[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.

Patulong po mga kasymb. Suggest naman po kayo nang mga specs with price para sa pinapangarap kong Gaming Rig.

budget: 20-35k
usage: Gaming, Programming.
* Games wished to play are the latest games and upcoming games of 2015. Hindi ko naman gusto na malaro sila sa maximun settings. Ok na ako sa medyo low settings. Medium settings - better.

other miscellaneous requirements: 3.0 USB. Sana po hindi maingay yung PC. Magandang UPS or AVR.

Processor: Can you suggest an I5 3rd Gen Processor? Maganda and mura daw po kasi ito sabi nung friend ko. Also, di ko naman siguro need nang i7 dahil hindi naman ako maghahardcore photoshop, sound and video editing. Also, suggest din po kayo nang AMD counterpart para may choice po ako. Ok naman daw po yung AMD mas mura kaso mabilis daw po kasi uminit kaya medyo alangan ako.

Motherboard: Motherboard na pupwede padin kapag gusto ko magupgrade nang parts. Hindi po ako masyado maalam sa motherboard eh ang alam ko lang dapat yung kukunin kong motherboard eh kasya yung mga piyesa. Kung pwede at swak sa budget ko Gaming Motherboard po sana.

RAM: 2X 4GB or 2X 8GB RAM Kingston.

Video Card: 1X 1 or 1X 2GB na Video Card. Wala pa akong plano mag multiple screens. Suggest po kayo nang Nvidia or AMD para may choice din ako dito. Tahimik daw kasi yung Nvidia pero pang gaming talaga yung AMD.

Hard Drive: 500GB or more. Depends on the budget. Yung mga media files naman kasi like Songs, Pictures, Movies and Documents nilalagay ko sa External Hard Drive.

Optical Drive: Any basta decent.

Power Supply: Power Supply na hindi niya matutusta yung mga piyesa. Nabasa ko kasi na kapag cheap yung power supply matutusta niya yung mga piyesa nung PC kaya kahit siguro medyo mahal to basta okay sa PC. No idea din po talaga ako dito. Di ko alam paano sukatin yung mga Watts and Volts eh.

Casing: Casing na makakatulong magpalamig nang PC tsaka sana di po maingay and if possible Astig din po yung itsura.

monitor: Monitor na mamamaximize yung resolution na kaya nung Video Card.

Accessories: Magandang webcam para kapag tatawag sina Mama at Papa.

Other Items:
*Ako po ay nagtratrabaho kaya baka minsan ko lang din po ito magamit.
* Sana po makapagbigay kayo nang Specs na Budget Friendly.

Thank You!

Halos parehas lang po power consumption ng gtx 650 at 750 ti. Kaya yes. Kaya ng psu mo sir. Kung gusto mo makasiguro, tignan mo specification ng psu. Dapat meron syang atleast 22A sa +12v rails nya.

thank you very much sir..

Check mo yung connection sa motherboard mo and front panel audio. Usually, the connection is on the lower left part of your mobo. Double check if it is connected properly.
