[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.

I don't think its worth it. your ram is also ddr2 which could be a cause of bottleneck should you upgrade a cpu and gpu. you can however salvage your hdd and case. if your psu is corsair vs650 and still in good condition, you can probably salvage that too. I suggest you earn at least 15k to 20k for mobo, cpu, ram and gpu.

Sir I Plan to keep my graphics card.. i-SLI setup ko sana gusto ko itry hehe worth it kaya yun? gusto ko sana sir isalvage din graphics card ko, matulungan nyo po ba ako sa build? budget~15k

option 2.. system around my graphics card baka mas makakatipid hehe thanks sirs more power

 

[ExiaCross]

sir pa help naman, sana pwede d2 magtanong about sa laptop

budget: 30k

9800 GT on SLI? meron ako nyan (single card) dati. sira na ata
coming from a multi-GPU setup, I don't recommend doing it if there is a single card with a much better performance from your current one.
You'll only get approx 10-30% performance increase against 2x the power consumption (also 2x the price) not to mention yung power requirement din for your PSU. there's also the case of multi-GPU scaling... which means some bugs might even arise from you having multi-GPU's... also, keep in mind na pag nag-SLI/Xfire ka, the VRAM won't be doubled (e.g. 2x 1GB) data processing will be distributed and spread to both cards kaya bottle neck pa rin yung limited VRAM ng 9800
bili ka na lang ng bago. at least Geforce 750Ti which is a very capable GPU.


on to the competition
available na para sa team RED ang bagong Radeon driver for download. just finished downloading and will be installing.. brb

Kaya na ba mga sir ng setup na to ang witcher 3? 15.5 inch lng monitor ko. Tska palitan ko sana un
g psu ng corsair 450w wala ba magiging problema? Salamat po

 

[cyen]

Salamat sa paenlight sir. Hmm. Pede nyo ba ako rekomendahan ng build ng mobo+ram+cpu? Budget 8-10k.. Salammat po in davance!

ou naman sir kayang kaya, napatakbo ko nga witcher sa old rig ko na hd7750 + i3-3210 eh, 20 to 30fps on mid settings @720p monitor

Salamat sir bibili na ko ngaun my stock sana sa pchub

 

[Meiki07]

sobra sobra na yang psu mo sir kahit ito na lang Seasonic P-760 Platinum 760W - 7720php
gawin mo na din Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0-4.20GHz Skylake processor mo para wala ka ng hahabulin pa
kahit yung gpu mo sir sisiw 2k16 at witcher 3 dyan, check mo sa youtube yung game play ng gtx 970

Nagkamali nga ako sa PSU. Malakas na kasi yun una ko nalagay na PSU tapos tinaasan ko pa.

Bali papalitan ko na lang po ng i7-6700K un processor ko okay na siya? Gusto ko ipa-overclock ito eh hindi ko lang alam kung nag-OC ang mga nag-assemble ng piyesa sa either PC Express or EasyPC.

Yung GPU okay pa naman ako, compatible ba un GTX980 SLI sakali kapag nag-upgrade ako in the future?

Thank you!

kung talagang yan plan mo sir mag sli ng 980 ti mag 1000w+ psu ka na para safe talaga
madali lang mag oc ng skylake madami ng guide sa net ngayon, at feature na kasi talaga ngayon sa mga board ang OC, di tulad dati na manual talaga, sa msi meron ng mga profile na pipiliin ka lang para maset yung oc build na gusto mo, try mo din paoc sa shop na pagbibilhan mo kung pwede

 

[nubbest]

your gtx980ti sli will underperform come pascal cards. according to NVidia marketing its 10x better than titan x. id rather sell that and buy a pascal when it arrives.

Salamat sa paenlight sir. Hmm. Pede nyo ba ako rekomendahan ng build ng mobo+ram+cpu? Budget 8-10k.. Salammat po in davance!

Processor: Intel Core i3-4170 3.70GHz (Dual Core) Haswell Refresh Processor ₱5,290
OR
Intel Pentium G3258 3.20GHz (Dual Core) Anniversary Edition ₱3,140

MOBO: MSI H81M-P33 ₱2,350
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Single 1600 CL9 ₱2,300

Since expensive pa un 980 SLI (Almost 30K above) pa, baka hindi ko muna bilhin yun. Kung kaya naman ng 970 un Witcher 3 at NBA 2k16 kahit ultra okay na ako doon. Saka ko na lang siya i-upgrade kung sakali may bagong VC na lumabas.

Pero kailangan ko po ba talaga mag upgrade ng PSU to 1000W kapag high end GPU na binili ko?

single card or single gpu, no. dual gpu like powercolor devil 13 r9 295x2 then yes. that volcano eats 675w alone. overall system will probably yield 850w.

 

[zephyrxk]

Hi im looking for a compatible video card for my amd kaveri to crossfire what brand of radeion would be best to couple it with and how much would it cost me i have

amd a8 kaveri
8gb ram 2x 4 hyperfury ddr3
asrock fm2 mortherboard

thanks

290x cguro, haha
madali na daw ang on&off ng xfire sa radeon crimson

theres so many a8 models. if you have a8-7600, the common gpu to crossfire it with is r7 240. you can also dual it with r7 250 with frame pacing which the newer catalyst/crimson already has. heres the link for the article click here

unless youre budget restraint, you should just get a better card like gtx750ti.
