My Budget Gaming and Editing PC!!!


Hello there guys, first of all even though its late, I would like to greet you Happy New Year!!!! For today's entry, I'll be sharing with you my budget build which I built for myself to be used for editing and gaming purposes. Before we start, this build is only for the internal components, no other parts included since I used my own chassis. This build will only apply to those who already have some parts available that are ready to be used. But since I'm helping you build your own, I'm throwing in some parts that might help you to build your own.

My feature will consist of the ff:

New Parts:

CPU (Processor)
MoBo (Motherboard)
*AM Heatsink & Fan (*After Market)

Waiting Parts:

Optical Drive
HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
GPU (Graphics Card Unit)
RAM
PSU
Chassis (Rare here in the Philippines)

To make this feature a short one and not too boring for you to read, I'll provide the brand, few specs, and prices.

To Start Off!!!

For the CPU, I have chosen the AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz (4.1ghz Turbo) 14mb Total Cache 6-core Black Edition Piledriver. A very powerful yet a bang for the buck, this CPU only costs P5,400.00 in PCX (PC Express).



For the MoBo, I chose the Asrock 960GM - VGS3 FX Micro-ATX, 16gb RAM capacity. A very nice motherboard that you can buy out there. This one costs P2,050.00.


And now, the After Market Heatsink with Fan. The Deep Cool Gammaxx S40, this one is compatible with the newest chipset i.e Intel LGA1155, LGA1156, AMD AM3, AM3+. This one has a pre-applied thermal paste for ease and quick installation. For more info about this AMHF, visit Deep Cool's website, this one costs P1,150.00.

Optical Drive: P890.00


HDD (Hard Disk Drive): P2,400.00 (sata ports, 7200rpm)


GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): P2,100.00, for this one, had to use my old GPU which is the Powercolor HD 5570 1gb DDR3 V2, still waiting for the GPU to arrive.

RAM: P1,080.00, 2gb ddr3 1333 x2


PSU (Power Supply Unit): P2,750 (for my main hardware) Thermaltake LitePower BE 500w True-Rated.
