[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.

Wait try ko magsearch wala ako gaanong knowledge sa amd. Intel kasi ako simulat sapul. xD
ito ba mobo mo? EMX-MCP61M2-iCafe
kung yan board mo ts ito mga supported niya = Supports AMD® Socket AM2, Compatible with AM2+/ AM3 Processors, AMD Phenom™ II/ Phenom™/ Athlon™ II/ Athlon™/ Sempron™ processor hmmm am3 socket cguro hanap ka.

am2 and am2+ socket support ddr2 only. am3 and am3+ support ddr3 only kung magpapalit ka ddr3 make sure yung ddr2 mo benta mo na or itago. hindi kasi pede sabay yng ddr2 tpos lagyan mo ddr3.

-kung gusto mo magupgrade ts. full upgrade na gagawin mo.
mobo mo ito lang kaya nian processor "LGA775 socket for latest Intel® Core 2 Quad /Core 2 Duo / Pentium Dual-core /Celeron processors"
kng gaming tlga gusto mo need mo yung mga new series ngayon. para malaro mo ng maayos mga games. lalo na ram ngayon. 4 gb na pinkaminimum sa mga heavy games. lalo na processor mo hindi siya pepede sa gaming lalo na sa video editing. sa video card mo pede na cguro yan kung minimum. advice ko lang din. mag 4gb pataas kana ng ram. AMD or Intel pepede. AMD ngayon kasi pasok sa budget. wala ka din nmn pagsisihan sa amd. lalo na ngayon paganda ng paganda amd. hintay pa tayo ng answers. kulang pa kasi knowledge ko for computers
