Help me decide if system is worth the price

[bogschess]

daghan salamat sa tanan inputs, i will consider the pros and cons.

[werty]

@TS bro, i think kana iya price is still hangyu-able. sakto si sempron, better get brand new if gamay nalang difference besides decent naman pud mga onboard videocard karon probably better han crappy 8400's...

another vote for a brand new system, unless hangyuable maybe mga 9k :P

[archt_vin]

+1 ko kay boss sempron ug kay werty

^^ thx for the tip

To give you an idea, how far a 12k budget can go, w/ brand new components.

prices from Gaisano Interpace

Athlon II X3 435 2.9ghz - 3650
ECS GF6100PM-M2Lv3.0 AM2/3 - 1995
Geforce 6100 - 0
Hitachi/WD/Samsung 320GB SATA - 1795
Kingston 2GB DDR2 PC800 - 2050
LG DVD-Writer - 1095
Duke Duo 1350 w/ 500w psu - 1395

Total 11980

Tigum nalang para sa vc ug psu.

Advantage:

Brand new vs Used for 1 year already
Multi-core vs Dual-core

Disadvantage:

Onboard vc vs dedicated ( 8400GS is crap anyway, I'm sure you'll upgrade later on )
Generic vs branded psu
A bit faster C2D 8400 ( on dual-core limited apps ) vs the Athlon II X3

C2de8400 vs athlon II x3? theyre not even close. e8400 is on a different level and even athlon II X4 940 it still cant beat that c2d e8400. plus a nforce chipset? nforce chipsets have lots of problems now a days unlike before thats why they have high rate of rma's. whats the use of that 1 yr warranty if it has a bigger probability of breaking after a year?
i rather get that used 12.5k e8400 setup coz its very stable and that price is already a steal. just upgrade your psu to a better one.
