[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.

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

as of now, there isnt much. you cant also fully utilize the 4gb since its bottlenecked by the lack of bandwidth, only 128bit. better get the sapphire with a beefier cooling since youre freaked about temps.

Thank you sir nub 2gb na lang kunin ko. Takot na kasi ako sa amd. Athlon lang ako natuwa kahit nasunog agad ung his icq hd 4670 ko dati 2 yrs lang tinagal. Sa A series namam a10 7870k tinotal ko nagastos ko para mapalamig, intel set up na katumbas. buti nabenta ko agad konti lang lugi.

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

tingin ko sa a10 mo mali lang readings mo. mag throttle naman yan kapag mainit na or mag shut down. ako nga 125w na phenom, 212evo lang.

2-4 hrs gaming namamaty sir nka cm hyper 212x naka off pa turbo core binabaan ko na din tdp 50w, pero tingin ko mobo culprit wala kasi vrm heatsink, tska nagtanong na din ako sa ibang forums hindi maganda gamitin 68hm sa 7870k dapat 88xm nahirapan din ako ibenta ng bundle procie mobo ram, kaya ginawaa ko buong cpu na, kung mag uupgrade kasi ako mobo nasa 5k+ na. A88xm Kaya binenta ko ng 14k buong cpu inisip ko dagdag ko na lang 5k dun pasok na sa intel. 1st build ko athlon tumagal ng 5years sa akin bago nabenta at ok pa din hanggang ngaun kaibigan ko nakabili hindi naman gamer hindi naman ako namoblema tulad ng sa apu sa november pa lang mag 1year.

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

kung magkapitbahay lang tayo, pag lalaruan ko yung apu mo. i dont see any advantage of a88x besides the updated bios and cfx. thats according to the popular sites and yt channels that compared the chipsets.

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

sa pagkakalam ko, image quality of dvi and hdmi are the same. may audio lang yung hdmi. mas maganda lang din para sa kin yung cable nya. para kasing old school yung port ng dvi. mas mahirap din maghanap ng dvi cables, at least sa bulacan. dun din kasi pinsan ko. hdmi gamit nya with rx470. may iba iba ring dvi so yung para sa kanya, mahirap hanapin.

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

Hello po. Ask ko lang po kung compatible ba si G.SKILL Ripjawsx 16GB (dual) 2133mhz cl10 kay Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-DS2?

Nakalagay po kasi sa website ni gigabyte is compatible hanggang 2400 mhz (OC). Tas nung tinanong ko si Dynaquest (sakanila kasi ako bibili) di raw siya compatible kasi nag downclock daw kusa sa 1866mhz.

Yun lang po yung tanong ko po. Iniisip ko po tuloy kung mag 1866mhz or 2133 mhz po ba ako. Thanks.

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

baka hindi ka naintindihan ng salesman.

if mobo has a hard cap of 2400, rams can run at a max of 2400. if a 2666 ram is inserted, it will be capped to 2400. parang fps. kahit kaya ng pc mo to reach 100fps but you set a soft cap at 60fps, youll never see it go beyond 60fps.

it could also be, as few have said, you have to manually set it to 2400 even if the ram and board are 2400 since the apu has a spec of 2133. ive checked some of gskill rams and the spd is 1600. you have to double check this in bios as sometimes mobos set the spd as default.

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

Ah. Thanks po. So pag bumili po ako ng 2133 mhz ddr3 g.skill malolower po yung mhz nya po into 1866 mhz? Kahit na supported ng Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-DS2 (Sabi sa website ng gigabyte)?

Or baka mali lang yung nalagay sa website? Thanks.

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

kung supported, ia-adjust mo na lang sa bios yung frequency na gagamitin ng ram. di naman magboboot yan pag di supported eh

How about WD Caviar Blue? Mostly kasi sa nababasa ko sa mga thread puro WD Blue binibili at nirerecommend nila. So I'm thinking if it's better.
