[ADVISE] Help in Assembling/Building/Choosing/Upgrading Your Computer

OhNow3P · Aug 23, 2008

Hi guys,

I started this thread to help everyone wanting a new computer. All you need to do is post the following:

Code:

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.

Compatible ba yung 1gb ddr2 667Mhz na ram ko dito sa bibilin kong ram na 2gb ddr2 800Mhz?

Yes, ano ba motherboard mo? Kung pagsasamahin mo isang 1GB DDR2 667mhz at isang 2GB DDR2 800mhz, ang mangyayari lang naman niyan ay mag clock-down ung 2GB mo to 667mhz (which is ok naman). Basta supported ng Motherboard mo ang 667mhz, gagana ang 800mhz. Pero kung 533mhz lang supported ng mobo mo... well... medyo mag dalawang isip ka muna...

yup, ok na yung 9600GT, pero para makita mo limitation niya, 19" monitor sana na may resolution na 1440x900 or 1600 x 1200.

EMAX 82PRO - 2600

Case ng cpu, ang maganda diyan usually ung mesh ung giled at coated na black ung loob (hindi siya silver aluminum ah) kasi iwas ground.

alright.. final na.. GTX260 with 19" Liquid Crystal Display monitor.. not sure kung overclock pa processor kase dadating tatay ko para bumili ng pc parts... so tingnan ko baka kasama na dun ung quad core processor in exchange with my AMD 5000+..

Yup, mukhang may budget ka naman eh.

Nice... Inget ako... Kukuha siya ng GTX260... bayaan mo... dual 4890 na lang ako? Joke! :praise:

Please see ung specs na andun kay onee-chan. Add an 17" or 19" monitor worth 4~5k and you'll have a higher midrange gaming pc which will play any game you throw at it. =)

Dun sa post ni onee-chan, ung specs na un ung binigay ko dati... around 14k un. Kaya prototype/DMC4/NBA 2k10/HON etc.

Sa mga nagtatanung ng panibagong build...

Please see past posts bago kayo magtanung, tapos iquote ninyo ung post na un... THANK YOU!!!

kung ako ang tatanungin mo, ok na yan 1gb ng ram mo basta wag ka muna mag migrate sa Win7 or vista. stay put ka muna sa XP. ok lang yan. mas bibilis pa yan dahil parang onboard video pa ang gamit mo. i suggest ipon ka pa onti, bili ka na lang ng VC. ano po ba monitor ninyo?
!

salamat po sir 3p.... kayo lang po yata ang pumansin sa post ko.. hehehe

Win7 po ang gamit ko ngayon.. ok lang naman po, pero mas mabilis talaga ang XP. 70% ang usage ng RAM ko pagstart-up. pero pag normal work na, 50-60% ng RAM ko ang gamit....

tsaka, yung 256MB na VC ko po, built-in po yun, at nang nagWin7 ako, at may nakita na latest driver para sa VC ko, naging 376MB po.. before di pa ako nag update, ang rating ng Win7 sa akin eh 1.0 > kaya walang effects. plain Win 7 lang. ngayon, nang ininstall ko ang update, 3.0 na ang rating ng Win 7 sa akin.. hehe

BTW, i think it's 15" yata. hehe.. 15" LCD monitor po (AOC)

san mo nakita yung 376MB? sa dxdiag? usually yung onboard, gagamitin nya yung ram mo na hindi ginagamit. ok lang yan. halos same setup yan sa laptop ko. 1gb tsaka shared onboard(128MB). ok naman, wag lang masyado marami browser tabs na open

dtboy said:

depende. pero magda-downclock to 667 yang bibilhin mo kung maayos yan, at ok lang yun.

hehe sugges nmn kayo ung mga kulang 15k + lng budget ^^

bakit gusto mo ANF8200? mag 780G ka na lang. halos magkapresyo naman yun. sa case naman, depende yun sa gusto mo, pero kung may extra ka pa, mag branded ka na PSU. HEC Raptor 500W is around 2200. tapos generic case w/out power supply nasa 600-800 lang.

tanggalin mo yung 9600GT sa post ni oneechan at palitan mo ng emaxx 780G-pro yung board.

kk e ung sa power supply meron kasi akong atx na power supply pwede na ba un? tapos pwede ba ung vc na 1gig sa p4ge-mx na mobo kasi d pa ako nabili nang mobo so gagamitin ko muna ung vc kung pwedE? pwede ba?

@bryyyy

Kung ako sayo bro, bili ka nalang ng mumurahing mobo na compatible sa mga AM3 procie yung around 2-2,5k tas bili kanalang ng discrete na VC either HD4670(3,2k) or 9800GT(3,7k) mas maganda peformance nyan kesa bumili ka ng 785g chipset na mobo na around 3,5k-5k. At hindi ka naman mag-DDR3 na mems e, kaya di mo na need bumili ng mahal na mobo.

Sa processor naman, try mo tignan yung Athlon II X3 425 = 3,6k. Add ka lang ng 150petot tripple core na yun.

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

necessary pa po bang mag triple core pag internet cafe? hindi po ba medyo magiging useless yan kasi hindi naman gagamit ng mga multiple thread apps na kakailanganin ng triple core procie? at sa tingin ko medyo mas malakas kumain ng kuryente yan. hehe. pero kasama na sa choices ko pag bibili ako ng pc ang mag athlon 2 x3 435.
