[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

Balak ko pong mag assemble ng isa pang budget rig next mo. Comments nalang po kung ano po masasabi nyo. Eto po ang specs. Procie: intel q8200 P8650, mobo: intel DG 31PR P2550, mem: geil 2g pc800 P1200, vc: palit 9500gt 1gb / 128bit P2750.

ok na po yung processor at memory, at vc. .unless may makita kang Intel Q6600 <still the best on 65nm technology. ./no1

suggestion ko lang po, wag kang kukuha ng intel na motherboard. .better get Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, or Emaxx. .tska mas ok kung P31/P35/P45 ung kunin. .sa vc, mas ok po ang 512Mb na GDDR3 kung hindi ka rin mag heavy graphics usage lng video editing, or HD editing programs. .hindi rin lng nauutilize ung full 512Mb kahit nka games ka. .

tska mas ok po if u get a branded psu for those components, pina importante ung psu mo, it holds all components eh. .get hec winpower, coolermaster, antec, corsair, etc. .bstah hindi generic. ./no1

sir mga magkano kaya psu? un pla muna unahin ko bago ako mg-upgrade kc china lang psu ko eh.. anu mairerecomend nyo?

saka my nakita akong mga ram coolers, at HDD coolers.. kaylangan ba tlga to? kung mga 4-5hrs kang ng-lalaro ng games ng walang aircon?

Pwede na 'yung HEC 500W, mga 2k+.

saka my nakita akong mga ram coolers, at HDD coolers.. kaylangan ba tlga to? kung mga 4-5hrs kang ng-lalaro ng games ng walang aircon?

Hindi po 'yan kailangan unless gusto mo mag-OC or running 24/7 ang PC mo.

ram cooler pwede pa, pero hindi naman masyado umiinit ung ram. .sa hdd not necesary lagyan ng cooler, stable lagi ung temp nmn nyan eh. .

pinakamura na maganda is hec winpower 500W, nsa 2.5k ata yun^_^

salamt ulit mga sir! sa psu ko na lang gagamitin pera ko.. di nmn pla masyado kelangan ng ram at HDD cooler..

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

pa advise naman po kung san maganda at murang bumili taga makati po ako kasi gusto kong mag build ng bago heavy gamer rin ako gusto ko sana quadcore lalagpas ba yun ng 35k?

^sa pc gilmore paps. .sensya, dun lng alam q. .tga bguio kz aq, hehe. .

35k, pwedeng pwede na un paps. .including monitor po ba?

Proc: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 (P8300) > pero kung makahanap ka ng Q6600, un nlng, hehe. .

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

wow thanks ah gusto ko sanang mobo is asus anu po ba compatible nalimutan ko kasi ilagay kagabi tsaka bat po mas ok yung Q6600 sa Q8200? thanks in advance

Mas mataas kasi ang Clockspeed at L2 cache ng Q6600 compared to Q8200, pero mas mataas FSB ng Q8200 (1333 MHz). Maganda sa Q8200, mas matipid sa kuryente kasi 45nm ang manufacturing process nito compared to 65nm processors w/c are power-hungry.

One more thing, since Quad ang CPU mo, mas maganda kung Team Elite/Team Xtreem ang RAM mo and since mukhang may budget ka naman, I suggest na 4GB na bilhin mo.

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

thanks yup isagad ko na dapat noh para matagalan talaga pero sa mobo po ano po recommend nyo po na asus po

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

^pero kung 32-bit version ng Os, 3.5Gb lng marerecognize ng RAM is lalagyan mo ng 4Gb, kasi 4Gb total memory ng 32-bit Os inlcuding memory ng vid card. .tska kung 32-bit OS ang gamit, hindi umaabot ng 2Gb ang memory, kht in-game. .kya pra sa akin, its either 2-3Gb lng RAM for 32-bit OS. .

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

mga paps mangungulit ulit..

bakit nga pla pangit ung ECS na mobo?

 

[genocide1394]

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

^hindi nmn xa totally panget, pero hindi ganun kaganda ung quality ng capacitors nya. .

sa capacitors lang pla ngkatalo... tnx! meron pa pang iba?

 

[genocide1394]

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

^ hnd lng sa capacitors, bsta overall, hnd ganun kaganda quality, mas matibay ang Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Emaxx, Foxconn. .^_^

INFO LANG

SOLID CAPACITOR

Electrolytic Capacitor

Solid capacitors and electrolytic capacitors both store electricity and discharge it when needed. The difference, however, is that solid capacitors contain a solid organic polymer, while electrolytic capacitors use a common liquid electrolyte, hence, the terms solid capacitor versus electrolytic capacitors. So how does this actually effect the capacitor's performance?



Six times longer lifespan
In terms of lifespan, solid capacitors last longer than electrolytic capacitors, especially at lower working temperatures. As the table below shows, as the temperature decreases, the lifespan for solid capacitors increases. At 65◦C, the average lifespan for a solid capacitor is more than six times greater than electrolytic capacitors. In actual years, the solid capacitor will last approximately 23 years, while the electrolytic capacitor dies after only three years. Granted, most people will replace their motherboard long before 23 years, but clearly, solid capacitors have a lifetime advantage over electrolytic capacitors.

Ferrite Core Choke

• Reduced core energy loss. • Lower EMI.
• Resists rust better than standard iron core chokes.
For the chokes, GIGABYTE uses more expensive ferrite choke. Ferrite chokes are comprised of a compound of iron-oxide and other metal elements whose properties hold energy much longer than common iron-core chokes at high frequency. This means there is reduced core energy loss and lower EMI for extended system reliability. In addition, ferrite core chokes resist rust better than iron-core chokes. For users in humid climates, especially around coastal areas where there is a high concentration of salt in the air, ferrite core chokes are able to resist rust better than iron chokes.

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

gud am! my tanong ulit ako..

nakita ko sa net na my kataasan temperature ng cpu ko..
eto..

core 2 duo E7300 2.66Ghz

Core Temp 0.99.4

core 0=45C
core 1=51C

Real temp 3.00

core 0=46C
core 1=51C

Wopti Utilities

core 0=48C
core 1=51C

tanong ko lang anu magandang biling cpu cooler? mga 2,000 budget..

madali lang ba ito ikabit? tatanggalin ko pa ung mobo?

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

gusto ko sna isugest pra sau ung zalman cnps9500/cnps9700/cnps9900. .pero not xur ako sa price d2 sa pinas. .pero lam q mura lng ung cnps9500. .

madali lng nmn po mgpkabit ng cpu cooler, pero tandaan nyu po, ung cpu thermal paste na kasama, wag masyadong marami ang lagyan, maliit lng ang lagyan na thermal paste, kasi iipitin rin yan ng heatsink at nung cpu, kasing liit lng cguro ng isang butil ng kanin. .or two. .
