this is the specs of my newly acquired pc by the way:

and by the way, im kinda confused on which is actually a better quad proc, Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 or Q8200? The Q6600 is over a year older than the Q8200, but from most of the specs, it seems that the Q6600 is better, that's what my friend suggested and as you can see, that's what i got for my rig. i read some reviews, and most people suggests Q6600 over Q8200. what do you guys think?

try to compare their essentials. click Q6600 and Q8200.

double post. aw snap.

Intel Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 is more than 2 years old.
If you're not into overclocking,
You should have opted for the Intel® Core™2 Quad Q8200 which is newer and efficient.
Cost only P8,150 @ Gaisano Interface.

Imaster Pro 500w - get a better one. This can cause you trouble.

waaa trouble like what? omg. can you like explain what's that about sir? tnx so much.

Imaster Pro 500w is a generic PSU.
Generic PSUs cannot deliver their labeled power.
Generic PSUs noise level is outside specs at any wattage.

If you treasure your quadcore machine, get a branded PSU.
