  ^ pasok na po kaya yung 430w? specifically Seasonic SS-430GB Active PFC F3? thankyou po sa sagot

  ^
  
  pasok yan.
  
  kung gusto mo mas detailed eto yung breakdown.
  
  65w for i5
  75w for 1050Ti
  20w for (ram, storage, cooler)
  100w for extra buffer lang.
  
  so ang maximum if ever nasa 260w lang ang pinaka mataas maaabutan mo.

  520W ay sufficient na even mag upgrade ka to GTX 1080 TI kung mag SLI/Crossfire ka naman 620W to higher for bigger allowance anything else sapat na ang 500W higher sa system na may single monster gpu

  Mga master patulong naman po. naguguluhan ako kung anong video card bibilhin ko for gaming purpose lang (DOTA 2,RAGNAROK PH,NBA 2k17).. eto po ung build ko
  i5 2300
  P8H61
  2x 4GB Memory
  
  and ang gagmatin ko pong Display Resolution is 1920x1080 22" AOC LED..
  
  kung ok lang ba ako mag GTX 550 ti/ 560 or GTX 750 ti or mag GTX 760 na ako.. around 3.5k lang kasi budget ko eh 2nd hand bibilhin ko.. and hingi na rin po ako ng advice kung ano ung mga dapat tandaan and itest sa pagbili ko ng VC.. and anong Budget meal na PSU po ang maireommend nyo po para sa build ko, almost 24/7 po sana ako maglalaro
  
  Thankyou po mga ka TPC and maraming salamat po sa saasgot

  @Aphio
  
  Hanap ka sir ng pinakamalakas na videocard na fit sa budget mo. Kung makakabili ka ng GTX 760 go for it kasi medyo malakas din ang requirement sa GPU ng NBA2K17.
  
  Regarding PSU... since balak mo maglaro or gamitin ang PC ng 24/7... invest ka sa magandang PSU tulad ng Seasonic S12II 520W. Kung tight ang budget, hanap ka ng Seasonic ECO series 400W or 500W PSU. Pero konti nalang din ang price difference between Seasonic S12II and Seasonic ECO series so suggestion ko aim for S12II series para 5 year ang warranty :-)

• Aphio on 12 Jul 17 @ 10:04 AM #

  thanks sir @sleepygeepy
  
  cguro nga po mag Seasonic S12II 520W n lang ako. ipriority ko n lang cguro PSU, tapos ung Phantom RAKK case n lang bilhin ko hehe
  
  eto po ba sir pwede na rin??..

  ^ Start by unplugging your cpu from that garbage that masquerades as an AVR. You can keep everything else plugged into it except your cpu. Plug your rig direct to the outlet and see if it changes the way your rig performs.
  
  Next, get your psu cleaned. A burst of compressed air will clean out the accumulated dust and help the components dissipate heat properly. BTW, you can't open up the psu or else you will void the 5-year warranty. So changing the fan is also a big NO unless you're willing to throw away your warranty coverage. If having the psu cleaned still doesn't improve its performance, then move on to step 3..
  
  Your Seasonic psu is covered by an excellent 5-year local warranty with Helix. If all else fails, request for a RMA of your psu. Find their website and get cracking!
