[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.

@bee
wala ata DVI na monitor BNEW sa price range mo e. 6K ang presyo ng 17" Wide screen. mas mahal ang hindi kasi mas malaki ang LCD.

try mo na lang maghanap sa TPC. check mo na lang kung may mga dead/bright dots kung may nakita kang gusto mo.

pero ako naka 19" VGA pa rin. hindi ko alam alin sizes naka DVI na e.

@barusang
nabili mo na? kasi mas ok pa ata jan yung GF 9500GT 512 DDR3 e. check mo na lang prices. pero kung mild gaming or heavy gaming at low res, pwede na yan. sayang nga lang hindi pa DDR3...

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

Yap naBili ko na,kainis nga eh,parang ang malas, mga wala st0ck eh.. Dami ko napagtanungan dun.. Pero sana naman ok na to, pagtyagaAn ko na lang. Hehe

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

the difference is just certain features on the board... if you don't get it, it doesn't matter. XD

pero try getting this board if your stuck on G31.
Asus P5KPL-AM/PS

for 4K you can get a far better board. kung kukuha ka rin ng VC, i'd have to suggest MSI P43 Neo-F

tnx sir! buti di pa ko nakakabili kc di ako nakaluwas.. im looking this one P43 neo-F!

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

^tama si sir OhNow3P, look for that board^^

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

2 na poh kau ngsabi kaya pwede ulit mgtanong? anu poh kinaganda nito? kahapon kc tiningnan ko na ung review..
as usual konti ulit naintindihan ko.. hehehe.. xenxa na noob lang..

add ko lang.. magpapalit din ako ng psu hec raptor or winpower..
pwede kaya to sa msi neo p43 f at Asus P5KPL-AM?

 

[genocide1394]

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

^ any PSU ngayon, ay pwepwede sa mga mobo ngaun, bstah ung PSU ay meron 20+4 pin / 24pin. .^_^

 

[OhNow3P]

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

P43 is a newer chipset offering more rich features and support for your other PC parts. in rare cases, it makes your PC faster. In your case though ok na rin ang G31(Asus P5KPL-AM/PS), yun nga lang, you'll be missing a lot that the P43 has to offer.

pwede mo i wiki ata ito, kasi andun ito.


Ganito na lang:
ang G31 kasi ang equivalent nyan ay P31. ang sina-suggest namin sa iyo ay P43 na.

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

tanong lang ulit mga master..

anu silbi nung onboard video card(graphics card ba tawag dun?) kung my bukod ka nmng video card? nakakatulong po ba to sa performance?

 

[genocide1394]

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

ung onbaord graphics ay magagamit kung wala kang vc(kung hindi maaford ang vc), pero masmalakas sa performance ang vc. .

saka anu kompatible na kingstone na RAM d2?(mura kc)

DDR2 800 or PC-800? please make sure. kasi PC800 RDRAM pa yun. pero i'll give you the benefit of the doubt na DDR2 na yan kasi PCIe na yang VC mo e. yes, compatible yan. when you go buy, just make sure you get kingston DDR2 800MHz as well. mas mainam, dalin mo yung stick ng ram para maipares dun sa ram na bibilhin mo.

su! nybee talaga. kaya yan no.
anu-ano ba system requirements nyan?
nag browse ako nakita ko 2GHz Procie, 2gb RAM... so... kaya yan.

Athlon X2 5000+ ~3000
GF7 motherboard ~2000
2x2gb RAM ~ 2200
250gb HDD ~ 2200
Generic case+PSU ~ 1300
ODD ~ 1300

CRT monitor!? ~ 4K haha!

tanong lang ulit mga master..

anu silbi nung onboard video card(graphics card ba tawag dun?) kung my bukod ka nmng video card? nakakatulong po ba to sa performance?

Performance wise the IGP(ang tamang tawag sa onboard)does nothing... but NVIDIA and ATi are only releasing boards with IGP. wala nang chipset na walang IGP from these 2. intel na lang ang gumagawa ng walang IGP. Ewan ko lang yung OTHERS... kasi OTHERS nga sila e... (sama e no... )

these newer chipsets bring better peroformance. so yun... wala nga naitutulong yung IGP, pero yung mga kasama nya meron.

here are some other reasons why IGPs are important:
1) in case you encounter OS problems, debugging using IGP is better, kasi less parts
2) IGPs may run hot, but VCs are hotter. so kung pa-word-word lang naman ginagawa mo, HTPC etc, IGP ka na lang at wag na mag VC.
3) Sa mga addik na mas madalas pa magpalit ng VC kaysa pantalon, ang IGP ang nagsisilbe sa kanila habang bakante yung rig nila.
4)mas matipid sa kuryente
5)certain IGP+VC features such as Hybrid power(da best to)

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

@genocide1394- eh di ok lang kahit walang onbaord graphics ung mobo.. tnx!

@OhNow3P-dami ko tlga natutunan sa inyo! sorry kung naguluhan kau.. tama poh DDR2 ung RAM ko..

pwede bang 2x2gb (dual channel)lang ung nakalagay eh 4 ung slots ng msi P43 neo F?

edit ko ulit..

maganda poh ba ung Corsair 400 watts (CX400) or 450W na bilin ko? eto poh specs ko kaya bibili ako..

malaki price difference nila..

Procie c2d 2.66ghz..
mobo MSI p43 neo f(eto ung napili ko na suggestion nyo)
RAM 1gb(2) dual channel balak ko magpalit ng 2x2gb..
HDD 1 160 at isang 250..
VC 8500GT 1gb(magpapalit din ako ng malupit na VC naireready ko muna lahat)
saka my lightscribe pa ko..

at 4 na generic fan!

nagpabili na nga pla ako ngaun ng LCD na 22" LG 225tq, mamaya na deliver!..

Na-curious ako dito ah. Ano 'to? Parang SLI at CrossFire?

hahaha....kaya ko din nasabi kasi mahirap tlga...lalo na't kasama ang monitor...ayan nga 4k lang monitor..bali either 2nd hand LCD o Bnew CRT...at PSU bitin din...server ata yan kaya tingin ko dpat mejo matibay ang PSU...hehehe...anyways pwede nga tlga yan sa budget..tanggalin mo lang Monitor..

about sa IGP...meron pabang VIA Chipset? eto nalang naalala ko beside NVIDIA ATI at Intel..

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

^'Yung onboard nung akin VIA. Kaso hindi ko na gamit, kasi, alam n'yo na... bitin.

This mobo has been with me since 2007, so medyo recent nga lang.
