Need some information

Hi everyone,

I will be going home to Philippines for a few months and I wanted to buy some parts for my current PC rig.

I will be in Manila for a few days so I do not know if I have time to go around. I am no longer updated with good PC stores in the Philippines.

My current rig is:

Processor: Core i7 940 2.93 ghz
motherboard: Asus Rampage II extreme
RAM: 12 gig
PS: 800watts
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870
OS: Windows xp 64bit

here is what i need:

1. I want to buy a Geforce 295 and switch my HD 4870 so that I can benefit for greater gaming and other things.

a.) I want to know what current brands are best for the video card and is available in Philippines...eg. sapphire, Inno3d...etc. I do not want my video card to fail in the middle of a good game.
b.) Where can I get this card in either Makati or Alabang area
c.) Any Idea how much does it cost now?

2. I am also switching to Windows 7 64bit. Any Idea how much it cost back home?
3. I think my 800 watt PS is still sufficient to support the Geforce 295, I am a bit skeptical of needing to upgrade this.

I am happy about my current rig because it was able to render all of my scenes, specially the " Lonely Town " animation, with all the precalculation and approximately 12 million polycount without crashing. I just want to upgrade it a bit.

I hope someone can answer my questions. Many thanks.

Sir Paul try nyo din po sa Gilmore. Theres no place else i know in manila na ok bumili ng cpu parts.About 295, ok na ok ang performance lalo na sa gaming.Never fails me sa mga games ko. Goodluck and hope makakuha kayo..

Thanks...I am also looking into Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 coz its the only video card that currently support Directx 11...Im wondering if its available in the Phil and how much it costs also
