[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.

pwede ba iupgrade ang videocard ng laptop?

 

[walanjoe]

mga sir, pag ang pics po ba na view mo sa net matagal luminaw, need ng magandang video cards o graphics cards?
onbaord lang po kasi graphic card ko,

pero no buff naman sa youtube at pag nagpa-play ung bunso ko ng Y8, sa loading sya natatagalan o naiinip sa kakaantay, video cards po ba talaga yun?

 

[biscuitz]

pwede ba iupgrade ang videocard ng laptop?

depende sa laptop.
may mga laptop na wala dedicated gpu. mostly mga mainstream laptop. option mo ay to use external GPU.
meron din na naka embed na sa board ng laptop ung gpu. usually mga entry level gaming laptop. option mo ay to use external GPU. Click sample.
meron din na may separate gpu module. Like alienware and clevo laptops. Click sample
at meron din detachable talaga. like lenovo ultrabay. Click sample

Sa speed ng internet yan.

[TUTORIAL] DIY eGPU - Attach a DESKTOP GPU to your Laptop!

iimport mo pa yung add-on card, then bili ka lang ng kahit anong desktop class GPU na pasok sa budget mo

 

[Nosaj30]

motherboard drivers mo ba na-install mo na? parang palpak din ata installation mo ng windows

pacheck ako ng bios mo sir, screenshot mo yung part na sa igpu apu, may mali ata sa settings

mga boss, hindi ko aure kung os problem eh, hindi ko pa n try mag switch sa gpu-z.
hindi po ako makakuha ng screenshot sa bios d ko lam san mhahanap, pero may key dun para sa screenshot at tsaka cp lng gmit ko now.
pero eto ung full details ng peripherals sa bios.

gFX settings nandun po ung video slot, may choices na IGD VIDEO, NB PCIE SLOT AT PCI SLOT. sa baba nun ay INTIGRATED VIDEO/grpahics nka set as auto lng. auto=1gb. may choice din na auto disable at force,kpag force ung pinili mo sa option may lumalabas na UmA frame buffer size dun na pde mag set ng other values ng pde iset/ipakaen na memory sa chipset.

boss vher ung sinasabi mo po bang part na igpu apu un na po b un? wla n po kasi akong makitang ibang tab dun na may kinalaman sa gpu/apu/on board video card settings.

boss monyo ung os na gamit ko kanto kanto lng, actually wla p kasing nakakabit na internet dun sa unit kaya hindi ako mkpag update ng windows kahit mga recommendeds lng. windows 7 64bit x86 po gamit ko. yan un alam kong info about os ko.

mga sirs hindi ko lng maasure tlga bakit error ung cpu-z ko, ang tnda ko ung error niya is 577 something ung code/number.

ung about sa motherboard po pla, nka express install po siya and ung bios date po niya is latest dated 04/09/15(gigabyte f2a68hm-s1 rev 1.1)

- - - Updated - - -

there are different tabs for cpu, memory and gpu. baka cpu lang yung nabuksan mo. theres a switchable tab on top of the window that you can click.

sa cpu-z po ba? ung tab section po ng memory ung size lng po ng ram ang kita not the full details, like speed, brand etc. sa gpu po walang indicated yan po ung result ng cpu-z ko, i remember dati ginamit ko sa laptop un kita ung lajat ng details about memory and gpu kahit nka on board lng ung gpu. i wonder why gnun po ung result ng cpu-z na nainstall ko ngaum sa desktop.
may error na lumalabas bago bmukas ung cpu-z.

Boss eto ung errors ko sa CPU-Z ,

tried GPU-Z pero GPU lng pla ung dinidisplay nun. gusto ko sana makita ung buong detailed info ng ram ko, if i remember correctly dinidisplay nun ung brand ng memory, speed etc etc.

TIA

can you try to manually set your ram settings in bios? the timings, frequency and voltage should be on the module. you can also check the website of your ram. just make sure you find the correct model.

yes i do can, technically yes i am sure what model of my memory is, just wondering kung bakit hindi siya displayed sa CPU-Z. but i think i got my problem solved just saw a thread about the latest CPU-Z got some random errors, will try the first to the last version hopefully ma read niya na.

btw sir i just want to make sure what figure/s really matter, on the adapter details? ung nsa advance option ng screen resolution or display section ng dxdiag. what are the differences between them specifically ung dedicated graphics memory stated in adapter and approx. total memory in dxdiag. dun talga ako confused.

sir thanks sa patience mo ah. cheers.

sir eto napansin ko about sa approx. memory sa dxdiag. ung graphics section sa CPU-Z is nka depend sa dxdiag ibig sabihin po ba nun is dun ako mag dedepends kung ilan ung memory ng on board ko? kasi more memory ng onboard mas better for gaming?

 

[nubbest]

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose a Computer

based dun sa pinost mo na pictures, mukhang mas tama yung sa adapter. as you've mentioned, you shared 1gb. maximize mo na to 2gb total 8gb naman ram mo. reinstall mo kaya dx mo. update mo na rin windows, lalo na yung mga compatibility issues updates.

 

[biscuitz]

ask ko lang po.. ok na po ba to sa price nya na 8k?
