[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.

Sa GeForce Games and Apps ako tumitingin nang System Requirements nang games hehe.

Kung tamang gaming lang 1GB DDR5 okay na siguro yun.
Yun lang din ang build ko eh kasi budget gaming rig lang yung binuild ko.

Asus GTX 750 1GB DDR5
2x Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB DDR3-1866 (so bale 8GB)
Intel Core I7-3370 Socket 1155 3.4ghz 8m

Tapos nung naginstall ako nang Skyrim: Elder Scrolls V at nung dinetect yung optimal na settings na kaya nang rig ko kaya naman na Ultra High.

Ayun sana nakatulong. Based on experience ito hehe.

GTX 660 = R7 265 > GTX 750 Ti = GTX 650 Ti Boost > GTX 650 Ti = GTX 750

Afaik, nvidia game title ang witcher 3. Asahan mo na di sya well optimized sa amd cards. So better pick nvidia cards dahil may exclusive graphical features.

At may promo din ang nvidia kung bibili ka ng GTX 900 series card

as far as i know sir 2133mhz will work sa board mo but it will go down to 1600mhz as it is the board limits based sa specs, no harm in using 2133mhz or higher in case mag.upgrade ka ng mobo in the near future...as for the xmp po sir, it only works for intel processors which are unlocked.

edit:
i just rechecked your board specs and found this
DDR3 Memory DDR3 1066/1333/1600* (*DDR3-1600 MHz is only supported with Intel® Ivy Bridge processors)
(edited*)

ah ok sir thanks.. tama nga down to 1600 lang dahil yung lang supported

mga sir tanong ko lang worth it po ba bumili ngaun ng gt 740? para sa i3 4160 ko? for gaming na mga latest games

 

[sh00t3r]

mga sir tanong ko lang worth it po ba bumili ngaun ng gt 740? para sa i3 4160 ko? for gaming na mga latest games

depende po yan sa mga latest games na nilalaro mo sir
to minimize spending sir in future upgrades, i would suggest to go for better graphics card even if core i3 4160 yung processor mo (it still can handle good games)
coz if time comes wherein a game you really like is heavy on processor, ram and graphics card...then all you have to do is change processor and add/change ram
but all really depends on budget

 

[vheryoness]

mga sir tanong ko lang worth it po ba bumili ngaun ng gt 740? para sa i3 4160 ko? for gaming na mga latest games

hanap ka na lang ng mga 2nd hand na ddr5 1gb/2gb 128bit sir madami sa teepeesee
2k-3k meron ka ng hd7750, hd7770, gtx650(non-ti)

pero kung may budget ka talaga todo mo na yan hehe, madami namang 2nd hand item na prestine condition pa din at complete pa with warranty -30% to -50% sa original price sa mall na brandnew

 

[daikixD]

gusto ko na kasi makabili ng gpu 3k na pera ko ngaun. gtx 750ti ba talaga ang maganda na gpu ngaun.

magkano po ba budget mo sir? and para saan yung system? gaming (type of games)? photo editing? etc...
or you want a good gaming system wherein someday palitan mo nalang yung videocard mo to upgrade it

10k or less lng po. For mobo ram budget + kung kaya pa 1tb or ssd.

Dota po laro. tpos video editing like vegas and premiere tnx

bottleneck happens when you run an application or game wherein hindi ka satisfied sa results...maganda yung gtx 970 na card...so if you run something na cpu intensive game or application then bottleneck yung cpu mo...so it all depends sa applications or games mo...if you plan on upgrading someday...go intel or amd fx route.
no problem if bibilhin mo yung gtx 970 for your current processor/specs
ok din yung psu mo since may dalawang 6pin pcie connectors which gtx 970 needs

thanks sa payo sir, balak ko din mag upgrade ng procie. Fo the mean time, uunahin ko muna ung GPU[un kase pinakamahal na pwesa]. Balak ko laruin ung upcoming game na Batman Arkham knight. Kaya din ba kaya ng aking current PSU itong 970?..
