For that amount of money, you can buy a GTS 450 and can play most games at medium to high settings. Bear in mind that powerful videocards demand robust power supplies (PSU). If the power supply that you are presently using came with the computer casing, then it is most probably the generic type. You must purchase a branded, true rated PSU to accomodate the more power videocard.

 

PSU brands that I would recommend are: HEC Cougar, Corsair, Antec, Enermax, Silverstone, FSP. Make sure that you purchase at least 500 watts.

 

Hope this helps.

i second emotion hehe.

kung ang power supply mo e kasama na sa binili mong casing e 100% generic yan. (imaster, rise, LGi, etc..)

 

lahat ng sinabing brand ni civicVTi ay ok mga branded at true rated yan.

 

ngayon ang pagbabasehan mo na lang e yung GPU mong bibilin depende kung anong requirement nya. kung 12pin power connector (2x6pin) or single 6pin power connector.

 

get at least 550watts with 2x6pin power connector.

Stay away from iMaster power supply, they are worse than most generic power supply. Do not be deceive by the 'professional' looks of it's cable.

iMaster uses low grade components that might damage your pc components in the future.

i'm retiring my Nvidia 8500 GT after 1 and a half year of service. i'm a semi hard core gamer, currently playing Metro 2033, world of warcraft, mass effect 2, DA series, starcraft II and so far i'm having a bit of lag when i pulled out hard on the graphics. any advise on what graphic card i could get next?? thanks in advance!

 

btw, future games that i want to play are: H.A.W.X. 2, DA 2, dead space 2, diablo III and a whole lot more.

 

Depends on the budget and the size of your monitor/LCD. I would recommend the new Sapphire 6850 if you want a mid-to-high performance card. It's P8430.00 in PCHub. It plays SC2 and DA smoothly on high resolutions and it will definitely run HAWX 2, DA2 and Diablo III as well.

 

Around P5000+ budget, the GTS 450 will do just fine. But don't expect very high fps.

[shadowbroker]

thank you so much sa mga advise. will start canvasing na for those items. my total budget is arnd 8k for both Vcard and power supply. hope pasok naman. thanks again mga sir and advance happy Christmas!!!!

@shadow broker

 

kung 5850 type mo eto power requirements nya

500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors

 

kung 6850 naman

500 Watt or greater power supply recommended. wala syang 6pin power connector mas tipid to sa kuryente syempre dapat 500watts true rated hindi generic

You need about 7t for a gtx-460 to play games at 1366*768, I don't advise you to go lower than that.
