[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

yep , we should that's why im wondering when u tell us ur playing at max settings in 32" which is a big one with ur GPU , mataas na resolution na kasi un for sure , unless un nga ibaba mo so it's clear to me now that the reason for 1280x768 is to have a Playable FPS by sacrificing Details so it's not max at all. regarding nmn sa text at icon i believe i said "im talking about gaming" , at kung desktop properties mas thumb's up ako sa mababang resolution , mag kaiba na po kasi un diba sir hehe



indeed , thats why to avoid laggy scenarios and have the Optimum performance of the Monitor-GPU at the same time , you need to have the right combination for it .
i guess we just have to be a little more specific when suggesting to avoid misleading , the said GPU can't maximize the settings in ur 32" at all , sacrificing resolution means sacrificing a lot of details. try setting ur resolution higher and you will see it's really visually different.

i guess i dont have to argue with you when you dont know what you are talking about.. if you're not satisfied with the answers given here better to use google rather than questioning some of the advices here..

sir branded at pang matagalan na ba mga yan? thanks.

branded and true rated yan.. search mo din ung item para may idea ka about sa capabilities nito ..

sayang si budget kung gpu at psu lang..kung e mamaximise po si 9k for gpu only kawawa na po ang board at cpu mo..

sa psu walang gaanong problema..pasok na yan for modular
decide ka sir kung baka gusto mo whole upgrade na kung hindi naman..

3k-5k - gpu
2k-3k - psu

para mas makatipid ka?

ano mas ok na proc, quadcore o i3? kung i3 baket kung quadcore baket, thanks

diko lang alam ang alam ko lang kasi kung quadcore ka hangang dun ka nalang kasi halos lga 1155 cpu support nalang po ang nag uupgrade now..

kung i3 ka meron po yang hyperthreading na tinatawag para maging virtual quadcore ata (not 100% sure though)

saka upgrade ready ka kung mag i3 po..

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

ok salamat sa sagot ok lang kahit 500watts na true rated na psu?

ano po bang card ang gagamitin sir?
dika naman siguro gagamit ng mas mataas pa sa 7770 na card no sir?
ok lang po siguro..pero dipende pa din sa processor, hdd and ram mo..lahat din po kasi yan gumagamit ng watts kaya need din po yan e prioritize when choosing PSU

ano ba tama na specs sa ganung gpu? at required bah na quad core ang minumum ng cpu para sa ganong gpu?

huh?dipo ba sir naka athlon kayo?
di naman po required ang quadcore para dun sa gpu sir..
ok lang naman po ang current procie mo para dun..
