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

Yup, just answered that question a few pages back, I believe.

The only "disadvantage" (I don't even think it is), is that some advanced features of a Z77 board will not be useable, such as PCI-e version 3. Realistically though, even with the current PCI-e version technology of video cards, no game or app has actually maxed out the capability of PCI-e version 2. Hence I can't call it a "disadvantage".

In fact you are at an advantage. When the time comes that sofware/apps can indeed maximize PCIe 3, then you are already "future proof" because you already have a board that supports it.

thanks hehe.

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

mga imbang experts and pc techs, pa review naman po ng napili kong specs..

CPU Intel Celeron G530 (socket 1155) 1,795.00
MOBO Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 6,800.00
RAM Kingston HyperX blu 4gb 4gbx1 DDR3 1600 CL9 with heatspreader 1,200.00
GPU Power Color HD 7770 1gb/128bit ddr5 6,110.00
HDD WDC, 500gb Caviar Green 64mb sata3 dual processor hdd 2,750.00
TOTAL: 18,655.00

mag uupgrade din ako later sa core i5 2500K kapag may pambili na ko :)

Usage: for extreme gaming like Call of Duty, Battle Field 3, Dirt 3

Questions:
1. Compatible na po ba lahat ng parts? kung hindi pa anu po ba dapat ipalit? or kelangan i upgrade?
2. Anu po compatible na PSU para sa setup na to?
3. Pano po ba malalaman kung matipid o malakas kumain ng kuryente ang isang pc?
4. Kapag pinalitan ko na ng core i5 2500K at nag overclock ako, lalakas ba kumain ng kuryente ang pc na eto?
5. Ano po ibig sabihin ng bottleneck? bottleneck po ba ang setup na to?

Maraming maraming salamat!! :thanks: :salute:
 
Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose/upgrade your Computer

Boss bottleneck ata.. tingin ko mxado mataas yung gpu para sa cpu...
If want mo tlga yung gpu i suggest mas mtaas na yung proccesor n kunin mo.. if hindi aman lower m yung gpu

asus hd7770 na kunin m almost samr price din aman sa powercolor

psu 500w ok na basta hnd generic

Kung mag OC ka nid mo ng better cooling for the processor kc for sure iinit yan.. pati sa unit dapat ok yung cooling.. pwedeng air cooling or water cooling

:dance:

edit : nga po pla sa tingin ko sandy or ivy bridge processor lng ang compatible sa mga mobo with z77 chipset tingnan mo n rin specs ng mobo na npili mo... if tama ako mas mtaas n yung processor na kunin m

Mag i5 kn tol hehehe dagdagan mo n lng budget for that para hnd kna mag upgrade laterr

ang G530 na processor ay ang "Celeron" ng mga Sandy Bridge. :)

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

budget: 15k (at most, if possible)
usage: graphics design, internet.

Mr. Jhundad gave me this one
1. mboard-asus p5g41c-m lx->2500petot
2. procie-intel c2duo 2.8ghz w/heatsinkfan->2k petot
(surplus)
3. memcard-kingstone 2gb ddr3->1200petot
4. hard disk-samsung 250gb sata->1300petot
5. optical drive-dvdrw lite on sata->800petot
6. keyboard & mouse->500petot
7. lcd '19 ->4500petot
8. casing->1200petot
9. power supply-trendsonic 550watts->800petot
About 14,800 din sir :) Okay naman siguro sa price pero ang habol ko na rin e sa perfomance nya para sa image design.
wala po akong alam tlga sa ganito. First time kase :(

1. Yes. WD Caviar Blue lang naman palitan mo.
2. Kahit 450W true rated PSU with that GPU plus OC is fine. If you think you'll upgrade to a higher GPU then might as well get around 500W.
3. At this generation, most of the CPUs and GPUs have low power consumption compared from the previous ones. On an average setup nasa 300W lang yan or less. 450W is ok pa nga kahit mag OC ka pero syempre headroom ang kailangan mo for future upgrades.
4. Quick answer, yes. Pero syempre depende yan kung gaano kataas ang target mong clocks.
5. In simplest terms yung isang component di makasabay or di mamaximize yung performance dahil mahina.

patanong lng pwede ba raw iOC yung sapphire hd 7770 OC edition...

Depende yan sa tweaks mo kung hanggang saan tingin mo stable, di naman lahat pareparehas ng resulta.
