[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

nakatawag na ko. Wala nga daw sila 7750. Hanap na lang kami sa ibang store dun sa gilmore..

Any suggestion ng ibang vidcard?

Powercolor HD 6770 for the same price (maybe a bit more) and performance but more power consumption. Kayang kaya naman yan ng intended PSU mo.

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

^wag ka na mag AMD. Intel na ung kunin mo.

Benchmarks will tell bakit. 1155 is the best for computer shop ngayon.

Mas makakamura ka pa. Even ung Celeron dual core (sandy bridge) can outperform AMD Athlon II 260.

Ilipat mo nalang ung sobrang pera sa PSU.

Trust me.

mag 1600cl9 2x2gb ka.
make sure lang ung psu magpalit ka agad. kahit ung 450w lang. ang baba lang ng consumption mo.
sa procie, mag celeron dual core ka nalang at h61 na mobo.
WHY?? kasi mas malakas pa un sa Athlon II 260.

Eto parekz sana makatulong sau.., eto din bibilhin ko sa saturday sa pchub gilmore...
