also please put your requests in this format:

Processor:
Motherboard:
RAM:

Casing:

monitor:

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.

Thanks! I will be noting this. Also If I upgrade my GPU should I change my PSU? o swak na rin yung 520w?

maybe if you are gonna use a 980 or higher... or a R9 390x or higher...
pero kaya na nya ang R9 390 and gtx 970 and lower.

Hello po. Ano po kaya ang mas okay iupgrade sa parts ko ngayon?
Specs:

i3-6100
msi h110m pro vh
ripjaws v 2400 x2 4gb
gtx 750ti
ssd 120gb/hdd 500gb
seasonic 80 bronze 520w non modular
raiden elite case

processor muna ba?

wala pa isang taon yung skylake, upgrade na agad pag lumabas na yung kabylake, magmumura siguro yung i7 na skylake. malamang ibang socket na naman nun. aside from the suggestion above, why not another ssd? maybe 500gb this time so youll dedicate your 120 for os and office apps then the 500gb for games only. unless youre the kind of person who finishes a game first then deletes it.

 

[benedictwo]

guys need ko yung help nyu regarding sa UPS...my PSU is 500w..pwede na po ba dyan ang 625va ng apc?thanks thanks...

Any opinion po sa korean na power supply? Di po ba delikado sa PC ko? TIA po sa sasagot.

I wouldn't really bet on generic power supplies, that's the first thing that I would invest on dahil kayang sirain ng faulty supply and lahat ng components mo. Regarding the gpu, kung may warranty pa, I think it's a good deal. It requires 400W psu, pero 600W ang gamit mo kaya lang hindi ako sure kung 80% certified ba yan, baka mamaya mas mababa pa sa 400W ang output nyan.

Bottleneck is a variable term. Depende sa games yan, kung cpu or gpu intensive. You'll do well, considering na unlocked ang cpu mo.

just a suggestion, why not earn enough budget so you can buy the pc components you want? since youre just gonna use it for browsing and watching movies, why not use your phone or tablet to browse? unless its for work or your phone is analog. im assuming your pc will be home based. you can also plug your device to your tv to watch movies. idk how they do it but ive seen it somewhere. if you have enough sd card space, you can also download torrents. again idk how they do it but its possible. and guess what? your handheld device doesn't use as much power as a desktop. (an argument given by amd fanboys to compensate for the supposedly huge electricity bill, credits to them) you can also tap on to your work network to download torrents provided you got a buddy in the IT department. isn't that great?

might as well use it, sayang din php35 mo. mas mahal pa ata pinang-gasolina mo kesa sa paste hindi naman masisira yang cpu mo eh. baka difference of 3c - 5c lang yan. ayusin mo lang, wag kalat.

and ito naman ang chipset
View attachment 255988
sabi sa site ng Asus, kaya ng laptop ko ang 8gb..tanong ko lang, kaya kaya nito ang 12800 o mas mataas pa o better stick to 10600 na lang ako? hirap kasi humanap ng 10600 tska diba magkaka-issue if dalwang RAM stick ang gamit ko tapos yung isa 10600 tapos yung partner naman ay 12800??
paki explain naman sa may alam..hehe

Using different ram on the same system will yield two (or more) possible results:

1. Ram downclock. Pairing 1333MHz ram (the speed that you have) with a 1600MHz or higher ram will force the faster ram to run down to 1333MHz; or
2. BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) - this is sure to happen if the timings of the ram that you get don't match the original kit that you have.

If you plan on upgrading ram, either make sure to get a module with identical specs or get a new dual channel ram kit and ditch that one.

Madaling abutin ang gaming needs using an APU build if you'll be playing @768p (1024x768 reso) depending on games but for rendering, you'll need more cores. Either FX build ka or intel i7, but you'll need a graphics card.

Anyway here's my take, APU build:

CPU: AMD A8-7600 Kaveri = P4100
MOBO: MSI A68HM E33 V2 = P2100
RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws X 2x4GB 2133 CL9 = P2700
Storage: Seagate ST1000DM003 SATA = P2500
PSU: Seasonic s12ii 520W = P2600
Case: Deepcool Kendomen = P2000

16k lahat, you can opt for 500GB HDD and shave 1k off para 15k, but 1TB is today's norm especially for personal builds (my opinion). Maraming downsides since the socket is dead regarding upgrades. Else, here's an intel build from Back2gaming:

This can be a better choice, as you have room for future upgrades. If you can spare more, I highly suggest the s12ii 520w psu. 5 years warranty and will last you through upgrades.

haha bahala na sir, mahirap kasi pag nahook ka na sa pc, walang katapusang upgrade pag may bago

 

[themonyo]

i think kung may "capable" GPU ka na, you should invest next sa magandang monitor
1440p - 4k... 120hz or higher... ultrawide... curved (not a fan)
of course walang 120hz/144hz na 4k monitor wala rin GPU pa na capable i-drive yun

daming upgrade path:
if your board supports it - NVME or M.2 SSD
more HDD (RAID 6) or even higher capacity SSD's (sobrang mahal)
mechanical keyboards & gaming mice + "gaming" mouse pads
HiFi speakers or headphones, dedicated sound cards and DAC/AMP
water coolers (AIO or even custom loops) and LED illumination
multi-GPU and multi-monitor setup
custom mods ng chassis or even the table and chairs

tama ka dyan sir, hehe yun nga plan ko next eh good monitor na, kahit 24inches lang muna
tapos case, balak ko na mag itx build haha, tapos na era ng mamalaking case haha

honga
daming build ngayon ng itx pero high end components dahil na rin sa mga small form factor na GPU's
AMD's R9 Fury X & Nano against Nvidia's GTX 970 mini
