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.

Need your expert suggestions mga master, Current onhand parts ay
Procie: Ryzen 5 2400
Mobo: Asrock b450m steel legend
Ram: 2pcs 4gb 2666mhz HyperX Fury
SSD: 120gb Team Group
HDD: any 1tb (wala pa ako nabibile any suggestion?)
PSU: Seasonic Ecoplus 500w 80 bronze 2280php
Deepcool DA 600w 80 bronze 2250php
(Wala pa ako nabibile lito ako sa dalawa)
Case: Any case around 2k php (preferably white)

Question 1: regarding sa ram, yung dual channel ba feature siya ng mobo o ng ram? Kasi bibilhin ko sana yung dual na tforce 8gb, bale 2x 4gb 2666mhz din naman kaso wala daw stock pchub kaya nag opt ako sa pinaka mababa nila na same spec din, kaya nag hyperx fury ako na single stick pero ginawa kong 2pcs

Question 2: mas sulit ba yung deepcool na 600w? Parehas land din kasing 80 bronze magkalapit lang din ng price

Question 3: any suggested na keyboard?, mouse?, Fans? Last na siguro video card since ragnarok, flyff, lang naman laro ko

Thanks in advance mga master!

depende kung saano mo gagamitin ang video card
kung maglalaro ka ng kahit anong decent graphical game, yes... it is well worth your money against he built-in graphics processor ng intel.
hindi lang sa dagdag frames per second, pati yung quality ng textures ng laro mo magbabago... there are also apps that make use of the graphics processor like video and 3d rendering
some web browsers also benefit from your video card's processing power.
pero kung office apps lang naman pag-gagamitan mo, walang magbabago...
pwede ka rin mag-upgrade ng processor lang... maybe to a locked i5 or i7 (second hand) kung hindi mo pa kaya bumili ng buong unit

1. ang "dual channel" na ram ay feature both ng processor at motherboard. so, kahit quad channel ang mobo mo, kung ang processor mo ay dual lang, useless yung isang portion na yung ng ram slots. a sample of this would be intel's x299 mobos and their corresponding processors. pag ang ram ay pares or 4 sa 1 package, ibig sabihin certified ang tested sila na working properly ang frequencies at timings together for usage on either both dual or quad channel mobos. pwede namang bumili ka ng hindi naka-kit, set mo lang naman yung xmp profile or manual frequency and timings sa bios/uefi during initial boot-up. kung hindi, by default, ise-set ng bios/uefi yan to 2133mhz. the bios/uefi will always run all your ram to the slowest one kung iba-iba timings and frequencies ng mga ram stick mo.

2. I personally prefer seasonic kasi tested na sila sa quality ng parts and warranty. deepcool is a good brand too... ang tanong na lang ay ang warranty support ng bibilhan mo. you won't go wrong with both of these anyway
3. keyboard, go mechanical pero make sure na susubok ka muna ng mga switches bago bumili certain model. mouse, i prefer logitech's wireless gaming mice... meron din akong mx master... but that's just me... you can go for corsair, razer or any other brand and model na komportable sa usage mo. video card, kung hindi naman demanding, go for low-power models or hanap ka sa 2nd hand market... daming nagdidispatcha ng rx580/570 ngayon for around 5k

Mga sir ask ko lang if may naka gamit na nung RGB converter ng deep cool yung 5v to 12v working ba sya sa id cooling df120 na fan argb kasi yung nabili ko di pala sya supported ng mobo ko (B450M Mortar) thanks )

 

[gilsky01]

Mga master question, plano ka mag upgrade ng RAM, currently may 2600 lpx ako ng single stick 8gb, ok lang ba na mag add nalang ng another 8 gb or mas ok bumili ng dual nalang?


PRIME B350-PLUS mobo ko, 3200 daw kaya as per website, kaya ba mag 3200 talaga or need ko mas mababa?

 

[cityhunter01]

Hi po. ask ko po kung worth it ba bilhin ang palit superjetstream gtx 1070 in this time? Second hand sya presuming 10k lng. Bibilhin ko po ba or hnd?

pwede magdagdag na lang at pwede rin mas mababa. kaya nga "up to"... which means 3200mhz and lower are supported...
ngayon, kung magkakaiba ang frequency at timings ng ram mo, most of the time, dina-downclock ng bios/uefi ang faster ram to match the slower ram. kung may issues man sa ganitong setup, you might need to run them at 2133mhz base clock for troubleshooting purposes.

"worth it" depends on each person's value for what it can deliver kaya that is subjective
pero kung "better value for money" ang usapan, you can consider this arguments:
kung 1080p, 60hz lang monitor mo at wala kang balak magpalit... sayang yung extra performance nyan kasi locked ka lang sa 60fps.
pero if you have a better monitor than what i have mentioned, then it is a better value against the near performing 1660ti na nasa 15k ang brand new.
pero against rx580 na around 5~7k lang na 2nd hand, i don't think it's a better value for money... rx470 rin, parang around 4k lang bentahan is maybe the best 2nd hand gpu right now with regards to "frames per peso"

Hell yeah!!! Thanks sa reply sir. Nasa 1080p 60hz Lng monitor ko now balak ko bilhin ang 144hz na monitor na nakita ko. Last question sir ano mas magandang build? Ryzen 7 2700 8cores 16threads or ryzen 5 3600 6cores 12threads? Mas ok po ba ang maraming cores and thread. Paki elaborate nga sir hehe.

Help mga masters! Especially kay bos #Themonyo . For purchase na po sa makalawa final comment na lang po or suggestions. Nga pala bos themonyo bale konting pagbabago lang po sa unang items kinonsult ko sayo dati, bale yung sabi mong palitan sa 3400 ang ram medyo hirap po ako makahanap. Tsaka po napansin ko lang na sa mobo na to wala pong nakalagay na ddr4 ram 3400 na support kundi 3466 lang. salamat more power!!
