[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.

[mhigs0864]

mga sir ask ko lang pwede po ba ang DDR3 1600MHz RAM sa Intel Pentium G3240/G3220?

 

[Permanent BAN]

mga sir ask ko lang pwede po ba ang DDR3 1600MHz RAM sa Intel Pentium G3240/G3220?

Pwede po sir. Pero mag dodownclock po sya sa 1333mhz speed.

 

[YuridaE]

budget: 10K below
usage: microsoft office,internet, some gaming (counter strike,dota)

other miscellaneous requirements:

Processor: if possible intel i3 if not AMD
Motherboard:
RAM:

Video Card: pede pong wala kung d papasok sa budget

Hard Drive:
Optical Drive:

Power Supply:
Casing:

monitor:

Accessories:

 

[mhigs0864]

Pwede po sir. Pero mag dodownclock po sya sa 1333mhz speed.

pero wala naman po problem sa system other than magddownclock sya?
natanong ko lang po kasi may nakikita ako mga set up na ganito specs:

intel pentium g3240
asus h81m-e
DDR3 1600 or 2400Mhz

kasi ang pagkakaalam ko nga po 1333mhz speed lang kaya ng G3240.
Tama po ba? then ung ASUS H81m-e ang 1600mhz.

Actually kung supported ng mobo ang 1600mhz pwede pong maging 1600mhz ang speed ng ram.
Ganyan din po kz set up ko, max supported ram speed (procie=1333mhz, mobo=1600mhz, ddr3=1600mhz) pero nagrurun po sya ng 1600mhz sa windows ng walang problema. I think nasa mobo at ram po ang part kung anong max supported speed para mabasa ng system. Di ko lang alam kung namamaximize nya ang 1600mhz speed ng processor ko. Naka auto lang po dimm settings nya sa bios. Hehe..

Edit:

Kakacheck ko lang specs ng g3240. Supported nya po 1333mhz and above.

ah ganun po pala un mag dedepende po pala ang pwedeng speed ng ram kung alin ang may maximun speed ng procie or ng mobo.
tama po ba pag kakaintinde ko sir...

ex:
procie 1600mhz max
mobo: 2400mhz max

so..pwede ako maglagay ng RAM na 2400mhz speed?
EDIT:

Hehe bakit nga kaya sa site ng INTEL 1333MHZ lang supported

EDIT:
ay sir G3420 po ung nasa site ng overclocker.co.uk hehehehe

Ay oo nga. Pero parehas lang memory controller ng mga pentium haswell

G3240http://cpuboss.com/cpu/Intel-Pentium-G3240
G3220http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-497-IN

Imo, wala pong performance gain above 1600mhz.

Intel Core i5-4460 up to 3.40GHz (Quad Core) Haswell Refresh Processor ₱8,300.00

Since intel non k at nvidia gpu, no need to use watercoolant di naman po yan initin. Makakapaglaro ka po dyan ng maximum settings sa mga AAA games with 60+fps @1200p resolution. Then tantyain mo kung magkakasya ba yung gpu sa case mo or pwede din na palitan mo na yung case.

kung mag-iintel ka palit motherboard n rin un, mas malaki gastos, pwede pa naman yang setup na yan, bilhan mo na lang malakas ng video card, wala ka nang babaguhin, tapos lakihan mo ung monitor para mas maganda, sobra pa yan.

kung mag-iintel ka, kahit stock heatsink ok na yan, at kahit ddr3 1333, sobrang liit lang din kasi ng difference, sa current video card mo makakalaru ka pa ng medium setting sa mga latest games. ung pinili mong mobo ay pwedeng magSLI, pwede ka pa mag-dagdag ng additional video card kung hindi ka pa kuntento sa current mo.
