[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.

hindi po lahat. inoorder pa kc nila yung mga items sa supplier. minsan wala din stock sa supplier. kaya mas mabuti kung mag iinquire ka thru landline nila. ang ginawa ko kc every 3 days ako tumatawag, chcheck ko kung may stock na. natry ko din mag inquire thru chat nila sa yahoo messenger. sumasagot naman sila. ayun, hanggang sa dumating yung time na available lahat ng items na gusto ko. kaya inorder ko na agad. okay nman yung mga items. in very good condition nman nung pinadeliver ko. 150 petot yung delivery fee.

 

[ForrestHump69]

mga sir ask ko lang..hehe..
pwede ko ba lagyan ng 8gb 12800 na frequency ang laptop ko?
2gb 10600 kasi original na laman nito..tatanggalin ko naman yung 2gb para ndi magmismatch sa freq.
pwede kaya yun?
64bit nga pala procie at OS ko..

up lang..hehe

Re: First time building a Mid-gaming PC.

Hi
Ask ko lng kung ok na tong build ko. For gaming ko po sya gagamitin mostly 1080p and 60 fps gusto ko. First build ko po ito.

CPU Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core
Motherboard MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150
Memory Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866

Video Card Zotac GeForce GTX 970 4GB
Case NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply Corsair 500W ATX12V

Tanong ko na din kung mas ok bang antayin ko lumabas yung gtx 960 para mas makatipid ako kung sakali.

para sa akin eh parang bitin maxado ang 500w psu mo. tapos sa ram namn eh dagdagan mo pa since mostly sa mga games ngaun eh resources hungry

Wag mo ng hintayin lumabas yun. Mas okay yang gtx 970. Kung gusto mo magtipid, palitan mo yung processor ng core i5 4590 then sa mobo h87/h97 chipset ipalit mo tas need mo din palitan yang psu dapat atleast 550w minimum recquired nyan. Tas memory, okay na yang 8gb bastat dual stick sya (4gbx2). Wala pa akong nalalarong pc games na kumakain higit sa 8gb ram. Kung may extra ka, bili ka na din ng samsung ssd kahit 120gb lang. Gudluck!

Hi po boss perma,

Ano po ba mas-advisable na gmiting CPU cooler, Air or Liquid Cooling system? Mejo risky ata po kasi yun Liquid Cooler pero masmalinis tingnan compare sa napakalaking Air CPU cooler. Thanks in advance for the answer.
