[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

I've never been a fan of AMD or ATI pero madami ako nababasang reviews about sa HD7770, ok naman sya for gaming. And I think wala naman problema kahit ano pa procie mo eh.

So boss i push ko yung Sapphire HD 7770 ? or palagan ko un Sapphire R7 250 1gb ddr 5 ??

Go for the HD7770, the R7 250 isn't even as powerful as the HD7750.

Processor: Intel Core i3-4130
Motherboard: Asus H87M-E
RAM: Kingston HyperX 4GB

Video Card: ok po ba ito ? V617 GT610 2GB (hindi ko sure kung ano brand nyan kasi nagpaquote lang po kapatid ko)

Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB
Optical Drive: XXXX

Power Supply:
Casing: XXXX

monitor: Samsung

Accessories: XXXX

TIA

Question: What is this rig for? Web browsing? Gaming? Photoshop and etc?
If it is just for web browsing, then I suggest na kahit wag ka na bumili ng video card. If it is for gaming, then how much is your remaining budget? Assuming na you still need to buy the other hardwares, try to squeeze some bucks for a GTX 650ti, or HD7770, or R7 260/260x/265. If it is for photo/video editing, you'll need a much powerful cpu and gpu than that.

Good question, nope it is not necessary na pareho sila. They don't affect each other, so a GDDR5 video card will work on your DDR3 system.
Let's just put it this way, your CPU or processor is the one who access your system memory or your RAM (the DDR3). While your video card or its GPU graphics processing unit is accessing its own RAM which is the GDDR5.

@jerome214 a detailed video explanation of DDR memory vs GDDR memory from youtube

Walang anuman
Yep hirap ng buhay, kaya dapat be wise on how to setup your own rig.

Usually pag binuksan mo yung side case ng cpu mo ganito ang itsura nya sa loob.
View attachment 165122

yung nasa taas na box na may nakalagay na Corsair CX500 ayan ang power supply. May sticker na nakadikit dyan kung ilang watts ang kayang isupply ng psu mo minsan nakalagay sa baba yan depende sa case mo.

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose a Computer

Pa-help naman po build ng cpu. Main use ay autocadd, revit, mga ganung klase tapos yung kaya din sana ang mid to high-end games. Budget po ay more or less 20k. Salamat sa sasagot.

AFAIK AutoCad needs a lot of cpu power, not sure if they utilize processors with hyper-threading enabled. So we're looking for a cpu with lots of cores. As for Intel, I think you'll be fine with a core i5 (3570 or 4440 if you're not going to overclock, around 8k sa pcexpress). Pair it up with a H61 or H81 motherboard (price range is from 2k to 2.5k). For the RAM, sakto na siguro yung 8GB to 16GB (1,950 per 4GB stick ng DDR3 1600mhz Kingston). Sa video card naman, on-sale pa din ang Power Color HD7790 sa PCHub (5.1k) (or you can get a better card than this, eto lang suggestion ko kasi kapos na sa budget) since gusto mo din mag gaming sa rig na gagawin mo. For your power supply and case dipende na sa budget mo since around 20k na yung total nung rig. And sorry if Intel ang ginamit kong processor, mas mapapamura ka siguro kapag AMD ginamit mo pero I know nothing about AMD processors eh . Di pa kasi ako nakakagamit ng AMD

salamat sir.. nakalimutan ko ilagay yung purpose nya. more on web browsing (with flash games and video streamings) at gaming (dota 2).. budget around 3k siguro, hindi kasi ako yung bibili. nagpaquote lang sila. video card na kasama ay Nvidia GForce V617 GT610. kahit hindi muna kasali yung ibang hardwares, basta yung cpu muna mauna.


THANKS ULIT!!

Well for me your core i3-4130 is more than enough for that purpose, plus 4GB HyperX from Kingston pa . About sa GT610, I think it can play DOTA 2 though not on high resolution or max settings . Expect to get a 20-30fps with medium settings on 1024x768 resolution.
