This thread is about building my High End QuadCore RIG with most of the items (90%) coming from istorya.net users and the rest of the items are recycled from my old PC.

The purpose of building this RIG is to have high end 2nd hand / used parts but could really perform on high end applications / games.

When I say high end, it is only comparable to the Core2Quad / Core2Duo family. Intel i-series is clearly away and out of this comparison. Also im considering non-generic and common parts (example: generic psu) and the usability of the parts if ever this RIG would be upgraded.

A little thought as well. Rarely you will find a seller that sells an i7 / i5 / i3 build or parts only for i-series setup like mobo, proc and memory (DDR3) at the buy and sell section so that's the reason im sticking to an LGA775 RIG because there are a lot of sellers at the buy and sell section that sell spare parts for an LGA775 RIG.

I will be updating this thread once or twice everyday on the progress of my build.

So let's start with the buid.

PROCESSOR: Intel Core 2 Quad 6600
purchased from Simoko @ Php5,300
Originally I decided to have a Core2Duo E8400 rig but since naglisod gyud ko pangita processor alone since the sellers prefer to have both mobo and cpu purchased in 1 package then i decided to have a Q6600 instead since it could be overclocked to a stable 3 Ghz.


MOTHERBOARD: Asus P5QL Pro
purchased from St1tch3s @ Php2,500
I was looking for a P45 chipset. I was specifically looking at buying a P5Q Pro series mobo but i got a bargain from St1tch3s for his P5QL Pro P43 chipset mobo selling @ Php2,500 only. I was lucky to see the ad within 10 mins from posting and i got the mobo within 2 hours from his post.



this is just the first installment of the thread. Check out later as I update my build.

Thanks.

suya ko imo mobo brad, dugay nko ngita ani nga mobo kay kasagaran baligya ron sa store ky mga uATX nlang with only 2 dimm sockets nga asus LGA755.
