My Price-Performance energy efficient rig!

My price-Performance choice parts for my budget conscious Rig.

1st is the processor E5200 (45nm) Pentium 88 dollars (3,400 pesos)

I would also like to point out great power efficiency of the new Pentium DC E5200. It is one of the most power efficient dual-core desktop processors today that offer sufficient performance for the majority of applications.

Overclockers should also be pretty pleased with Pentium DC E5200. It is based on the same core as Core 2 Duo E7000 and can boast very similar overclocking potential, which will be enough to push its performance to the level of top dual-core solutions

2nd for video card is Palit 4670 512 ddr3 Which is Tom’s hardware lowest budget gaming video card editor’s pick for best price performance vcard for vcards under 80 dollars.

It is also energy efficient since it does not need to have an extra power connector.
3rd for the power supply is Gigabyte 500 W PSU. (2,600 pesos)
It has pci express power cable and sata powercables built in.

ever wonder why some pcs keep on shutting down and restarting all the time, One if the major reasons is because of an inadequate or generic powersupply, and that’s why I opted for a gigabyte power supply.

 

4rth My rig has a P5KR Asus Board though this is a mid-high end board, It will cost less in the long run since it will auto shutdown whenever there is a danger of overheating any part in the pc. It is also safe to overclock and is ideal for gaming. Previously I just used CONROE-L Celeron but upgraded to mainstream E5200.

For memory, I;m using just a Kingston ddr2 800 1gb and will eventually purchase a 2x2gb ddr2 1066 that is compatible with my board.

These are parts of my budget but good enough gaming pc that I am using right now.
