    Default Before I buy the rig, need final advice.


    So after months of saving, I finally have enough to buy my first gaming rig which should cost about P25000. Pasensya na, highschool pa ko mao na dugay ko nakasave. HAHA.

    Anyway, I need final advice before I go to the shop tomorrow to buy the parts. I'm just aiming to get a budget rig that can run games like SC2, DotA2, and the like at high graphics. Not even necessary ultra. (Which is why I toned down the 6870 to 6850.) So any advice or feedback appreciated.

    PROCIE: Intel i3-2120 (3.3Ghz, 3MB Cache ) @ P4950.00
    MOBO: Asus P8H61M LE USB 3.0 @ P3500.00
    GPU: 1GB ATI Radeon 6850 DDR5 256BIT @ P7295.00 (was supposed to go 6870 but I was told that 6850 should be sufficient for my needs)
    HDD: SATA2 500Gig Seagate 7200rpm @ P3395.00
    RAM: Memory DDR3 4GB 1333Mhz Kingston @ P1095.00
    PSU: Silverstone Strider Essential SST-ST50F-ES 500w @P3020.00
    CASING: Bisan unsa ra nga naa sa GI. HAHA basta maigo sa budget.

    That's around... P23255. Meh P24000.00

    Your budget is 25,000.00 right? You still have 1,700.00 left. Why not get HD6870? you still have spare bucks left. Other parts are ok.

    He's probably going to use the 1,700 for his casing.

    TS, you can probably save a bit if you look at the Buy and Sell section for GPU, Procie and Mobo since many are upgrading and selling their old parts.

    What will waiting half a year do? lol.

    Yeah, no plans on OC'ing. I'm just wondering if this is enough for gaming even though I don't OC. Wait, can you even OC a 2120?

    2120 cant be OCed..

    And yes TS, for SC2 and DOTA2, the 2120 and 6850 will even exceed your expectations..
