[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.

Tinanggal ko muna ang prices pero Less than 16.5K yan. Hindi naman siguro masama kung magdagdag ako ng konting money since matagal tagal rin naman kaming hindi nag invest sa computer. Pero ayaw din naman naming mag over-Invest sa PC. Sana matulungan nyo na lang ako sa pagpili jan sa mga yan. Again gusto ko lang po i pin-point ang klase ng Rig na hanap ko...

1. Gaming Rig BUT NOT a "high-end" gaming Rig and at the same time;

2. Office Type Rig BUT NOT a "high-end" office type rig, yung hindi lang mabagal lalo na pagdating sa Graphics and Performance.​

I just have a few question's...

1. Where is this PCHub? Computer Shob ba ito?
2. Kahit ano bang klase ng Casing eh pwede? Hanggat maari kasi ayaw namin ng mukang Pang gaming na Case.
3. Saan maganda mamili nitong mga parts na toh?

salamat sa inyoooo...

salamat sa inyoooo...

kung ako papipiliin dun ako sa ginawa kong build pero kung i3 gusto mo mga nasa 20k yung nagawa kong build.. tignan mo to Intel Core i3 2100 build

yung dalawang build na ginawa ko (A4 at i3) gaming rig yan pero nasa low-mid range lang yan not HIGH END


answers:
1. Meron nito sa Gilmore/SM Fairview/Pampanga soon to open at alabang.. shop nga ito, yung bilihan ng mga pc parts hindi yung rentahan ah , suggested store ko to kasi mura ang prices nila compare sa iba at meron sila low-high end pc parts.. kumpleto na din kumbaga..

2. kung ayaw mo ng pagandahin yung PC mo kahit generic na lang pero kung gusto mo better airflow at cable management pero hindi mukhang pang gaming, try mo NZXT Source 220..

3. PCHUB/PCNETMILES/DYNAQUESTPC.. yang tatlong yan halos di nagkakalayo ang presyo nila.. mamili ka na lang ng parts kung san ka makakamura kasi same brand naman pero mas mura sa kanila..

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

bakit po parang ang mamahal ng mga HDD ngayon?

Floods on Thailand causes equipment on factories na masira.
Maybe on June babalik na ang mga hdd prices.

Pa help po na taposin 2ng build ko and estimated individual price per parts and total price poh, pra may basehan ako pag-order ko.

On cooling, you might wanna try Coolermaster V6GT.
On AVR, go for a UPS. a 350w UPS pede na yan.
On monitor, always look for samsung. IPS Panel.
On HDD: any HDD. pero if you want to boost your rig, buy a 60GB SSD @ 6k. It will and will definitely boost your gaming rig experience.

3. Saan maganda mamili nitong mga parts na toh?

salamat sa inyoooo...

1. PCHub shop po yan. Meron yan sa Gilmore.
2. Yup kahit ano casing pede, pero remember the exterior is the 1st you'll see on your desktop. No one would be impress if panget ang exterior. If you want, you can opt for the Fractal cases ranges 1,2k to 2,5k (entry level)
3. PCHub, you may see prices at tipidpc
Dynaquest, you can msg. me. Im a friend of Dynaquest.

@diaven,

HDD: RMA/2nd Hand 250/320gb PHP 1500.00
PSU: FSP HEXA 500watts 80PLUS PHP 2160.00

Yup pede lagyan ng GPU na GT440. BUT.... If lalagyan mo just upgrade the cpu to a6 or a8. For sure if you only use 19" LCD (1366x768 reso) then mas maganda ang experience mo. Then if you can add GPU on latter part (after 6months) then you can add 6670 para it will be crossfire to your APU.

sir ,, ask ko lang malalaro mo rin ba dito ung nbk 2k12, prototype, at ung latest resident evil sa ultra settings ?..

NOT ON ULTRA SETTINGS. No Videocard can cost 39k kung meron naman pala desktop rig na 15k para makalaro ng Ultra settings.
If you want the best gaming experience, then you must be willing to spend alot.
If this is Llano a8-3870 and your monitor is 19" (1366x768) then pede ka maglaro ng high settings on battlefield 3. (on prototype, nba 2k12, resident evil = yes. mas demanding ang bf3)

Note: If on full reso, 1920x1080 maybe you can get at low-mid settings on battlefield3. Just be sure meron ka 19" monitor.

edit lng .. pahabol .. sir yung tinutukoy ko pong video card dito ung igp ng A8-3870k kung makakaya nia ung mga games n yan .. thanks po sa pagsagot ..

YES APU of the AMD A8-3870 can play most of the games. (1366x768) If you want to boost the graphics of APU then you can buy 6670 at latter part. Siguro after a year or 2 when demanding games are more GPU intensive.

The good part, you dont have to upgrade the whole rig just to play games on 2014.

sir ..

ask lang ako

kung bibili po ako ng

ASUS M4A87TD/USB3

na mother board para makapag build ng cpu

ask ko lang kung magaan na sa bulsa ung ibang hardware?

i love playing high graphical games

like aion,cabal, prius and etc?

and i like big harddisk and memorry usage +4gb ram

Sir those are not high graphical games.
Is this upgrading? Share me the current specs of your desktop.

sir anung ssd and hsf? sure ka po ha thnx btw

SSD is Solid State Drive.
HDD is Hard disk Drive.

HDD's are the bottlenecks of a desktop. The response time of HDD are way too slow. Thats why they come up with a SSD. SSD has no mechanical drive, parang pinalaking flash drive. So no moving parts ang SSD compare on HDD. Even if gawin mong 2600k ang processor mo then HDD pa din gamit mo, you wont feel the difference since its a HDD that stores the data.
Pero if you use a 2500k and a SSD, for sure much better pa sa 2600k and HDD.

HSF = Heatsink Fan. Stock HSF of Intel sucks. Mind you, maganda mag overclock ang mga Intel 1155 processors. You can just go to bios then up the multiplier, boom. Meron ka ng 4.5ghz at stock voltage. (Overclocking = boost your cpu) So if you overclock, you need a decent hsf. So dun pumapasok ang after market coolers.

*and also, even if you wont overclock, a decent hsf is required to prolong the life of your cpu.

sir tanong ko lang, pwedi bang pagsabayang gamitin ang dalawang magkaibang ram, magkaiba ung brand and size?

TIA

Yes. 99% aandar. 1% chance na incompatible.

pede tanong medjo offtopic pero tingin ko d2 ko dpt itanong 2...
