Antec has good PSUs comparable to Silverstone, sometimes even better..
Even this entry-level 500w Antec can handle torture from that 5870. Overload tests show it can supply up to 640w before protection kicks in. Costs around $54 sa Newegg.

Re: Finally, had decided to build again a gaming rig
ok, had narrowed down my choices today... since ganihang buntag, wla man hinoon ko nahimo dri sa office... harharhar... ang pag research and decision making ra gyud aning gpu... tsk tsk tsk... hhhaaayyyy... so, here are the choices with their actual prices.
> XFX ATI HD 6970 (2GB DDR5)... 1,799 rmb... roughly 11.7k php
> XFX ATI HD 6950 (2GB DDR5)... 1,399 rmb... roughly 9.1k php
> XFX ATI HD 5870 (1GB DDR5)... 1,148 rmb... roughly 7.5k php... original choice
> XFX ATI HD 4870X2 (2GB DDR5)... 700 rmb... roughly 4.6k php
and to narrow down pa gyud the choices... kani na lang duha...
> XFX ATI HD 5870 (1GB DDR5)... 1,148 rmb... roughly 7.5k php
> XFX ATI HD 4870X2 (2GB DDR5)... 700 rmb... roughly 4.6k php
then looking on this review (link below), mas taas man ug gamay ang HD 4870X2 compared sa HD 5870... then sa actual price kay mas barato... mas maka save ko. basically, my choice now is the HD 4870X2... babalik ka rin ko nya dah... hehehe... mga kapatids, para sa inyoha, sakto ba ko sa akoang decision... application will be BF3, UT3 (kara-an naman ni na game) ug other old and new games... this card, the HD 4870X2 is a directx 10 compatible gpu dba, dili sya directx 11. hinoon, i'm not a game addict. this hobby is just another alternative for me other than biking/cycling and playing musical instruments... pawala sa homesickness... again, i need your inputs on the pros and cons of this card with respect to my set-up... i3-2120, 8GB mem and Windows 7... hdd will be a 500 GB WD (green)... monitor will be a 20 inch AOC razor (from my current set-up (ibton lang from the relic rig kun mag game) ... resolution will be limited by the monitor though... max is only 1600 x 900...

boss, palitunon pa nmo na ang 48xx series? if so bro tinuod na maka minus ka sa initial cost, but ang newer cores(like sa 69xx series) has better gaming features(optimized?), efficiency and power consumption so its a factor din to consider getting those newer cards if mu palit man lang ka.
IMHO lang ni

Re: Finally, had decided to build again a gaming rig
mao lagi bro... initial cost kay barato pero in the long run, alkanse ta... mo dako ang gasto kay mag upgrade naman pud ta... tsk tsk tsk... palitonon pa gyud ni ang gpu for the gaming rig... bali, naabot naman dri ang relic gpu para sa pc sa akoang anak, kani lang sa akoang gamiton samtang wala pa ko maka decide kun unsa ang new card. ma pareho nya napud ko aning MoDT (Pentium M 770) set up nko... agp 8x pa man hinoon ang VC ani... relic man lagi... hehehe... palit dayon ko sa HD3650 pero, bitin man sa games. naa unta HD3850 na mas kusog, wla nako gi tan-aw pag decision analysis... considerable gyud hinoon ang price difference nila... 3x ang price ato compared sa HD3650...
basta, tanan akoang gi consider... saunang panahon, enthusiast man lagi ko aning PC, nag baligya man pud ko ug PC components before when i was in college... dako kaayo ko gasto sa upgrade pero, unay man ko sa supplier, dili ra mahal kunohay if i-compare sa price sa shops (wla pa ang mga malls ato na time... wala pa'y SM, Ayala ug Country Mall... sugod pa sila ug build sa buildings nila...)... taod2x na gyud ko na undang then karon kay balik napud pero, i'll make sure na para sa gaming PC lang ning itch... dili na mag sige lang ko ug upgrade like the old days... hehehe...
you're point is very well taken bro... thanks...

6950 flashed to 6970 = stock 6970 (mas cheaper pa)
