[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.

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

Hi! Plano ko po magassemble ng sarili kong desktop (1st time), kailangan ko po ang inyong mga opinyon!

Plano ko gayahin ung build na mahahanap d2: http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/19/2639968/how-to-build-gaming-pc

Ang specs niyan ay:

Processor--------Intel Core i5-2500K
Motherboard----Asus P8P67 Pro
Graphics card---Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti OC 900MHz 1GB
Memory----------8GB Corsair Vengeance CL9 DDR3-1600 RAM
Boot drive-------Samsung 64GB SSD 830
Storage drive---WD Caviar Blue 500GB 7200RPM HDD
Power supply---Corsair Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX
Case---------------Fractal Design Core 3000

Sa initial canvassing ko, papatong yan sa Php 50,000 +/- 5,000. Ang problema ko is masyadong mabigat ang 50,000 na yan!!!

Gusto ko sana magsimula sa rig na may budget na 20k pero ung tipong pwede ko iupgrade in the future hanggang marating ko ang specs na yan.

Naisip ko na kailangan ko na bilhin ung case, motherboard, processor, at psu. Para madali nalang iupgrade in the future ung ibang components. Tama po ba ito? May maisusuggest po ba kayo na ibang specs para sa ibang parts na pasok sa budget at compatible sa setup na to?

Maraming salamat sa tulong niyo!

youwish_ian said:
oo nga eh.. kaso wala cla.. 990fx lng tlga meron sa asrock am3+ nila.. cge try ko ask yan mmya kung meron cla sbhn ko sayo ung sagot hehe.. sana meron!

ok din ba ang 6670 GPU just incase d ko makuha ung 7770? or mag 7750 nlng?

7750/7770 mas okay kung ano abot ng budget. Ayaw mo talaga mag i3? May balanced build na with GPU under a 20k budget nun.

baka sir isama ko nalang ibenta. old model na kasi eh, tsaka baka mas mahihirapan pa ko ibenta pag kulang kulang yung parts.
mga magkano kaya to mabebenta sir? pde kaya ng 6k to?

mobo: asus p5gc-mx/1333
cpu: intel core2duo E4500 2.2Ghz
hdd: samsung hd161hj 160gb 7200rpm SATA
memory: 1Gb kingston ddr2
odd: (defective/ ayaw na magread)
gpu: none

Quick quote, around 4k. Depende pa yan kung ano condition at kung may warranty.

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

Hi, gusto ko pong mag-ask kung anong gaming rig ang pwede po sa 20k kong budget, preferably yung Core i5 2500k na processor, 4gb ram, and 1gb video card.

Gusto ko po sanang laruin yung NBA 2K12, Assasins Creed, Prototype, GTA V, COD.

Ask ko lang po kung including monitor? Kung may monitor ka na, what size nung monitor?
Ask ko rin if system OS mo is 32-bit/64-bit?
Sa 20k na budget and preferred specs mo, you can play those games but in minimum settings. And hindi kasya sa i5 2500k

Thanks.

Mga ka-SB: daan lang ulit ako, tagal ko ng hindi dumadaan dito

May mga nakakakilala pa kaya sakin? or mga kakilala ko pa andito pa? Hehe

All from DynaQuest PC:

CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 PHP 4795.00
MOBO: ASRock H61M-HVS PHP 2400.00
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600 CL9 PHP 1200.00

TOTAL: PHP 20485.00

Solid narin to tska ang dali pa iupgrade if ever. PSU can go up to HD 7850 tapos pag naisipan mo mag i5 na SB, benta mo lang yung i3 tapos palitan ng i5-2320 for example good to go na.

Sir kung magoOC ka, kulang ang budget mo para sa 2500k, kasi kailangan mo ng cooler at true rated na psu. Pero kung hindi ka magoOC, ung normal na 2500 without 'K' ang bilhin mo, pwede pa un hanggang 25k.

PSU:

Corsair CX430 PHP 2230.00
Seasonic 400ES 400W 80+ Bronze PHP 1850.00
Corsair VX550 80+ Bronze PHP 2650.00
SilverStone ST50F-ES 500W PHP 2650.00

Just to give you an idea, nasa 200W lang ang power consumption ng build.

RAM:

Geil 4GB DDR3 1333 CL9 PHP 1150.00
G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1333 PHP 950.00
G.SKill RipJaws 4GB DDR3 1600 CL9 PHP 1300.00
Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333 PHP 1050.00
Team Elite 4GB DDR3 1333 PHP 1150.00

Any of those will do. Get those single stick rams para pag kailangan mo pa ng RAM, salpakan mo lang ulit ng isa pang 4GB. 2 DIMM slots lang kasi ang mobo.
