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

OhNow3P · Aug 23, 2008

Hi guys,

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

Code:

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.

as for the 9800GT, as far as many reviews i've seen it can run most games on mid-high settings sir on a 1280x1024 (15"-19") screen resolution, and mid-high(some games on high) settings on above (22"-24"). .

yup, walang hard disk ang sa 27k mo. binigay ko naman sayo ang performance specs eh un lang walang hard disk.. at saka kung gusto mo talga yung kumplto ng parts, magsacrifice ka na ibang parts gaya ng processor, or video card. kung isasama mo ung hard disk dun sa parts na nilagay ko, palitan mo ung processor mo nalang. syempre, pag pinalitan ang processor, palit na rin ang board o di kaya magdagdag ka pambili ng hard disk at ibang peripheral devices na kailangan mo. ^^

saka wala silang bayad sa labor. kung dun ka bibile sa kanila, libre na ung installment ng pc mo..

by part ko binile itong core i5 ko kahapon lang (wednesday), kasi wala akong hard disk na kasama at casing. so impusible ka magbuo dun sa kanila. bale processor, mainboard, video card, ram, DVD RW, at power supply pero walang casing at hard disk - total is 30K. high end naman kaya na sa 35k na budget.

[edit]

sa 32k,

phenom II x3 720 BE 'Black Edition' [with l3 cache] - P5995
4gb (dual) ddr3-1333 G.Skill RipJaws - P5680
ECS A790GXM-AD3 [am3] - P4500
Sapphire radeon 5770 vapor X - P7999
HEC raptor 500W - P2300
any casing - P1200/P1300
ANY DVD RW - 1300
SATA 320GB - P2000

P31074

ayan kumpleto ka na sa system unit pero monitor. wala

waw.. ipit tayo dyan... hmm.. sige, atras tayo sa vapor X 5770, gawin nating 9800GT tapos ung ram mo bawasan din natin gawin nating 2 GB

minus ka sa videocard ng 2k kasi 9800GT 1GB = 5K (more or less)
minus ka sa ram ng 2k-2.5k kasi 2GB is P2500 - cheapest

so bale

phenom II x3 720 BE 'Black Edition' [with l3 cache] - P5995
ECS A790GXM-AD3 [am3] - P4500
HEC raptor 500W - P2300
any casing - P1200/P1300
ANY DVD RW - 1300
WDC 160gb - p1795
Inno3d 9800GT 1gb/256bit ddr3 - P 5260.00
LG 17" - P5350 (price ni sir genocide sakin dati)
2gb ddr3-1333 pc3-10600 Team Elite™ - P2530

= P30330

okay ba?

oo tama, mag ipon ka nalang sa 2GB na isang ram mo..

ung sa pchub CUbao at gilmore, hindi ko sigurado kung pareho price pero ang alam ko iisa lang talaga ang pricelist nila.

pwede ka mag XP kung di ka naman gagamit ng DX11 graphic cards tulad ng GTX470/80, ATI 5xxx cards.
