[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.

kpag bumili ako ng mobo na compatible kay i5-2400 .. pwepwede poba sya kay q6600?



sir tanong lng po
kpag yung GPU and CPU same family gaganda poba performance, maimamaximize or magboost po prang ganun

sensya daming tanong sir.. slamat sa mga replies nyo

 

[chromatic20]

PROC: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6~4.0 GHz Haswell Refresh 14,150.00
MOBO: MSI H97M-G43 = ₱5,200.00 from pcx
RAM: 16gb RAM
SSD : 256gb
PSU: Cooler Master V650 80+ Gold 4.4k sa pchub
VIDEOCARD : Gusto ko mga 970 videocard, either the zotac 970 / msi 970
CASING :

Eto yung mga black casing na trip ko with huge side panel window
Option 1: Corsair 450D << mas okay kesa sa 350D, m-atx lang ata ang 350D eh
Option 2: Bitfenix Ronin << check mo to meron silang stealth cover para di masyado kita yung messy cable management mo

eto lang po massuggest ko and di din po ma ooverclock yung procie nyo bossing kasi non-k. pero that procie still kick ass.

eto lang po massuggest ko and di din po ma ooverclock yung procie nyo bossing kasi non-k. pero that procie still kick ass.

boss big fan ako ng storm trooper look > white, black with glass.

So far ung build na gusto ko gawin depends on the case , it matters to me kasi I'm a designer, masyado picky.

so if storm trooper or white look

1. Corsair 600
2. Corsair 760t
3. Fractal Design R4
4 NXZT 340
5. Bitfenix Comrade White Window

Lahat na white cases nito are simple sa design and with glass. I like the corsair 760 but medyo malaki lang right ? kasi not planning to overclock this.

I'm choosing between 2 tipidpc shops, dynaquest or pcnetmiles.

Option B ) If I go a different color , ung gusto ko titanium gray with a window

1.) Corsair 350 D Window


or something like the INWIN 904 but so expensive.

Can you help me with this please ?

ay akala ko naghahanap ka din ng black cases. kung di ka naman budget constricted go for Corsair 760t, decent airflow and space behind the motherboard tray for cable management tapos sobrang laki pa nung side panel window. Cons kapag m-atx pa gagamitin mo motherboard mag mumuka talaga syang malaki kasi AFAIK full tower chassis yun. Kahit naman di ka mag ooverclock, mas okay pa din kung may good airflow yung case mo to keep your components cool.

Fractal Design R4 or NZXT H440 pwede din check mo na lang pareho kung ano magustuhan mo. yung Bitfenix Comrade at NZXT 340 di ko pa nakikita yung mga case na yan eh haha sorry.

As for the 2 shops, look for the one that has the lowest price of the item that you want to buy.

kpag bumili ako ng mobo na compatible kay i5-2400 .. pwepwede poba sya kay q6600?



sir tanong lng po
kpag yung GPU and CPU same family gaganda poba performance, maimamaximize or magboost po prang ganun

sensya daming tanong sir.. slamat sa mga replies nyo

Magkaiba po ang socket ng q6600 mo sa any core i series, kaya di po sila compatible. Kung gusto mo ng mas magandang gaming performance, mas mabuti kung yung gpu ang unang mong iupgrade kasama na dun sa pagpalit mo ng generic psu sa branded or reliable na psu. Then later upgrade muna na din ang procie at mobo. Capable pa naman po ang current procie mo sa mga latest midrange video cards..

 

[Lightblast]

boss if black cases gusto ko pareho sa

inwin901 lol but grabe >

http://www.asianic.com.ph/product/in-win-901-aluminum-with-tempered-glass-matx-concept-chasis


another black option is the corsair 350 d, gusto ko ung aluminum front nya, boss ung 600t corsair luma na kc, but is it still good? Repaint ko lang if needed right ? Extra 1,500 - 2k pa sa shipping kc.

