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.

depende na yan sir sa cooler mo sir. .kng stock siguro nsa 3.2-3.3 lang? .pero kung may aftermarket cooler ka, maybe pwede pa 4GHz. .^_^
 
Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose/upgrade your Computer

over all performance pareho lang yan.. kaso lamang ang athlon II sa future upgrades and uses.

saka sa motherboard mo mag ECS 790GXM-AD3 ka nalang 4.5k ung (dati ko kasing preferrd build). yon lang. ddr3 user yang board na yan ha. pero kung gaming ka, tapos hindi ka naman mahilig mag video editing, rendering, etc. and prior mo is only gaming, mag phenom II ka nalang .. orayt.

Thanks sa tip, DDR3 talaga ang hanap ko sir.


hindi ata kakayanin ng mga onboard graphics ang ganun na games, need talaga ng discrete cards. .

actually, maslamang ang Phenom II, though Athlon II is pinahinang version lang ng Phenom II. .comparing Phenom II X2 550 and Athlon II X4 620. .I'd choose Athlon II X4 620. .

why? quadcore :) and the difference is may L3 Cache ang Phenom II, Athlon II is L2, which I really can't tell the difference. .
magkano ba budget natin para sa pc sir?

Hmm, sayang. Di pala kaya ng onboard mga un.
Thanks sa tip, Athlon II X4 620 na lang pipiliin ko. Mas mura kasi hehe :dance:


EDIT:

Kaso parang gusto ko mag Phenom II X4 :unsure:

maganda talaga ang Phenom II X4, dahil makakaomverclock ka ng mataas kesa sa Athlon II X4, masmahal sa Athlon II X4 dahil pang high-end. .pero choice nyo na yan sir :)

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

Hello po. Ask ko lang po kung kakayanin ng desktop ko ang wireless setup.

Balak ko i-convert ng wireless serial port yung monitor ko at gumamit ng bluetooth headset.
May gamit na akong wireless keyboard & mouse.

Kakayanin kaya ng cpu ko yung mga devices? Pentium D ang processor ko.

sir ung problem ninyo na sinasabing "unsupported pixels", hindi kaya ng integrated video mo kasi nga po built in lang yan. saka most all of the laptops are NOT upgradeable. Although there are "brands" of laptops that can be upgraded their video cards.
