-Graphic card's slot or interface sa imong motherboard
-Video card power consumption
-Video card Size (if maigo ba sa imong CPU case)

Kanang memory type sa video card (DDR,DDR2,DDR3,DDR5) dili na siya dependent sa graphic card slot.

Notes:

This budget rig will be used mainly for CAD 2D/3D Modeling and Rendering, and some gaming(SC2 or BF3).
I'm planning to fit these in a Micro-Atx Chassis for space saving/aesthetic purposes.
I want minimum power consumption. I have no plans to overclock this.
Ideal budget is 25K including chassis. Next year pa sad ko magstart ug assemble ani.

My current build:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555BE unlocked to X4
MOBO: Asrock 880GM-LE
RAM: Kingston 1X2gb DDR3
GPU: none
HDD: Hitachi 500gb SATA 7200rpm
ODD: LG IDE
PSU: FSP Supersonic 500W
CASE: Coolermaster Elite 330

Here's my new build:

PROC: Intel Core i5-3470 (3.2G) @ 8050 -PCQB
MOBO: Asrock B75M-DGS (Micro-Atx) @ 2500 -PCX
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD7770 @ 5400 -PCQB Palit Daytona GTX 650TI @ 6550 -PCQB (see suggestion)
RAM: G.Skill RipJaws X 8gb (2x4gb)(Blue) @ 2100 -CAC
HDD: 1.0TB WD Blue Sata3 7200rpm @ 3550 -PCX
PSU: Antec Neo 520w@ 2200 -PCX (see future upgrades)
ODD: Asus 24x SATA @ 770 -PCX
Case: Fractal Core 1000 @ 1520 -CAC (see future upgrades)
________
SUBTOTAL = 23,520.00

Future Upgrades:

PSU: I will just use my current PSU(FSP Supersonic 500W) and upgrade/change it puhon makatigom with maybe this one: FSP Blue Storm II 500W. Blue akong theme.
CASE: I will just use my current chassis(Coolermaster Elite 330) and buy a smaller case(for Micro Atx) later. Not sure yet what to buy.
CPU COOLER: DEEPCOOL Iceberg Pro CPU Cooler @ 1100 -CAC

Suggestions:

-Someone from TPC suggests to change the GPU to Palit Daytona GTX 650TI (suits me better coz of CUDA feature) @ 6550 -PCQB

Please tell me your suggestions/comments if I need to change something to further enhance/economize this rig or if needed stretch the budget a lil in favor for a better option. Salamat

My thought is: Why change your 555BE unlocked to x4 when it is still fast enough? If akoy pangutan-on, mopalit na lang ko ug additional 4gb mems and a 670 gtx and set aside my urge for a bling-bling rig. That way youll end up not with a budget Intel rig but with a killer amd rig..

Just my 2 cents though.. Merry christmas!!

(Sorry for the late reply bro.)

Thanks for the reply sir
Hahaha. You got me! I was thinking na medyo old na akong set-up..
Ok I will try to prioritize my need more than my wants. Ok I will try to change my game plans..

Salamat! Merry Christmas!

P.S.

How about MSI GTX 660TI 2GB GDDR5 Power Edition @ 15500-(CAC) sir? Worth it ba ang 6k~7K additional cost for MSI GTX 670 Power Edition 2GD5/OC @ 22,000 (CAC) ?
Kai I'm planning nga ihapak na lang ang savings for CPU Cooler, RAM, etc.

NP bro. Also it will save you from the hassle of the long and tedious process of reformatting, reinstalling your apps and downloading gigabytes of updates and patches..

Pwede pud bro.. Payter man gihapon ng 660ti. IMO 7k is worth it depending on your needs. For rendering, not to much though. But for sure, the additional cost going from a 650ti to a 660ti is sure worth it..

Ok sir. Noted
Lamat.

Since I've read this: MSI Caught Overvolting GTX 660 Ti, 670 Power Edition Cards

I'll just pick Palit GTX 660Ti @ 14,200.00 (CAC) but how about Inno3D iChill HerculeZ GeForce GTX 660 @ 10,600.00 (PCX)? I can reduce the cost further for around ~4k. Hapak na pud for other important upgrades like new monitor(I currently use Samsung SyncMaster 733NW 17") I think I would need higher resolution and more diagonal space in-line w/ my work^^

Btw, here's my updated build.
