[ADVISE] Help in Assembling/Building/Choosing/Upgrading Your Computer

OhNow3P · Aug 23, 2008

Hi guys,

I started this thread to help everyone wanting a new computer. All you need to do is post the following:

Code:

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.

budget: 20,000 and an extra 5,000 for the Mouse, Keyboard and Headphones

usage:
I'm mainly going to use it for gaming.
The games I would play would mostly be the mainstream ones like LoL, D.O.T.A. and Crossfire however I was also planning on playing steam games such as Arma 3, L4D(2), Rust and Gmod.
In addition I would also be using the PC for Photoshop CS6, Adobe After Effects CS6 and Blender

I'm quite new to this so I'm not really sure if my budget is enough. :pray:

I'm only a highschool student so my money is pretty limited...

In any case, thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Thanks! Really appreciate it. :salute:

I should be able to get those parts by next week.

By the way, In the case that I do find an AMD Athlon X4 860K do you think I should prioratize it over the Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz LGA1150? Disregarding the price of either CPUs.

It is really hard to tell which one of the two is the Best. Or should I say, the "better" one. All I can say is "Follow your heart" :giggle:

Oh, by the way, stick with those MEMORY I recommended. Some are cheaper, yes! around ₱ 150.00 - ₱ 200.00 but investing ALIEN COLOR would make your RIG look Fugly. Change WD Blue if you want. Change BitFenix Comrade if you want. The only reason I picked that Chassis is because I like SILENT-Type Case. Notice: ₱ 1,930.00? If you negotiate wisely, the actual Cold Cash Prize is
₱ 1,930.00 (According to BitFenix Philippines Promo up until now) but in the Brochure(DynaQuestPC / PCHub Price List), they added ₱ 300.00+ and whatsoever the reason, I don't know why.

Ignore my Headset, Keyboard & Mouse recommendation. They are just dummy Peripherals (coversely, I'm a Logitech Peripheral(s) Fanatic) :giggle:

Red Team Here :lol:

(if you know what I mean...) :naughty:

10k budget? High settings? Try mo sir console instead of pc. Graphics card alone would cost you more than half of your budget, dagdag mo pa processor+motherboard combo :work:

Xbox 360/One or PS3 or PS4 ay matatawag na console or to be specific, video game consoles.

Like chromatic20 said, Consoles are electronic device that connects to a television set on which computer games and DVDs can be played. Napapamahal sa "bala". :rock:

if high setting para sa mga games ngayon, kulang yan ts, kasi you need atleast +5k budget for entry level na Graphic Card for tweak medium setting.
and +3k or +5k(i3) for 2cores CPU, You need another budget for RAM, Storage Drives, Motherboards, case. so atleast 20k pataas.

you can try APU setting. A6 6400K 3.9-4.1Ghz = 2,590 ; Asrock FM2A58M-VG3+ = 1,895 ; G.Skill Aegis red 4gb ddr3 1600 = 1,450 ; Seagate 500gb = 2,060 ; total = 7,995 well, it could play dota2 on high settings

price from PCHub

emmanCUPAL · Jun 14, 2015

Hi gusto ko po kasi bumili ng laptop para magamit ko po sa autocad. ano po maisa suggest nyo processor intel or amd? At pahingi na din po ng advice kung ano po ang magandang specs sa laptop pra makatulong sa pagbili ko.

Note: wag naman po masyado high end na specs basta magamit ko lang po sa autocad ko and yun lang nman po ang purpose ko kung bakit ako bibili ng laptop.

PS: pupunta po ako sa gilmore dun ko po balak bumili baka may maisuggest na din po kayong store na medyo mura although mag cacanvass pa lang ako.

Salamat mga master. :salute:
