[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

Hello to all, tanong ko lang po kung ano ang mas wise piliin for gaming. (upgrading from low end computer)


a) i5-2400 w/ nVdia GTS 250 512mb gddr3
b) i3-2100 w/ another graphic card na mataas kesa sa GTS 250 512mb gddr3

note that both have the same hardware components like memory module, casing, psu, etc.
thanks in advance

i3-2100 na mas mataas sa gts250.. at least HD6770, HD7750, GTX550Ti... bottleneck naman kasi yung gts250 sa i5-2400 eh.. kung kaya mo pa itaas yung GPU sa i5-2400 much better at least gtx 560

IMO, depende naman sa user at paggagamitan eh.. pero para sa akin NVIDIA

BTW, AMD na ang bagong tawag sa ATI..

15k sa buong system unit without HDD or 15k para sa GPU, RAM, at mobo lang? mahirap kasi i-fit ang 15k sa i3 na system.. go for APU ng AMD na lang pwede naman mag PS dun at pwede din midrange gaming na..

may 2k ka pa para sa iba mo pang kailangan...

system unit only...

hindi po 2500k ang binigay ko kasi hindi ka naman siguro mag ooverclock.., sayang lang ang pera sa 2500k if not into overclock kaya 2400 nalang... and yung mobo po bang for the buck yan...

power supply po nilakihan ko na ng konti para if need mo mag add ng mid-end video card eh pwedeng pwede na... ^_^ if u have plan to play games...

yung ram 8gb na para di na need mag dagdag at para labas agad performance... and pls. install 64bit OS para ma utilize ng mabuti ang 8gb...

casing simple lang pero elegant

bossing salamat dito ha...ayoko ng fractal core sir since maxado sya maliit sa plan ko... guess ill go for coolermaster elite 431 plus na casing and add ng konti para sa 1 terabyte WD green 64mb cache sata 3....

sir may alam ba dito panu gamitin ang SSD parang mas ok sya... enough nba yun 40gb SSD para bumilis yun boot up and application

ganun po ba...15k po para sa ram,mobo,video card at procy...no need for HDD since mayroon kame from the old PC.
tama kayo, di ko talaga alam kung pano i-fit yung 15k na budget namen. pero i'm considering na wag mag i3, pero what can you advise for me to buy (consider) the mentioned parts... im not familiar with this kasi eh...

salamat po.

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

depende lang naman sa laro yun hindi lahat gumagamit ng cuda at physx.

Orayt sir thanks for answering me . dahil dyan nag search ako ng mga larong need lnbg ng PhysX ( di ko kasi alam na nde pla lahat hehehe ) malinaw na sakin na nde nmn pla lahat ng game need ng PhysX , which makes me think na nde xa siguro ganun ka worth it althou karagdagang ganda , di nmn siguro malaki difference since focus din sa gameplay mismo, ... siguro nmn ung mga darating na games ngaun nde din lht need ng PhysX

Radeon din ako kasi mas mura same core lng din mn halos mas mataas pa nga VRAM nung iba , klaw sir bkt pu mas trip mu Radeon ?

@diaven

OOps di ko nabasa agad bago ako nag post , sorri wala po ako plano makipag kontrahan , gusto ko lng po maliwanagan tlga hehe . Sir bkit po ba mas maganda ang Nvidia dahil po ba ito ay may PhysX ? , sa pagagagamitan , gaming po
