Help me decide if system is worth the price

[erwin_rommel]

btw, ingna lang ko if di ka mo dayon ana bro kay akoy palit ana. ive got cash in hand

[GuyOfYourDreams]

Medyo good na na siya for a second hand (no issues) pero kung madala nimo hangyo.. hangyo jud..
i suggest that you call out stores & inquire for the prices of each spare then compare it with those prices.
For me, i think 10k will be a good deal for that.
Just get a price list of those items in stores (one store i know the cheapest is the gaisano interpace).

contrary to most post here against the 8400gs

its far more better than the onboard video of the ECS MCP6100 mobo

which has only GForce 6100 Video chip with shared memory

the 8400GS maybe a crap vc but it performs faster than the 6100

and to match the intel e8400 procie performance ( not the price ) u wud need at least an Athlon X4 630 (<<< but its cheaper )

this set-up is a catch and a waste just to let it pass ur hand if u're money capable to buy

but as said..hangyua pud

a discount more makes it a best buy

Come to think of it,....if new games and apps will be multi core hungry then the Athlon II X3 has a one core advantage. Plus if the ts is a gamer, he will end up selling the 8400GS anyway. That's why ako gi specify na kailangan siya magdugang ug video card ug psu sa ako build. And maayo na nang brand new kay naa warranty sa store, kanang used personal warranty nalang imo saligan, plus wala pa ta kabalo if "matungnan siya" some of the components ana padulong na maguba. Hasol2 lang. And almost everyone is telling the ts to upgrade his psu? You kidding? Seasonic PSUs was one of the best there is. I bet most of you wala pa gipanganak gahimo na ug efficient power supplies ang seasonic. So unless li pa kailangan magdugang ug vc higher than an HD5770 then keep the psu.

better new nalan...

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.

what then if this breaks down after a month or so? maka ingon sya "maypa brand-new nalang"?

also post your sources about Nforce 6100 based motherboards breaking down and having high RMA rate? coz it seems every post nmo puro nalang about "guba". ive been selling different Nforce 6100 based motherboards to difference kinds of clients since last 2 yrs and i dont see any problems whatsoever. basin maayo lang jud tingali ako maintainance and mo pick sa ako parts and build it mao i dont have any problems with any build whatsoever... murag kani imoha grudge naman ni against Nvidia and any AMD setups.

also get your facts straight. afaik there is no athlonII x4 940, its PhenomII X4 940 and based on some gaming comparisons, they both perform at the same tier. thats on gaming pa lang. unsa nalang kaha ang performance difference when all cores of Phenom are utilized for a multi-core aware application? Even the Athlon II X3 435 is on the same tier.

i wonder unsa or kinsa imo mga sources, coz its very clear your assumptions are only based on biased and personal opinions....

@TS
comparisons are already given bro. its your choice na po if you would gamble with this unit, or buying new parts since u can build a new setup with that price. lgi the \intel E8400 may be faster in performance, but what do u nid its higher speed for? video encoding? picture or graphics rendering? or uncompressing large zip/rar files? how much real-world performance are we really talking about here?

the 8400 video is indeed faster than 6100/6150se onboard solutions, but what can u game in it anyways? u will still be upgrading anyways coz u will soon realize u cant game on it well. maguwang ra man ni ug onboard videocard by pila ka tier...

unless lang siguro ma hangyo pa ni na price, then i would go for it... if not, i would rather buy something like with a yr warranty no matter how many times it will break down(if maguba man gani)...

just an opinion from a practical user...

mau bitaw akong nabantayan pud. dili lang grudge, bias pa jud. I'd like to know asa siya kuha sa iyang mga 'facts' because it seems to me it's more of 'opinion' and having a hard time distinguishing between the both of them.

my friends client had more than 100 pc for piso-piso

all using ecafe mcp6100+ mobo

to date after a year of operation, more than 10 had died

8 pass thru my hands. 3 had resurrected

that puts it about 10%

and my other client had 3 ecafe mcp6100 on her piso-piso
1 had died and another dying

just too bad it had no comparison with any g31 mobo used on a 100PC cafe or piso-piso


NOW THAT'S a FACT.

While that maybe a fact that 10% have failed in that instance, it is also a fact that using that pc as a piso2x client is not typical pc use. How many people who use internet cafes actually care for the PCs they are using? The fact is, that very few. How many cafes actually maintain their pcs properly? Again, very few. How many cafes actually use good quality psus? The fact there again is very few...
I can say this proves very little in terms of quality.

A good measure for actual quality is feedback from a collection of typical home users. If anyone has actual data on that pls post that because that is more useful.

do u really think sir this was because of the product itself or the lack of maintainance and the proper operation of sorts? i dont think d ni ma consider fact because daghan factors involved...
