[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.

intel is better. if you want an amd, fx8320e is the better choice. cheaper and better power efficiency against fx8350.

thanks sa feedback sir kaya ko napili fx8350 kasi 4.0 ghz na siya without overclocking, regardless sa power consumption at price ano pa advantage nito sa i5? gaming and multi tasking i.e. multiple client sa ragnarok or other games.. waiting sa ibang pang feedback ng mga masters dito

virtualization. I think its the one thing the fx8 shines against intel. not really that far though but you can raise the same argument in gaming against i5s.

another possible reason to choose fx8320e over fx8350 is your gpu. if you will buy something like gtx 970 / r9 380, the fx8320e is enough to feed it at stock speed. it can turbo up to 4ghz if needed.

it looks like you have budget. intel i7 is best if you have money to burn. in the end, if youre happier with amd then you should go with it. im an amd user myself. I know intel is better but im with the red team.

wala kong budget para sa i7, and nabasa ko sa reviews na i7 is best for graphic designing/video editing.. gaming rig lang naman need ko, almost same lang kasi price ng i5 and fx 8350 and gusto ko malaman bakit mas maganda si intel na 4 cores vs amd with 8 cores.. amd user here pero old model meron din ako intel pero jurassic model

yung Asus, Netbook lang yan kaya iwasan mo na siguro. maliit screen though lamang sa RAM. yung 2 Lenovo almost identical lang. baka nga pareho lang yan, binobola ka lang ng Win10 eh libre upgrade naman yun kung naka-win7 or 8 ka. :noidea:

nid ko po advice ninyo kung okay n po b ung build ko at san po b maganda bumili.

either palitan mo CPU mo ng 4790 lang or palitan mo board mo ng Z97. save around 2k sa cpu or spend an extra on mobo.
also, palitan mo yung PSU ng either Seasonic, Corsair or FSP
finally, if you are gonna take the 4790k and Z97 combo, allocate ka rin ng budget for the CPU fan. you'lll gonna want to overclock that CPU :hyper:

nga pala... wala kang GPU... sa ganyang build, recommended ko (from cheapest): geforce 950, 960, R9-380, Geforce 970, R9-390, and anything higher than R9-390 :hyper:
