[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/upgrade your Computer

Budget: 35k

Games I Play: Crysis, CoDMW2, HoN, Allods Online, WoW Cataclysm,

Btw I need a build with the monitor there already I might prefer the 16 inch monitor if there is still enough cash well then lets increase its inch.

I live in davao so I might need to know where is the best place to buy the parts.

I also need a decent casing if I have to I can try increasing budget to 40k but if you can make a build for just 35k the better

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose/upgrade your Computer

Avoid DDR and DDR2 variant... DDR3 and up are the good ones...
Dont be fooled by 1GB+++ memory sizes...
In terms of choosing Video card you may want to look at the size of your monitor...
256MB for 14,15,16,17 inches monitors..
512MB for 17,18,19,20 inches monitors..
1G and up for 20 and UP monitors...

sir pano po 17 inch ung monitor di ba base sa nasa taas okey na ung 512mb pano po kung ang specs requirement ng game eh 1 gig?
