[ADVISE] Help in Assembling/Building/Choosing/Upgrading Your Computer

[OhNow3P]

Hi guys,

I started this thread to help everyone wanting a new computer. All you need to do is post the following:

budget:
usage:

other miscellaneous requirements:

*If to be used for gaming,. please indicate the games you wish to play.


The prices i will be using are those that come from major shops in gilmore and also PCexpress and others... The prices will only reflect that of which on the date of my post.


also please put your requests in this format:

Processor:
Motherboard:
RAM:

Video Card:

Hard Drive:
Optical Drive:

Power Supply:
Casing:

monitor:

Accessories:

please indicate (at least)the size of the hard disk desired, and also what you need/have/prefer.

Thanks.


How to get to Gilmore:
commuting... From EDSA get on the MRT to Cubao and take the other train and get off at Gilmore station. so easy.
driving... Via aurora is the easiest way from EDSA. anyway, just ask na lang cos i dunno where you'll be coming from.


An example post would be as follows:

Hi. Please help me buy a computer for my son. He will be using it mainly for school and some games. He likes to play Dota and L4D. Our budget for the PC would be 20K. We already have a printer, monitor and speakers. Our monitor is a 17" CRT monitor. My son said he prefers 1gb video card.

Thank you.

Re: [ADVISE] Help in Assembling/Choosing good parts my pc gaming

paps makikisingit lang need advice.

ok lang po ba bumili ng ddr5 na VC para bulok na pc core2duo e7200?
tapos pag nkaipon ulet saka ako bibili ng mobo+proci+ram...


newbei question sana mapansin thanks in advance mga paps

 

[themonyo]

Sir salamat, napagtanto ko ang mga bagay2 hehe. tama po yugn point nyo. sa ngayon po lamang na mag Ryzen 2700x na ko dahil maganda yung stock cooler 1k lang nman price gap nya sa R7 2700, tsaka mukang di ko nman tlga dapat isipen msyado 110 TDP kung di nman babad gagamiten yung PC, mostlikely matagal na yung 3hours weekdays at 7-10 hours pag weekends. tsaka mukang mahihirapan pa ko sa ngayon maghanap ng intel 9th gen napapakyaw kagad eh, tapos papa bios update pa ko hehe.

eto mga mobo choices ko now
> Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro - 7000
> Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming - 8700
> Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming 5 - 9750

Compatible nman dapat yung na pick ko ram kahit sa B450 dba sir? tinignan ko sa site supported nman 3200mhz.
Salamat talaga madame idol.

kung mag-x370 ka, remember na walang storeMI yun. kung maglalaro ka lang naman, hindi mo naman mafufully-utilize ang 100% cpu usage... baka less than 40% lang which means you'll never reach that 110w tdp... your cpu temps would still be around +50°C
sa gaming, nasa GPU ang stress

Ibig mo po sabihin sir kahit no need UPS na Basta true rated yung PSU ko ay may surge protection? Kung ganun very nice po. so yun nalang po sir 760 watts platinum na PSU. Sa case ko po Kasi 6 fan rgb except sa CPU cooler NHD15 noctua.last question po sir themonyo Kung mag overclock po ako sapat na po ba 760 watts ko na PSU? Puro overclock po Kasi components ko GPU oc gaming, processor ko unlock din po.?

kung power surge lang naman problema mo, bili ka ng power strip (extension cord) na may built-in surge protector. less than 500 petot lang naman yun. kaya 760w kahit mag-OC ka... less than 500w lang naman konsumo mo even at 100% load on OC. kung gusto mo makuha actual values, punta ka sa power calculator na site ni cooler master or lista mo lahat ng parts mo sa pcpartpicker na site.

Yun ang hndi ko alam sa StoreMI, bute nasabe nyo Sir hehe. Salamat madame sir sa ngayon ang ireresearch ko nman na is kung compatible mga parts ko(cpu,mobo,ram) concern kasiis B450 lang kasi yung mobo eh pra tiped sa budget hehe, tsaka pipili naden Chassis. yung sa M.2 at Case fan next timeko na isipen to follow nlng tutal may SSD at HDD nman na ko. Salamat tlga madame sir.

mas makakatulong kung binanggit mo kung anong exact model ng laptop mo.. pero anyways, here are my thoughts:
very limited ang pwede mong upgrade sa laptop since most of its components are soldered or proprietary
you can upgrade your RAM which is the maybe the easiest (mostly, only) possible upgrade a laptop can have. so, hanap ka same model ng ram stick mo.
storage, hindi ko alam kung may extra drive bay ka para makadagdag ng SSD. maybe one of the best upgrades a laptop can have because after moving your OS there, disk operation will be so much faster boot up will be around 30secs ~ 1 min (some boot in less than 10secs)
some laptops, pwede tanggaling yung optical disk drive (dvdrom) tapos palitan instead ng hdd or ssd
video card, again, since hindi mo binanggit exact model ng laptop mo I really can't say kung soldered yan or MXM interface ang geforce 940m mo. mahirap din maghanap ng MXM gpu's. sa ebay lang ang alam ko at napakamahal pa. maybe the best upgrade you can add for gaming.




note: ang ibig sabihin ng TS ay Thread Starter. wala na yung thread starter dito. puro ka-mobi na lang

mas maganda itong build sa gaming kasi may dedicated gpu... pero luma na to eh...
g4560 and h110 mobo shouldn't cost that much lalo na sa panahon ngayon at superseded na sya ng bagong models
atsaka mahal ata ng ssd mo

Sir research na po ko mukang msyado nga mataas VRM temps ng Gigabyte B450 Auros Pro, and ang recommended is MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC pag B450, kaso lang po ka presyo na sya ng Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, kaya naisip ko po mas ok po ba kung Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming nlng kuhanin ko alternative instead of MSI?

honga... mga nabasa at napanood kong reviews recently ng mga gigabyte mobos medyo hindi maganda ang vrm implementation mukhang hindi maganda ang overclocking potential nila dahil dun
pero kung gusto mo mag-hackintosh, gigabyte mobo pa rin highly recommended for compatibility

[waldlevi]

May question po ako mga sir. Meron na po Kasi akong GPU Asus rog strix gtx 1080 8gb OC gaming and hndi po ako maka decide Kung Anu pong CPU Ang bibilhin ko Intel core i7 8700 or Intel core i7 8700k. At Wala po ako Plano mag overclocked games lng po talaga Yung akin. Alin po dto Ang pipiliin ko 8700 or 8700k? Kung 8700 po ba piliin ko ok lng po ba siya sa GPU ko na OC gaming? Salamat po sasagot. Wala talaga ako balak mag overclock as in mag laro Lang ako.

kung pang-laro lang naman at di ka rin mag-OC, eh di i5 8400 ka na lang. that's still 6 cores against the 6 core/12 threads ng 8700 which is more expensive. parang bibihira pa lang ang laro na gumagamit ng lagpas 4 cores. di mo naman magagamit ng husto lahat ng 6c/12t unless you do some VM, rendering and other cpu intensive tasks... pero kung ganun din naman kelangan mo, ryzen 5 & 7 are much better value for money
nga pala, kung i7 8700k ang bibilhin mo, kelangan mo pa ng cpu cooler kasi walang kasama yun.

How about Yung GPU ko sir themonyo Asus strix 1080 oc gaming ok lng po ba kahit walang "k" Ang CPU ko? I want Intel sir mas trip ko Intel.
