THREAD OBJECTIVES:
1. To provide reference for bang-for-the-buck components with the budget gamer in mind.

2. To search for the best combination of cheap components lessening the possibility of excessive bottleneck or overkill for other components.

ok rana imu specs bro for a budget gaming PC. then you can upgrade nlng if nana pd budget.

Advise on the 12K rig:

IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO BE MAINTAINING A GENERIC PSU SPECIALLY WITH A VIDEO CARD THAT REQUIRES A 6-PIN CONNECTOR

But for everybody's reference, here's how much the HD 7750 consumes (Maximum- worst power demand possible)



So even if the a 600w generic psu only puts out 300w, it's still up to the task (TEMPORARILY)..

Updated with a more expensive option. Di lang gyud madalag 20k tungod sa PSU.

[cesar_jr12]

update ko ani... mas cheaper sa 12k nga price for gaming naa pa bah?

[m.garz]

here's my take:

processor: Athlon x2 250--- P2600
motherboard: Asrock n68c-s ucc--- P2150
ram: 2gb Kingston 1333mhz ddr3-- P820
hdd: Samsung 500gb-- P1750
gpu: Inno3d 9800gt ddr3 1gb- P4290
psu: FSP Supersonic 500w- P1910

Total= P13,520
