[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.

It's cheaper to rent a VPS/Dedicated than hosting it yourself. Nagpatakbo narin kme ng RO server dati kaso pinerahan lang namin yung players at di namin inayos so di rin nag tagal haha.

@pm nalang po yung wala pang sagot. busy kasi ako lately.

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

TS & Guys.

okay na ba itong setup ko for budget 60K Less i prefer mobo that support SLI so i choose that board.

my future upgrade would be adding 120GB SSD OCX Agility & GTX 660 again. why didn't i choose Ti version of GTX660 because it cos me too much money that will exceed my budget bracket. my GPU & CPU i can OC them with no problem using the H50 Hydro cooling?.

this is the thing that i will use for this assembly item.

Gaming: LoL (League of Legend), Dota2, Guild Wars2, Tera Online, Witcher 2 (latest kung kaya naman), Dragon Age: Inquisition. i hate FPS ^_^ it make my vertigo more active.

Software: 3D Studio Max (Static Rendering & Little animation), Maya (Complex Modelling & Little in Rendering), ZBrush (Complex Modelling), After Effect (for my video editing), Photoshop and so on, & Notepad (joke) ^_^


Processor: i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro series H50
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)

Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1

Power Supply: Corsair CX Series 750W Non-Modular
Casing: Cossair Carbide Series 400R

Monitor: Asus Vs239H-P 23" IPS Monitor

Accessories: Tt eSports Ryujin Mouse & Amaru Keyboard
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DGX
Case Fan: Corsair Air Sries AF120 Dual Pack

Note: any suggestion kung san ako makakakuha ng murang item? i prefer the area from LRT2 Guilmore marami kasi dun so di ko alam kung sino dun pede magbigay sakin ng lahat ng item na ito at yun mga suggestion nyo for my item revision at sino yun nagbibigay ng freebies & the holy mother of discount

What's your budget para sa system unit lang. Don't include peripherals.

Just a personal note, I wouldn't waste my money sa Tt eSports bundle na yan. It's either your buy a cheap rubber dome keyboard (A4Tech or Logitech) or go full mechanical. And the sound card is a big waste of money if you're not an audiophile. Another thing is no need for aftermarket fans until mabuo mo yung rig dahil pwede mo naman ilagay yan at a later time. Spend your money wisely.

thanks for the response Janzzon. my budget would be 50KMAX or less & which store would give me a nice discount and also the freebies. free keyboard & mouse & mse pad. para talagang di ko na bilhin yung Tt eSports.

Intel i5-3570K Ivy Bridge

Corsair Hydro series H100i (ill use this to OC upto 4.4 Ghz my CPU) else if may suggestion ka sir for future-proofing what else? H50 is much cheaper than this but i dont know where to buy. i only look at PCHub price list and they dont have H50

Asus P8Z77-V LK

Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)

Blue 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s (id reduce the amound of storage for future-proofing also, will use those SSD for my boot system and software)

GeForce GTX 660 Ti (the price between "660 & 660 Ti" is almost the same) or? 7950 3GB 384Bit (they say in vray, there's no update from the driver to support RT Rendering/GPU Rendering while in Nvidia the Cuda can or the driver is up to date to support GPU Rendering/RT.

Corsair Carbide Series 400R (im not fanatic of Corsair or any i just want the feature of this ATX specially for the 240mm fan in the upper part that is why get the H100i

Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Ed (for the rear panel ill do OC also for the GPU so i need a better ventilation, if im going for much cheaper i dunno what is the alternative for this fan preferable a better one also.

Corsair Builder Series 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE (non-mod) (im going to sell this one also for future-proofing to change in Corsair CX750 or GS750 80+ Bronze to prefer the SLI) on the other hand ill stick to CX600W because some forum said that if you do SLI it will not giving you a boost for rendering. usually per core ang computation ng vray so parang ma stock lang ang vray sa isang GPU for rendering at ang isang SLI isa wala lang.


(sorry for long explanation masyado kasing hetics at talagang importante sakin tong setup sa budget na 50K monitor not included and accessories)

- I could probably build something better compared sa build mo if focus is on what you need and not what you want. As I mentioned, spend money wisely.
- There's no such thing as future proofing. Only preparing for the next 2-3 years as technology is getting better not worse.
- Alamin mo yung store kung san ka bibili dahil di pareparehas ang offerings at policies when it comes to freebies and discounts.
- Kung wala ka discount sa Tt eSports na keyboard/mouse then get buy it at all. I personally use a mechanical keyboard and I will never go back to using rubber domes.
- Mag Haswell ka na.
- H100i is a waste of money when the Swiftech H220 is already available. Otherwise just go with a heatsink which performs better at a cheaper price.
- Just get the GPU that best supports the softwares you are using. AMD knocks Nvidia down when it comes to GPGPU and OpenCL tasks. CUDA is useless if the software doesn't support it.
- As I mentioned sa earlier post, get the aftermarket fans at a later time.
- Get a better OEM sa PSU. The ones you picked are decent but they are not the best when there's a better one for a cheaper price.
- If you don't play higher than 1080p resolution then wag ka na mag SLI/XFire. Just get the best GPU you can afford. Otherwise it's a waste of money lalo na at may stuttering.
- Wala ka pang SSD.
- If you insist in doing an SLI/XFire later on then better get the a 16x/16x mobo now and a higher wattage PSU.

sir parang uber yung GPU sa phenom II hindi ata mag sasalubong yan, sabayan lang natin yung board & gpu nya sir. at isa pa sir mahal ang 650

Paps, wag ka nalang mag post pag di mo alam sinasabi mo. Masakit po sa mata.
