[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.

para dun sa price na yan. Oo naman. ehehe. actually di mo kailangan ng 2600k kung games lang habol mo. same performance lang sa 2500k. And if you are going to overclock it kailangan mo ng magandang hsf. kahit ilagay mo lang sa 4.0ghz. ok na ok na yun. safe na safe pa for 24/7.

570 reportedly na nasusunog, umiinit. pero syempre sa mga reference design yun. if non-reference baka wala na yung issue. pero if ako sayo stick to 560Ti and 2500k. since sabi mo nga youre only a HS student. you wont do benchmarking anyway. @_@

wat po ung HSF??


Cguro po sa rig ko +i5 2500k OC + 560 Ti
kakayanin po ba in max settings ung mga mabibigat na games at mga latest games that need best computer hardwares ??

Sobra sobra ang need mo para lang sa games. If gamit mo lang 23" monitor ok na ok na yan. If gamit mo 20" below sobrang sobra na yan. pede pa naten ibaba. at yung mga sobra pede sa HSF, mga burloloy, keyboard at mouse. etc.

HSF -- heatsink fan.

d ko po na gets ung sinabi nyo ? ^_^

ung "Sobra Sobra ang need mo para lang sa games"

what does it mean po??

Sobrang Okay na panglaro ng high demand games in max settings or Need ko pa ng mga Mamahaling Pc parts ?

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

sir, does the Sapphire HD6790 1gb/256bit ddr5 fit with Antec TP550w or should i get 650w?
tsaka ung avr po ba kailangan 550 din?


sir wala po akong mahanap na pagbibilhan ng antec tp 550w.. T_T
i'm considering Seasonic (S12EP) 650watts 80PLUS Bronze @ PHP 3740.00, FSP 600watts Epsilon series, 80PLUS -@3,130 and XFX 650watts Pro Core Edition, 80PLUS @ PHP 4180.00

Depende sa resolution na gagamitin mo & monitor. Kung gamit mo below 20'' with a 1440x900 resolution sa cysis 2 with a video card like Nvidia gtx 560 ti, safe to say na pwede mo imax setting un and mag reach ng 60 fps. Kung mag stick klang sa mga monitors na ganun, sobra nga tlaga un gtx 560. Hanap ka ng mas mababang model ng videocard like gtx 550. & ung sosobrang pera eh pwede mo pa ipambili ng useful accessories ng maggng rig mo.

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

Mga sir advice naman po ng gaming rig.
Budget is around 20-25k.
Kung pwede rin po ay i5 ung processor at 1TB po ung Hard Drive

Sir sabi ko nga po sobra sobra na ang binubuo mo na PC. means di mo naman kailangan ng ganon kataas kung 23" lang ang monitor. Di mo naman kailangan ng ganon kataas kung di ka naman nagbebenchmark. i5 + 560Ti is enough na for 3-4years of usage. yung sukli mo dun sa 2500k, eh bili mo nalang ng roccat products. mas mapapasarap mo pa ang gaming mo.

sir, does the Sapphire HD6790 1gb/256bit ddr5 fit with Antec TP550w or should i get 650w?
tsaka ung avr po ba kailangan 550 din?

sir wala po akong mahanap na pagbibilhan ng antec tp 550w.. T_T

Sobra pa po ang 550w. kahit wala ng avr, kahit direct sa socket pede. pero kung gusto mo ng extension pede na din ang cheap avr. or else pedi din ang ups.
kung 6790 lang po ang vcard nyo, at no OC. pede na ang 500w. pede ang fsp bluestorm pro 500w/600w, pede din ang ocz stealthxstream 500w variant. pero kung brandchoice ka, pedi ang seasonic din at xfx (i use xfx) nasa sa inyo po kung san nyo gagastusin ang pera.

