All of us wants to get the most out of our money. You could build yourself a decent low-end setup for Php10,000USD 170INR 14,446EUR 162CNY 1,241, but some people are not content with the performance as you just can’t fit a lot of power in a Php10k build. For those looking to maximize performance for a Php10,000USD 170INR 14,446EUR 162CNY 1,241 build while taking a risk, this guide is for you.
Here we utilize 2nd hand parts for a cheaper, yet a more powerful build than our current Php10,000USD 170INR 14,446EUR 162CNY 1,241 build. Keep in mind though that since we are utilizing used parts, durability and availability will vary. Since that it is secondhand, we are also not responsible if there are any unexpected results such as component damage, and the life-span of the parts.
Please don’t expect running games in ULTRA Settings at 1080p with this build especially today’s AAA titles such as Rise of the Tomb Raider, Hitman, GTA V, and the like. Take note that the prices aren’t final and are estimates from what we have seen endorsed at common Buy and Sell groups on Facebook, OLX, and other secondhand market places.

Here we utilized Intel’s Core i3-2100. Personally this was my first processor for my very first self-assembled RIG back in 2011. Despite being 5 years old, this processor still packs a punch with a clock speed of 3.1Ghz and features Hyper-Threading. This processor is good enough in editing simple videos, and is also good for gaming even with today’s AAA titles.

Just because we’re utilizing 2nd-gen Sandy-Bridge technology doesn’t mean it’s weak. I’ve personally used the i3-2100 and it is still great in playing today’s non-CPU extensive games, and the i5-2500 (k or non k) is still a great processor for gaming due to it’s quad-core non-hyperthreaded structure. Let’s not forget this build is for those looking to maximize their Php10,000USD 170INR 14,446EUR 162CNY 1,241 on a second-hand gaming rig.

You don’t need to have the latest nor the most powerful components to run a game. There are pros and cons: like the risks in buying secondhand parts as some may be faulty or if they are unavailable at the market. Having a dedicated GPU will significantly increase gaming performance compared to APUs and CPUs without a dedicated graphics card.

can you recommend where to buy laptops that can handle dota 2 and how much does it cost at the very least?
Edward Christian Bandola says:

fcsean says:
tipidpc lng ok na. Best place to buy actually.
MrPiatoz says:
ask ko lang po, kung ung vcard ba na yan hindi na kailangan ng 6 pins? at kung kaya kahit generic lang na psu in the long run?
Karateph says:
Generic case + 500 psu would not be able to handle the gpu gtx 560 256bit. Generic psu bundled with sheap generic case is only rated 180w to 250w at most.
Syntax says:
Any guide to build a PC in a price range of consoles? I’m in a dilemma if I’ll buy PS4/Xbox One over a custom build PC.
Edwin says:
As for setting up a budget gaming rig I would not recommend using generic PSU specially for GPU that requires additional power. Rather than taking your chances with generic PSU that would can harm some of your hardware, aside for not providing power efficiency to all the hardware parts needed by your computer. There are a lot of branded PSU that is within the 1K to 1.5K price range. As for the generic case, most of the time if you bought all your parts from a single store they can throw away a free case for you.
