mga bro, ngayo lang ko ug suggestions gikan ninyo nga mga master. plano mn gud ko mg.upgrade sa ako pc. galibog ko kung unsa ang unahon pgupgrade from a low end pc to a medium end. (cant afford high end). ako lang ni hinayhinayan ilis kay para dili kaayo ko madak.an.

my current system is:

mother board: P5KPL-AM EPU
procie: Pentium 4 2.8GHz
vc: radeon x550
ram: 2 x 1GB DDR2
HDD: 80GB Samsung
ODD: Samsung DVD-RW
PSU: Generic 350W
Chassis: ATX CHASSIS. (im thinking kani ang ako unang alisdan kay daan na kaayo ug dili na presentable ang hitsura)

thanks in advance sa tabang mga bro.

yup, sakto na ilis casing. if di kaayo ni for gaming imo rig, ang pakapin na mga 500watts generic psu will do for the meantime.

im assuming this is a dual-core processor dba? in this case suggest to replace the videocardat least Nvidia GT 240 or Ati 4670 will do with the stock powersupply from a new casing. costs about 3-4K

the rest of the parts kaya pa

1. Mobo + Procie (This would be my top priority)
2. PSU (get a decent one)
3. Vcard (Optional)

That's how i would definitely go.

dili pa ni dual core ako processor bro. actually bro im upgrading this for civilization 5. taas kaayo ang system requirements maong kinahanglan na mg.upgrade. ug for aesthetic purposes pud kay medyo daan na gyud ang hitsura ang ako pc.

if your basing your need on Civilization5 aw daghan2 jud ka mailisan, not to mention dungan pa. much better to buy a new cpu than to upgrade existing parts. coz ang ma upgrade nmo incase u want to play the game at decent performance kai:

1. dual-core processor
2. powersupply
3. videocard

and i dont think u want to settle for minimum system requirements

kabalo gyud ko ana mga bro. pero kulang pa sa budget kung mgbuy tibuok gyud na computer. maong usa usahon lng usa naku. ask lng ko kung unsa ug unang ilisan. ako option as of now kay, case or psu usa. tapus ang processor. then ang vc na cguro. what you think mga bro?

if you want to play civilization V... then you should upgrade your processor first... minimum requirement would be: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 64 2.0 GHz

+1. Strategy games in general are mostly cpu bound rather than gpu. Even at 20fps, ok ra kaayo for most strategy games.

If nahan kag case unahon pwede nako e sell ako used cm 690 case nimo but problem is basin mag lisod ang uban wires sa generic ng psu. bottom mount mni gd, so kelangan kag extensions or dunganan nimo detso ug new psu para long wires daan
