[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

Mga boss patulong naman po. Eto po ang specs ng pc ko.

intel pentium4 1.80 GHz
nvidia gforce mx 800 64mb
ram 512
HDD 40gb, bale tag 20 kasi naka partition

tapos po nilagyan ko ng dota, ang problema ko po pag naglalaro ako ng dota bumabagal sya lalo na pag gumagmit nako ng mga skill sobrang nag la-log na halos di ko na makita.
kaya nag upgrade ako ng vcard, yung nvdia gforce fx5500 256mb.
Hindi po ba pwede sa pc ko yung bagong bili kong v card? Kasi pagtapos ko ma install yung driver yung screen res. nya nka set lang sa 800x600 4 bit., tapos di na pwedeng baguhin.

pasensya na po kung medyo magulo, sana po paki intindi nalang..
sa mga masters jan, PATULONG NAMAN PO...
TIA.

Of course pwedeng pwede ang nabili mong video card.. What the problem is, hindi k nag-upgrade ng video card driver mo.. May kasama na un n driver CD kpg bumili k ng bago, much better uninstall mo ung luma then install mo yung bagong driver. Pwede k rin mag- download s www.nvidia.com and look for your video card specs...

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

dun sa nagtatanong ng 2 na hard disk, pwede yan, pero hindi natin masisiguro until malaman namin brand ng motherboard mo.

@khulett
pwede na yung pinost mo, magandang maganda na yan unless na lang hardcore gamer ka.

eto comments ko:
2xKingston 2GB PC6400 DDR2 800 - 1500 (team elite is better brand here at the same price. or you could go 4gb team elite)
Samsung 500gb 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s - 2750
PowerColor HD 4770 512mb/128bit ddr5 - 5750 (pwede na rin 9800GT at around 4500)
Samsung DVDRW SH-223Q 22X SATA Lightscribe - 1250
Gigabyte Superb 550W - 2550 (mag corsair ka na lang dito or mag HEC. wag tong gigabyte, panget performance PSU nila)
19" Samsung 943BWX/ 933NW Widescreen - 7850 (samsung is a nice brand but expensive. pwede naman LG or Chimei, pero lung ganda ng itsura ng monitor habol mo, walang tatalo sa samsung)

@arugami
hindi ko alam ang pricing ng AGP e, pero like i said, 7300GT DDR3, yan na pinakamababa na kaya magplay ng most games ngayon sa AGP bus. may nagbebenta ata nyan sa tpc ng 1K. so swak sa budget mo.

 

[OhNow3P]

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

@khulett anycasing naman will do, mamili ka na lang ng type mo. go to RSUN or tipidpc and browse the selections there.

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

@renz pwede yan sir... up to 4 ide devices yan e... (i think maybe more, pero 4 na lang para sure)

basta kelangan IDE. mas mahal IDE sa sata tsaka mas mabagal. pero yun lang pwede sa board mo.

any brand will do, just make sure may warranty.

salamat !

 

[OhNow3P]

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

ok gigabyte g31 board. frankly basta gigabyte ok.

@amiel hindi compatible pentium 3, iba ngang pentium 4 hindi rin compatible e.

bumili ka na lang ng motherboard at processor. wag na muna yang gts 250 kung wala ka budget

@khulett
lg 22" 9K 19" 6K
hth

@kimagure
ok na yan. bihira ka naman makakahanap ng deferred payment sa isang ok na computer, unless daan libo gastusin mo. (ie acer predator). free dos means wala itong windows. magpapainstall ka pa nito.
