure everybody that between an i5 and i7, the difference in framerates is very minimal.

Dako ug temp ug consumption ang i7? By standards of yesteryears, it's even frugal. More quad-core amds consume more...
NEED ug nindot nga cooling system? Believe it or not, if intel deemed that necessary, they would have shipped the chip with a watercooling system rather than an hsf..

ingon ra man siya na i5 ako paliton unya iya ilisan ug i7 (spare niya)...kansi man cya kung i3 ako paliton unya i7 i.ilis...hehe.. murag mag i3 nlang ko ani..tigom pa ani dah..ako budget pa ron kay sa Vcard ug case.

Ei!! Thanks bro. I think he intends to use the hdmi out for audio return. Unfortunately, wala pa koy nakit-an nga ing-ana nga pc monitor. Ambot kung naay mga field monitor nga naay hdmi out. I think this case is similar to home theater set-ups not having any hdmi in (or any component input perse). I have been trying to look for one before..

ah i see... thanks pud bro for enlightening myself... output gyud diay ni... not just input ang need sa nag inquire...

Aw, I see. Kalisod ba aning budgeted oi. PS3 ra ma-afford for gaming. Hehe.

Back to the topic, I do have here old PC, planning to give it an upgrade after macomplete si PS3 setup. Hehe.

Specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 256MB RAM, built-in VC, 40GB HDD, and of course with case.

Any recommendations?
