Video Card lang ba ang papalita ko mga bossing? Or kelangan pa ang Processor at memory?

Video card will be fine , the only problem with build CPU is the mother board kahit gusto mo mag upgrade ng mas mataas sa 1866 mhz di mo pwedeng gawin kung hindi mo alam yung limit nung mobo

each mobo has it's peak not all mobo can run memory higher that 1866 Mhz , even some after market or branded mobo can do that

if your in doubt on you PSU , you can also go 500W it's ok to put more space on your power wattage

[A7x]

Thanks I'll put the power supply into consideration as well.. as for the processor and memory what would be the difference if I upgrade it? Or just leave it as is and just go with the VC upgrade?? yung VC ko pala is pci express x16 ang size.. i hope compatible ang NVIDIA GTX 750ti sa slot nya...

^ this is what im Talking about , your Mobo didn't like higher Memory Mhz , and you can only go 8GB

but getting higher than 8GB on a gaming PC is OP or Over Price and so you can only go 1333 MHz which is not bad for a gaming PC

if you like Over Clocking then that mobo you have is not the right one for you

[A7x]

so okay na pala yung processor ko di na kelangan gawing i5 or i7? yung requirement kasi para maka play ako nang world of tanks dapat daw i5 or higher.. tsk tsk newbie here..hehehe

as long as you have a good V-card your good    , if you wanted to change your Processor to i7 you need a different motherboard because i7 has a different socket , LGA1155 is good for i3 and i5 , but i5 are expensive if your an urban poor like me

hahahaha pagiiponan ko to.. sabi kasi sa manual upgradable naman sya to i7 pero not sure kung worth it ba ang i7 given ang capacity sa mobo...
