[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

@sir janz - sir talaga bang may issue ang intel graphics 4000?
kasi may times na nagrerestart yung pc ko pag nanonood ako ng HD movies, tapos pag nagtaas ako ng quality ng graphics sa games kahit dota. pag todo yung settings nag hahang. di pa ko nakakabili ng VC mejo naging tight budget eh.

Procie : intel i5 3570k
Mobo : Asrock Z77 extreme 4
RAM : Gskill Sniper 4x2 pc1600
HD : 750gb Seagate barracuda
Monitor : LG 22'' LCD

hindi ko sure kung heat problem o yung drive ko ang may problema. kasi puno naman ako ng fans, 8 fans nakalagay sakin kasama na yung pang HD. Wala padin akong cooler ng cpu, yung sa stock palang, hindi naman kasi ako nagoOC pa kasi wala pang VC.

Video card : Asus EN210 Silent 1GB DDR3 64 Bit = 1,400

Pwede na po kaya to pang upgrade ko?
For home and office use lang naman since nanay ko lang naman madalas gumagamit sa bahay for office related work nya.

pwede ko rin kayang ilipat jan yung Seagate 80GB HDD w/ sata, cdrom drive, 500watts powersupply, tsaka atx casing galing sa previous unit na pentium 4 socket 478?

thanks

anu po ba mobo nyo sir? and current resolution? the higher resolution mas kailangan ng 1gb, kung di naman ok na ang 512mb but take note performance may vary with your processor.

magkano po budget and anung mga games lalaruin mo? :salute:

pwedeng pwede sir just make sure na ang hardisk at cdrom ay sata na pareho dahil walang IDE slot sa mobo na napili nyo.

below 10k for desktop cpu lang po.

sa Gilmore kung mas mura dun mga parts.
di ko lang alam kung pwede pa ma salvage yung mga parts galing sa P4 tas socket 478. pwede pa ba? yung previous case na rin ang gagamitin.

@PC Hub Gilmore

MOBO: ASRock A55M-HVS 2400.00
RAM: G.Skill RipJawsX 4GB 2x2 DDR3 1600 CL9 PHP 1250.00
PSU: Antec VP550P PHP 2260.00

TOTAL: PHP 9470.00

Eto optimal build for your budget if you'll be able to use the HDD, ODD, and case from the previous unit.

It's a quad core processor if you don't know

CPU: Intel Pentium G630 PHP 2399.00

Not a good way to spend your budget for an upgrade. Tingnan mo yung ginawa kong build quoting your other post.

Malayo agwat nyan sa performance

GT 630 1GB DDR5 is also a rebadged GT 440 1GB DDR5 and much cheaper too @3.1k

Kung gaming perspective talong talo yang 8 core processor sa dual core i3 ng Intel

- <click>
-

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4 GHz PHP 9999.00
MOBO: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 PHP 6800.00

TOTAL: PHP 16799.00

Gilmore naka base yung pricing nyan ewan ko lang kung pano dyan sa baguio but for the most part eto yung usual cookie cutter build. Kailangan mo lang balansehin yung features na kailangan mo sa mobo at intindihin ang architechture ng isang processor sa pag gagamitan mo. Nagiging mahal pag hindi mo alam ang bibilhin mo :P

orennoj · Sep 25, 2012

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

TY master ^_^
close lng po ata pricing kasi 9999 jan dito 10100 hahaha may patong XD

ano po mas maganda na MOBO ung png z79 ba un gusto ko XD

ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 2011(BF3) or
ASUS RAMPAGE IV EXTREME

or any suggestions n lng po master XD mukhang magpapabili ako sa pinsan ko jan sa manila XD

ehh ung Video card po aus lng po ba?
