[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.

i would go with i7 because of visual studio. excel is also multi threaded. gpu acceleration isnt really much of a need. youll be coding most of the time. r7 360 should be good enough for dota2 at 1080p60.

Salamat sir, ask ko lang kung pwedeng wag nakong bumiling GPU feeling ko talaga kasi sayang pera ko jan di naman ako mahilig sa games, nag dota 2 lang ako 2 games per day pang anti stress.

Ano kaya kung yung budget na 7500 para sa GPU e iupgrade ko nalang to from i5 6600 to i7 6700? ok lang ba yun?

at another question: Need ko pa ba bumili ng cpu cooler o ok na ang stock cooler? (I mean yung fan sa cpu)

 

[nubbest]

kasya naman kahit i7 + r7 360. php40120

Hi, nagtanong na po ko dati, pero tanung ulit ako ngayong may budget na ako pambili.

eto po specs ko:

intel core i3 2120 @3.30GHz
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @665MHz
Asustek computer inc. p8h61-m LX3 Plus (LGA1155)

Gusto ko sana upgrade video card ko. Kahit yung medyo decent lang habang nag-iipon ng pang high end na gaming pc. Gusto ko lang sana ma max settings dota 2 at Tree of Savior. Occasional RPG gaming like Skyrim and witcher 3, fallout 3 at 4 kahit hindi max settings basta playable naman.

Yung nagtanong ako dati, yung recommend sakin 750 Ti. OK na ba yung card na to? Medyo nag search ako tapos nakita ko rin yung 660 Ti. Gusto ko sana yung pinakasulit talaga. Budget ko 6k - 8k.

At ano po ba yung dapat ko tignan sa motherboard ko para malaman kung compatible yung video card?

Thanks in advance

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

Puwedeng patulong sa pag decide sa pag upgrade. I am a programmer / android developer and also a gamer. I currently have i3 4170 and GTX 960 4G.

My option 1: Upgrade CPU to i7 4790k then retain my GPU.

My option 2: Upgrade CPU to i5 4690 and GPU to GTX 970.

Any suggestion din po guys. Salamat!

it depends if the game takes advantage of the 8 threads. although the 5500u is dual core, it has 4 threads which may be sufficient for most games like dota2, tf2 and overwatch. the asus has a better gpu though. if the price is the same then ill get the asus too.

1. yung mobo mo ba ay OC capable? that is Z97 or Z87 chipset? if not, better go with a non-K cpu instead. either 4790 or 4690 (walang K)
2. this would give you better performance sa gaming.

not sure about sa compiling ng Android apps na gamit mo kung nauutilize nya lahat ng 4 cores/8 thread but if your compiler can, it will give you a significant boost in compiling speed. otherwise, stick to an i5.
