I know gipit kaayo na ang 15k for gaming rigs but challenge pud na on what you can do with 15k. Pwede mulapas gamay sa price but stay with the 15k budget.

For the PSU, I know ilisanan gyud na pero dili na gyud masulod sa budget nga 15k lang. Some decent PSU already cost 2-3k. Ngita nalang ta ug nindot nga pakapin nga PSU.

Let's see what you can build... basin naa pa diay makashare ug E8400 intel nga rig within 15k!

If anyone can build a decent CPU for 15k then why not? Nindot na kaayo ni para pang Internet cafe set-up.

Most CPUs I've seen that have been quoted here are 20-30k above. Just think of this as the ultimate budget CPU thread.

Basin pa diay naay makahimo ug CPU nga gamay ra ug difference in performance from the 20-30k CPUs but costs almost half the price! Hehe.

[simoko]

here's a budget PC for 15k:
- Intel E2160 - 2895.00
- Asrock Wolfdale1333-D667 - 1795.00
- Kingston 2x1GB DDR2-667 - 1790.00
- Hitachi 160GB SATA - 1895.00
- Inno3d 7300GT 512MB - 1995.00
- LG DVD Writer 20x - 1195.00
- Duke DU09 w/ 500W - 1695.00
Total: P13260.00 ---> all prices taken from Gaisano Interpace @ H. Cortes St. Mandaue...
- add 3350.00 for a 17in Giant CRT Monitor kung gusto ka...

pag assembly na lang bro. chop2x palita nga parts para mka save ka, ayaw palit og package.

[istoryanimo]

@mcuyg

if chop2x nga parts ok lang maka save ka...but after sales? maglisod ka.. asa ang guba gyud na parts then pasa-pasa ka ad2.

much better you buy the whole set in one computer shop.

I would suggest AMD's new 780g chipset motherboard. Currently has most powerful builtin videocard (HD3400). The Best price to performance solution.
