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.

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.

boss perma ano ba maganda Ram Gskill Ripjaws X 8GB na 4gbx2 o Ram Gskill Ripjaws X 8GB na single
may advantages ba si single bukod sa isa lang slot nya?

Single stick advantage: upgradability, cheaper price

Dual stick advantage: dual channel (lamang po sya sa mga synthetic benchmarks), reliability (usable yung isang stick kahit masira yung kapartner)

Single - kung gipit sa budget, dual ram slot lang supported ng mobo, kung may balak ka magdagdag ng stick

Dual - kung may pambili at wala ng balak magdagdag pa ng ram stick. Bale ang selling point nya ay yung pwede mo pa din magamit ang isang stick in case na masira yung isa. About sa dual channel naman, di mo ramdam real world performance difference between single and dual.

EDIT: Exhaust fan pala ung red, btw alin kaya sa dalawa ang pwedeng wala nang fan: ung nasa baba o ung sa side cover ng case?

Based po sa experience ko, panira ng airflow yung side panel fan. Siguro sa case na gamit ko lang. Hehe.. Mas mababa kasi temps ko pag wala yung side fan.
Mas maganda kung itest mo dyan sa case mo kung alin ang mas magandang set up. Gamit ka lang ng hardware temp monitor.

First hand user ako ng vx239h. 10 months na sakin at wala pa naman nagiging problema. Very satisfied ako sa picture quality. Lahat naman ng monitor may kanya kanyang issues at may 3 yrs asus warranty kaya kampante pa rin ako. Haha!

Marami namang alternatives dyan basta check mo online reviews about sa performance at picture quality. Goodluck!

Mga sir tanong lang if which of these two processor is much better, i5 2500k or i5 3470. And also gagana ba ang DDR3 1600 memory sa i5 2500k? nakalagay kasi sa Memory Specifications ng intel for i5 2500k memory type is DDR3 1066/1333 lang. Thanks
