[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.

Opo master saka plus Monitor.. Pede ko po ba gamiting iung lumang HDD na IDE gamit IDE/SATA Converter for my new build?

TNX

Pwede.

Di mo parin sinabi kung san ka bibili

Parts by parts ba yang bibilhin? Wala ko alam sa pag buo ng PC eh. Kaya gusto ko ung buo na. Pero salamat narin.

Malaking luge kung kukuha ka ng pre-built package sa ganyan budget. Sakin ka nalang bumili haha joke.

Ang gawin mo bilhin mo sa isang store lahat ng components tapos sila na mismo paasemble mo libre lang yun pag ganun ginawa mo.

hanggang 15k lang po kasi budget ko. opo yan po mismo ung promo nung sa gaisano sa Gilmore. nagemail na po ako sabi kaya naman daw po nung on board kasi 1GB daw po ung VGA.

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

hanggang 15k lang po kasi budget ko.

Di na ba kaya mag ipon? Alanganin tlga 15k with monitor eh. 20k kaya pa ba?

opo yan po mismo ung promo nung sa gaisano sa Gilmore.

Di tlga recommended ang pre-built package kung gaming habol mo.

nagemail na po ako sabi kaya naman daw po nung on board kasi 1GB daw po ung VGA.

Sales agent ang kausap mo dyan kaya habol nyan sayo ay makabenta lang. 1GB is just vRAM kaya napakapointless ng sinabi sayo.

Adik ako sa Dota 2 paps at enjoy talaga sya laruin kung di ka naglalag at medium/high settings ka. Mabibitin ka lang take my word for it

Ang problema kasi sa set ng Gaisano ay generic yung power supply. Talagang sakto lang talaga yung build na yun ng walang video card.

For the same price this is a more balanced build para sa budget mo based sa PC Hub. Gilmore din yun.

CPU: AMD Trinity A4-5300 3.4 GHz PHP 2190.00
MOBO: ASRock FM2A55M-DGS PHP 2390.00
RAM: G.Skill RipJawsX 4GB 2x2 DDR3 1600 CL9 PHP 1440.00
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 500GB SATA3 PHP 2299.00
PSU: Corsair VS450 PHP 1750.00
ATX: HiP 5827 PHP 770.00
MON: BenQ G610HDAL 15.6" 1366x768 LED PHP 2690.00

TOTAL: PHP 13529.00

Eto marerecommend ko kung sa Dota 2 lang sa budget mo. Di ko sinagad yung 15k mo pero ang kulang dyan ay yung peripherals at optical drive.

Sadya na walang video card yan dahil APU processor yan ng AMD. Obvious naman na mas demanding ang BF3 kesa sa RF paps hehe.

Time to do your own research paps di ako mahilig sa spoon feeding

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

mga sir balak ko po kcng magpalit ng processor from pentium4 to dual core anu ba nid?
d n b kylngan upgrade yung bios?

curious lng aq kc pag-nagstart-up pc q nklagay yung SAMSUNG tpos meron sa bndang baba pentium 4 kapag pinalitan q po ba ng processor mapapalitan din yung splash screen n yun?

 

[neo1988]

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

@clabouter

not sure about sa splash screen pero this are the thinks you need to know bago ka magupgrade ng processor:

Dualcore this days have this specifications:
Socket 1155 Motherboard
Pentium G Series Processor
DDR2/DDR3 Ram

so kung naka socket 478 ka na motherboard need mo palitan lahat dahil walang compatible na dualcore processor sa socket 478...

kung naka socket 775 ka naman na motherboard need mo lang palitan processor mo (basta intel chipset 945 pataas ang chipset ng motherboard mo pag mas mababa pa sa 945 palitan mo narin yan )

socket 775 dualcore processors:
Pentium D
Core2 Duo

Kung low resolution ka lang naman at habol mo lang yung playable fps ay kahit alin diun. Discrete GPU is always better kung gaming yan lang tandaan mo

Budget paps

ts ask ko lng po totoo po ba ung 18k petot nkabuo po xa ng i5??un kase sabi ng comp xop owner d2 samin e.xa daw po kase nagbuild thx

Hulaan ko generic psu at case tapos single 2gb or 4gb ram, cheap matx mobo, 2nd hand hdd at odd, low end gpu. tapos papaikutin yung ulo mo na malakas na to sa gaming dahil 1GB yung video card hahaha.

Nakakatuwa yung ganyang cafe owner or technicians na gusto kumita.

sir janzzon ask ko lang kung ano po pinagkaiba ng mobo na WINDOWS 8 READY & WINDOWS 8 COMPATIBLE?

Wala. Marketing lang yan.

Kung matinding rendering ang gagawin mo dyan ay hindi talaga sapat ang 18k paps.
