[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.

cpu: Intel Core i3 2100 3.1Ghz
mb: Asrock H61M-PS B3
ram: G.Skill 4Gb (2x2) Ripjaws 1600CL9 (dual kit)
hdd: WD Caviar Blue 500Gb 16Mb Sata3 (hanap ka sa tpc, just sold mine @ 2500, brandnew and sealed. Bagal pa nabenta)
psu: Antec/FSP 500 Watts (Any of the two, the higher the price the better)
vga: PowerColor/Sapphire HD7750 1Gb 128Bit DDR5 / HD7770 1gb 128bit DDR5
case: Fractal Arc Mini (best case for mAtx)

This is a combination of Performance and Looks. Since Fractal Arc Mini linagay ko, for sure your desktop will really look goooooooooood.
I really like that case.

Anyway, that's around 20k. Go for that build for sure you wont regret it. I suggest getting the HD7770. Btw on buying items, dont look on one shop. Look for other shops tapos check the stocks. Minsan I buy 1 item on this shop and 1 on the other.
Minsan kasi mura sa isa, vice versa.

Goodluck!

salamat sir villain_allain! :salute:

shopping mode na bukas... :dance:

Thanks in advance

Taasan mo pa konti. Pero kung ganyan talaga, pede yung celeron dual-core na 1155 socket.

POORSCHE said:
Actually we assembled the units; I avoided their packaged option. Sadly the shop did not have the complete array of i-core 3 components as you have suggested and when they finally tallied the total cost (despite having "cheaper" parts) ang price nila was something like 30% above your price guide.

After lengthy negotiations i had to decide on the AMD 260s because it was the only option that was within the range of my 15k budget

If i were to order the various parts online i know the cost of courier is going to be a whammy. BTW FYI... ang LBC centers in MM overcharges twice or even thrice their standard rack rate; it's Php 75 to the kilo. e.g. I've a seller who was quoted Php 2,500 for a 10 kilo package!!!. Not to mention the wait for these to arrive and setting up, why i guess it's gonna take ages before i can start operating which i cannot afford.

Glad to hear that the Celeron can be based on a good 400W power supply... but i am contemplating on your suggested line up of;

cpu: Intel Core i3 2100 3.1Ghz
mb: Asrock H61M-PS B3
ram: G.Skill 4Gb (2x2) Ripjaws 1600CL9 (dual kit)
hdd: WD Caviar Blue 500Gb 16Mb Sata3
psu: Antec/FSP 500 Watts
vga: PowerColor/Sapphire HD7750 1Gb 128Bit DDR5 / HD7770 1gb 128bit DDR5

If all goes well, ma dispose ko yung mga AM260 units dahil may kilala ang kaibiganko mga buyers na interesado mag upgrade. If this happens by then I will have the time to build the new PC rig based on your suggestion.

I've "liked" and posted a message at your FB's RBA site. Will update you before i purchase my next set of PC's.

Thank you Guru.

Thanks sa like. Been busy for awhile. Ngayon lang ako nakadaan. Anyhow, much better ung i3-2100. Kaso malaki masyado ang budget for 1PC. Kailangan ung pinakabasic lang para agad mo makukuha puhunan mo.

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose/upgrade your Computer

For AMD Build: (CPU only)

cpu | amd a8 3870 -------------------6190
mobo | asrock pro4-M -------------------4990
vga | sapphire hd6670-------------------4200
ram | gskill ripjawsX 2x2gb Dual 1600Mhz-1370
hdd | WD Caviar Blue 500GB -------------3450
odd | Liteon -------------------------900
case | Cooler Master Elite 371------------1500
psu | Corsair VX550---------------------2950
total | ------------------------------25550

Optional Heatsink Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ----------------------------------------------1350
Optional DeepCool Wind Blade 120mm Fan --2 items(one for front and one for side)----230x2---460

Prices are from dynaquestpc. AMD A8 3870 is a little power hungry so you should take note of that VX550w. I included it there with this in mind. If you want to cut the cost you can disregard the graphics card. A8 llano procs have a decent integrated graphics. And please take note that I included a 6670 vga because its the graphics card that would enable dual graphics for this proc.

If you can spare more money consider the optional parts that i mentioned to ensure sufficient cooling.

Taga Pampanga lang din ako. Kay PC Configure madami ka mapipili. Search my name at tipidpc, check my mobile no.

Pero if ako, bili ako ng GT240. I think available kay PC Configure yun, 2500 lang ata.

Malaki laki po ang 20-25k per pc. Since nasa 20pesos nalang ang per hour ngayon. Consider din kelan babalik ang puhunan mo.
Pero to give you a hint, Ung celeron dual-core ang best para sayo. (Better than Athlon II 250) and more energy efficient than other processors.

Siguro aabot lang ng 15k ang per pc mo. Give me a day. Let me see if tom. magawa kita specs.
