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.

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.

gud pm, nasira ung motherboard q na gigabyte a75, wala syang video output at wla beep codes at pinacheck q na then ok naman ung APU A5800, bibili na lng aq bagong MB na asus kc d na aq sure sa gigabyte, sa inspection lng ng pcb makita m na ung defect sa likod ng charge on/off zone ng pcb, ksalan cguro ito ung smartphone ng kapatid q na siomai mainit kc kpg nagcha charge, haha. un ang major suspect q kc un ang huling event na ngcha charge bgo na dead.

Asus A88XM-A (P3450.00) na bilhin q, kung bibili aq ng a68 e maliit lng diff sa a78 pero 500+ diff nito sa a88X,
para sa A10-5800k 3.8-4.2GHz Quad core, bawas na budget q, no DGPU muna

parang may nabasa aq na gnyan problema wlang video output & no beeps d2 at sa tpc, anu kaya update para maicompare,,,,,,
post q picture ng defect sometime,jeje

hhhmm... i think kung di ka pa naman nakakaramdam ng sudden power failure or minsan na ayaw mag-boot ng system mo, hindi mo pa kelangan palitan yang PSU mo. pero kung gusto mo talaga palitan, those I've mentioned have great reviews from the community. pero kung gusto mo lang magdagdag ng fan, hanap ka ng mga ganito:

bibili ako ng fan hub..ubos na 3 pin ko sa motherboard e
occupied yung limang fan slot sa mobo ko hehe

Thanks

- - - Updated - - -

ask ko lang sino familiar sa PWM fans dito?

lima ang slot ng mobo ko for fans
tatlong 4 pins tapos dalawang 3 pins

sa software ng MSI tatlo lang naadjust ko fan speed
so yung 4 pins lang pwede maadjust fan speed?

Thanks sa sasagot

Swak na yan
Gtx 960 gamit ko
600 watts psu ko

Ano po mga next choice dito sa palit 750ti stormyXdual 2gb ddr5 - 5750 na mas mabilis at maganda performance ??

- - - Updated - - -

Aditional noob question,
Why choose true rated/ branded psu compare sa generic psu ?
Never ko pa kasi naexperience gumamit ng branded psu. Ano pagkakaiba nila

Random tip lang sir: Try using speedfan for controlling your case/cpu fans. Kasi ako kahit 3pin or 4pin yung fan ko nakokontrol ko naman using speedfan. Make sure na you'll plug the hub sa port na pwede mo sya macontrol sa motherboard mo.

sagutin ko ung about sa PSU gnito kase yan sir sample may PSU ka na 650watts true rated pag naglagay ka ng mga addditional components sa PSU mo 100% capacity magagamit mo, unlike sa 650watts na generic possible na 70% lang, kaya kung pansin mo minsan hindi nagpo-power on properly ang components mo ng CPU mo or bigla bigla na lang namamatay, dahil un sa PSU.

By a "true Rated" I assume you mean a quality branded power supply with a bronze/silver/gold rating?

Typically a "rated" PSU uses better components and are more reliable.

Generic PSU's often use cheaper components, can be a little less than truthful of about their actually capability (pretend they are more powerful than they really are) and sometimes do not included some safety features like over voltage protection. They also generally lack build quality or Quality assurance.

Higher quality PSU's are generally more accurate about their capabilities (even underrate there capability), include over voltage protection. Over voltage protection is very important in case a PSU blows up. It does not allow excess currents to flow through to damage other components like motherboards, CPUS, GPU'S and Hard drives. With out over voltage protection the excess current runs right through your system.

It all depends on what you plan to use the PC for. If it's for a high load, gaming, overclocking machine etc - generic power supplies can be potentially ruin your entire system. They are a gamble.

If it's just for a low end desktop used for browsing, word processing etc then you can get a way with a generic PSU as long as you go nowhere near it's limits.

Some generic power supplies will "do the job" - others are a time bomb waiting to happen.