We're here lang po to help you to be a wise buyer. para yung pera na sobra pede ilaan sa ibang parts. or pede isave in future upgrades.

ok ba yan sir villain?

yup ok na ok yan. on hsf, pede na ang coolermaster 212+. same performance, pero cheap on price.
btw, on mobo, i have that mobo before. wag mo i-OC.
look at the cpu support list sa msi, it can only supports 95w.
pero your processor pag naka unlock, 125w na yan.

kaya easy lang on mobo.

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

bakit po core2duo ang hanap nyo? meron na ba kayo current setup? current specs? or anything?

kasi lga 775 aka core2 are obsolete na. as in OLD na..


core2duo and 560ti is bottleneck.



Nope. No facts or no basis na mainit ang amd sa intel. or vice versa.

Ang pinagkaiba -- Intel has a major impact on market due to alot of ads. tapos laptop manufacturers and desktop oem are likely to win intel's heart. pero this was way back 2006-2010. (dualcore/core2duo/core2quad) and to the benchies of 1st gen i3/i5&i7 to a whooping OC 5.0ghz @ air of sandybridge.

On the other hand -- the time when AMD wins is when 2001-2005 (athlon x2, or BE series/1st 64bit processors) this was the time that AMD beats intel. To date, from 2006 AMD is lacking performance due to new technology of Intel. So what AMD does is the so-called 'price per performance'.

To date, am3 processors -- still.. up until now can be advise because of cheaper prices. they were at the entry level and mainstream desktop.
on Intel processors (1155) -- they are now king of the hill. They belong to the enthusiast.


Future: am3+ will be coming out next month or 2months. AMD said it can have the same performance of sandybridge. (hopefully yes, so we can have a CPU war)


On netbooks and laptops, nowadays APU designed by AMD is winning at this. Why? because the gpu is in the cpu. and the tdp is lower or same as atom but better performance.

thank you very much sir..

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

@naobi

kasi meron din ibang brands na pwede mong pagpilian at maganda rin ang reviews.


@benedick134

paps mas magandang built ang makukuha mo dyan sa pera mo...
backread ka sa mga previous posts ng mga nagsusugest dto at makikita mo difference.
at least alam mo specifically ang brand na makukuha mo. sayang pera mo kung bibilhan mo
yan


for example lng to wala pang monitor:

Processor Intel Core i5-2500K Unlocked

Processor 6M Cache, 3.30 GHz PHP 9700.00
mb lga1155, Asrock Z68 Pro3 B3 PHP 6260.00

==
yan AOC 16 inch monitor mga nasa 3500+ kung di ako nagkakamali

wait ka suggestion ng iba ,,.. matutulog nako pagod sa review sensya na andyan si sir villain_allain ..

case, pili ka nalang for 2k-3k case.
This is a balance build for non-OC users. pag binaba mo ang mobo jan, you sacrificing the mosfets and nb. Pag bumili ka ng murang mobo, mahihirapan ang mobo for the 2300. and for the ram, you need atleast 4gb para hindi bottleneck ang processor. for the videocard, you can play latest games on this. On PSU, this is the important part. Pag binaba mo to, or try to use a generic psu. then your risking everything.

Hopefully you get this built. Thanks.

worth po ba yung price nya?

My built above is greather than this. Magkano po ba ang real budget mo. As in real.
San mo pala galing ang built na to? Wheres the graphics card? tapos its 2600k, tapos yung psu is generic anyway.
Before you buy, read my pass 10 post. Ill wait for your budget para mas malinaw. Thanks

I dont recommend the Hec Rapter II nowadays, eventhough I use it before. Sa price na 2k, mas madami ka pa makukuha na well built and real facts are at 80+ site. Ex. FSP Bluestorm Pro @ 500w, or the best bang of the buck AntecTP550 @ 2500. <this is made by seasonic.
For your built, get the RipjawsX 1600, why? Sandybridge mobo is happy at higher frequency.

Try this one:

case, hanap ka po ng 2k-3k. You can see CoolerMaster, NZXT, Aerocool or Thermaltake.

additional: add odd for 950.

Less than 30k ang budget mo.
