[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

hi paps., pa build naman ng Intel PC, w/o monitor,mouse,keyboard
gilmore shop. 20k budget

Gaming 24/5 24hours a day, 5days a week
play., MMORPG,tera,gw2,lol,bless online, etc.

intel sana yung MOBO,and yung SLI ready na na motherboard at video card., ah. which is better pala. radeon or geforce?, kayo n bahala sa video card kung ano mas better brand .TY

You expect too much sa budget mo, be realistic paps.

pa advice po worth 10k lng po for non-gaming pc lng ung tamang net lng,chat like skype at low quality games lng d nmn pang online or like ng mga pang shop na games...

Go for desktop packages nalang sir.

Sir tanung ko lang san shop tong build mo pati Okay ba to pag Tinodo ko lahat ng Video Settings ng DOTA2? and magkano aabutin pag ginawang 16GB RAM tapos 4GB na GPU? TY

Hindi naman demanding game ang Dota 2. I could max Dota 2 on 1080p sa 15k budget

- Kung panglalaro mo lang ang 16GB useless yan
- Kung hindi 1440p or multi monitor gamit mo then useless ang 4GB sa graphics card

mga sir balak kong bumili ng internal HDD ko kase nasira ung luma ko(hitachi/toshiba) any suggestion po kung anung mgandang brand ng HDD?

Kahit ano. It boils down kung kaninong RMA process mas madali para sayo.

Hi tanong lang, gagana ba hybrid crossfire ng A6 3670K sa HD 6670 GDDR5??

Yup although mag run sya as DDR3. Better get the cheaper DDR3 version kung di ka pa nakakabili.

Hi po mga sir,

Can anyone help me to set up my cpu?
My Budget is around 20 - 25k

Can play High End Resolution Games no lags, like Resident Evil Racoon City 2k13 etc.

Processor: i7 or Phenom
Motherboard: Asus
RAM: ranging to 4 - 16gb

Video Card: 1 or 2gb

Optical Drive: No Idea

Power Supply: No Idea
Casing: Prefer the Best !!

i'll just use my old hard drive para makatipid
thanks in advance for helping me

Be realistic sa gusto mo sir

hello, pwede po ba i crossfire eto: Asus hd7770 at Sapphire hd7770, same cla hd7770 pero different manufacturer. pwede po ba? tnx.

As long as reference cards ang kukunin mo.

Mga sir, may question lng po ako. anu po ba ang first consideration before mag-custom ng cpu or desktop. (sa hardware po ang tinutukoy ko). regardless na po yung price (pag-iipunan naman po eh) . If MOTHER BOARD muna po ba before other parts. feeling ko po kasi dito nakadepende ang ibang parts eh. anu po sa tingin nyo mga sir?

Thanks in advanced!

Thanks din kay T.S for this Thread.

At least for me eto:

1) Socket/Platform
2) Form Factor
3) Usage

Ano mas maganda apu + dual xfire o cpu + video card for the same price.
Pang mid end gaming poh.

Kung simula pa lang kakabitan mo na ng graphics card then wag ka na mag APU.

[madmac]

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

Hingi sana ako advise, meron na ko monitor, benq, keyboards and mouse madali nanaman bilhin, kaya nagiisip ako if bibili na lang ako cpu para magdesktop na lang sana ako.


Pero sa tingin nyo po , sa gastos, mas tama ba na mag laptop na lang kaysa bili cpu? Kung ang gastos eh ka presyo na ng isang magandang laptop?

Processor: mas mabilis okay, within budget range sana
Motherboard: not particular, pero kung w/in budget at maganda, pwede
RAM: 4gb up

Video Card: not particular, kung within budget at maganda pwede

Hard Drive: 500gb
Optical Drive: any

Upgradable hardware parts capability sa cpu

Power Supply: not quite sure here
Casing: any

Budget around 10k pero sana maganda na yung cpu.....

Intended use, nuod movies, net surfing, gaming (tipong kaparehong specs lang ng red alert , di naman ako ganung kahilig sa mga full blood games na kadalasan nilalaro ng mamayang pilipino sa net shops), word, ppt, excel, burning stuffs, itunes, basta lang naman ang importante di sya nag lalag masaya na ako

Wanting to install win7 or 8 or kung kaya pa ang sunod na windows why not? Pero pinaka priotity is win7 and or 8



Salamat sa suggestion nyo

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

Useless mag i3 kung mahinang graphics card naman ipapares mo. Yung i3 ay dual core lang din at ang noticeable difference lang sa Pentium ay Hyper-Threading which is di naman gaano nauutilize majority ng games. Think smart paps, think smart lalo sa limited budget.

Please naman matuto mag search. Spoon feeding gusto mo kuya. Ang obvious naman ng pinagkaiba ng graphics card. Istress ko ulit.. OBVIOUS!

Sorry po kuya. Di po kasi ako masyado maalam sa mga magagandang video card ngayon. Bale po nakabili na ako ng desktop kanina lang. Heto po yung specs, ok lang po ba to? o may iuupgrade po ako pag nagkataon?

CPU: Intel Core i3 3220 3.3 ghz, 2-Core, 3mb, HD2500, gpu: 1.05ghz, box (lga1155)
MOBO: Gigabyte H77M D3H (LGA1155) H77, mATX, 4*ddr3
RAM: 4gb ddr3 1600 G.Skill RipJaws X, red (F3 12800CL9S 4GBXL) CL9 (9 9 24) 1.5v
HDD: 500gb WDC Caviar Blue (WD5000AAKX) 16mb sata hdd
GPU: 1gb Inno3d GT 630 ddr5, 128bit, pcie
ATX: Cougar, Spike, atx, no psu, black, 1x120mm, USB3.0

Bale inabot po ng 17k yung sa mga yan.
Yung sa PSU po di na po ako bumili, ginamit ko nalang po yung dati ko. Okay pa naman po.
