    I want to build a mid level gaming pc with a budget of 30k. As in complete system, input and output. Last time na nagbuo ako was 4 yrs ago with amd 64 bit 3000+ / palit 6600gt / ecs mobo / 1gb ram / 17" lcd and some other peripherals. I shelled out around 48k for that system.

    Ngayon parang wala na akong idea sa mga kung ano yung mga lumabas na bagong vc,proc, and mobo.

    Basta malaro ko lang yung mga latest games sa medium settings sa 1280 x 1024 resolution. last na nalaro was fear w/ almost all the eye candies turned on.

    TIA

    I'm in the process of building a mid-level pc myself. The motherboard of my Socket 939 AMD Athlon X2 4200+ went kaput recently.

    This isn't finalized yet:
    AMD Phenom II X3 2.8ghz Black Edition (boxed, retail)
    GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX
    XFX HD-487A-ZWFC Radeon HD 4870 1GB
    G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
    Rosewill RCR-IC001 40-in-1 USB 2.0 3.5" Internal Card Reader
    CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS

    From newegg.com. After rebates, it's $497. The price of the HD 4870 will probably drop some more as the HD 5850 and HD 5870 become more available.

    I'm using my older Aspire X-Cruiser case, hard drives, and dvd burner

    You could go with a dualcore cpu and a 9600GT or an HD 4830. Crysis would probably still be laggy. But, there are plenty enough other games that'll run fine on those cards.

    scrap the Hanns, that's a no-name brand. Its actually obnoxious for a generic to charge so much for an unknown product.

    Best go with an LG display. Cheap and reliable with good specs to boot.

    Same with Seagate, scrap that and go for Western Digital Black series (up to 32MB cache).

    You might wanna try ATI 4770, i think it's only 5k+.

    Go with an AMD 785 board, the gigabyte arrived already in Gilmore I think.

    Have you considered Phenom II?

    If you still have your old midtower casing, then I suggest keeping it. As for the monitor, buy something with a resolution of 1680X1050 or below to prevent any hiccups. For visual eye candy, and since this is a new system, 22" and with at least a resolution of 1600 x 900 or 1680 x 1050 is a must hehe.

    Prices are based on my copy of PCExpress and PCHub's latest.

    Intel Build:

    CPU: Intel E6300 (C2D w/ 2MB L2 Cache) 2.8Ghz: 4,100
    Board: Asus P5QL-SE P43 or any P43 board: 3,700
    GPU: Palit GTS 250 Green Edition or Sapphire/Powercolor Radeon 4770: 5,770
    Memory: DDR2 2GB 800: 1,550
    Hard Disk: Seagate 500gb 7200.12: 2,550
    Power Supply: Acbel Ipower 610w: 3,300
    Monitor: Dell 22" e228wfp or any 22": 9,000

    Total: 29,970

    AMD Build:

    CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 (Phenom II X4 with 2 cores and w/o L3 cache) 2.8Ghz: 3,150
    Board: Any AM2/AM3 board with an SB710-SB750 southbridge : 3,200 - 3,800
    GPU: Sapphire/Powercolor Radeon 4770: 5,550 - 5,770
    Memory: DDR2 2GB 800 or DDR3 2GB: 1,550 - 2,340
    Hard Disk: Seagate 500gb 7200.12: 2,550
    Power Supply: Acbel Ipower 610w: 3,300
    Monitor: Dell 22" e228wfp or any 22" : 9,000

    Total: 28,300 - 29,910

    Try playing around with lower monitor and motherboard prices and see if you can increase your budget a little bit. A Radeon 4850 512mb can be had for as low as 7,000.
