[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.

Madam, are you open to converting your printer to use Continuous Ink Flow? I think mas makakatipid kayo nang ganun in the long run, lalo na if you really plan to do a lot of printing. Marami po nagbebenta sa malls like SM Cyberzone sa SM North. Mga PHP6,000...converted na to Continuous Ink Flow yung printer na ibebenta sa inyo.

Ano po ba ang pinanggagamitan ng computer na yan sir? Ano po yung OS niya?

Pero I would suggest, looking at your current hardware: either bili na po kayo ng bago, or gumamit ng OS na medyo light lang (mga Linux na OS).

I see. If you can afford to call those shops, baka may branch din naman sila sa area ninyo. Typical printers na ginagamit ng mga shops na nagco-convert is mga Epson or Canon. Which is also the reason why I recommend dun na kayo bumili ng printer mismo sa mga shops na nagco-convert, to avoid the hassle of deciding kung anong printer brand/model ang puwede. Kasi when they sell these printers, naka-convert na po.

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

Sir, advice naman po,
Yung computer ko kase, ma dedelay yung video kapag nag fullscreen ako. Pero kung palili itin ko naman yung video, ok naman.

So I think kailangan na palitan yung video card ko.
Sobrang luma na kase ito. nvidia mx 440 ang gamit ko ngayon.

Meron ba kayo ma aadvice na gpu?

AGP 4X yung kaya nang motherboard ko.

Mahirap na kase mag hanap ng 4X e. Nag try ako mag search sa net pero 8X na yung pinaka ka maliit na nakita ko.

Asus P4VP-MX yung motherboard ko.

1gb+512mb yng ram ko
intel pentium 4 2.4ghz (no hyper-threading)
500w power supply. (design for pentium 4)


Thanks.

At may plano rin kase ako na palitan yung processor.

Mag kano kaya ito P4-3.06 GHz (533 FSB, L2 cache:512KB, HT, C1/D1) Yung may hyper threading if possible.
Yan kase maximum nang motherboard ko.