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose a Computer

budget: 20-35k
usage: Gaming, Programming.
* Games wished to play are the latest games and upcoming

games of 2015. Hindi ko naman gusto na malaro sila sa maximun

settings. Ok na ako sa medyo low settings. Medium settings -

better.

other miscellaneous requirements: 3.0 USB. Sana po hindi

maingay yung PC. Magandang UPS or AVR.

Processor: Can you suggest an I5 3rd Gen Processor? Maganda

and mura daw po kasi ito sabi nung friend ko. Also, di ko naman

siguro need nang i7 dahil hindi naman ako maghahardcore

photoshop, sound and video editing. Also, suggest din po kayo

nang AMD counterpart para may choice po ako. Ok naman daw po

yung AMD mas mura kaso mabilis daw po kasi uminit kaya medyo

alangan ako.

Motherboard: Motherboard na pupwede padin kapag gusto ko

magupgrade nang parts. Hindi po ako masyado maalam sa

motherboard eh ang alam ko lang dapat yung kukunin kong

motherboard eh kasya yung mga piyesa. Kung pwede at swak sa

budget ko Gaming Motherboard po sana.

RAM: 2X 4GB or 2X 8GB RAM Kingston.

Video Card: 1X 1 or 1X 2GB na Video Card. Wala pa akong plano

mag multiple screens.

Hard Drive: 500GB or more. Depends on the budget. Yung mga

media files naman kasi like Songs, Pictures, Movies and

Documents nilalagay ko sa External Hard Drive.

Optical Drive: Any basta decent.

Power Supply: Power Supply na hindi niya matutusta yung mga

piyesa. Nabasa ko kasi na kapag cheap yung power supply

matutusta niya yung mga piyesa nung PC kaya kahit siguro medyo

mahal to basta okay sa PC. No idea din po talaga ako dito. Di ko

alam paano sukatin yung mga Watts and Volts eh.

Casing: Casing na makakatulong magpalamig nang PC tsaka sana

di po maingay and if possible Astig din po yung itsura.

monitor: Monitor na mamamaximize yung resolution na kaya nung

Video Card.

Accessories: Magandang webcam para kapag tatawag sina Mama

at Papa.

Other Items:
*Ako po ay nagtratrabaho kaya baka minsan ko lang din po ito

magamit.
* Sana po makapagbigay kayo nang Specs na Budget Friendly.

Thank You!

salamat ng madame mga sir lalo na sa mga tutulong...

CPU=pick the cheapest core i5 haswell. Mostly wala pong/maliit lang ang gaming performance difference ng core i5 vs core i7 sa single high end gpu.
Mobo=kung di mo need ang extra features get the cheapest (asus>asrock>gigabyte)
PSU=450w for your current bulid. 550-600w ideal for single mid to high end gpu set up
RAM=get the fastest supported ddr3 ram speed (speed>latency)
Cooler=Get the CM hyper 212x/evo if possible
Chasis=personal preference mas ok kung ikaw ang pipili
ODD=liteon dvdrw tested ko na sa dalawang rig ko
HDD=6yrs WD user ako

1. Always remember, get the latest chips available. Magiging obsolete din naman mga yan kapag ramdam mo na na kelangan mo na ng magupgrade. (1080p pure gaming=core i5, multi monitor/multi gpu/cpu intensive apps=core i7)
2. None kung wala wala kang balak mag OC. Stock to stock intel FTW! (Core & power efficient)
AMD for OC'ers (need better cooling and better or expensive motherboard!)
3. Pcnetmiles,dynaquestpc,pc hub
4. Tsaka lang magiging mainstream (overprice atm) yan after 2 yrs. sufficient pa naman ang ddr3

Compatible po ba ang Team Elite 4GB DDR3 1600 Black Ed. with heatsink sa Gigabyte GA-H81M-DS2 mobo ko?

Nasira kasi yung current memory ko kaya kailangan ko ng bago..

Kahit 1x4gb ddr3 muna kunin mo then palitan mo ng r9 270 yung gpu. Or pwede ding wag muna yung cooler.
