[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.

Ano po ang magandang casing sa mATX na budget friendly? Naka tecware raiden ako ngayon parang na sstress ang mga wires at cables niya. Minsan kailangan ko pang alisin yung side panels para ma i ON ko lang siya. Pag nakatakip biglang ON saglit sabay OFF. PSU ko ay Seasonic S12II 520W 80PLUS Bronze. Wala pang 1 week ang rig ko.

wag ka na mag-"K" (unlocked) cpu kung hindi mo rin kaya mag-Z97 mobo. sayang overclocking capability ng CPU mo kung di naman magagamit ng mobo mo. makakatipid ka pa ng around 1-2k sa price ng CPU. I'd recommend the H97 chipset kasi almost same lang sila ng features ng Z97 except sa overclocking features.
i7 = 4790
i5 = 4690
about sa seasonic, yes, it is capable enough. gamit ko yung modular version (Seasonic MII 520) and I have an SSD, 2HDD and running a R9 290. though 90% ata power usage ko during load if you want to be sure, get the the 620w version. kahit R9 390 kaya na yun.



average lang yung response time pag FPS ang laro mo. kung competitive FPS games, dapat 2ms or less reponse time. pero you can't be too picky if you are on a budget

yes, the PSU is "good enough"... pero i would rather recommend yung Seasonic SII 520. mas reliable in the long run.

boss salamat talaga buti nalang nag tanong ako sayo,, bago ako bumili ng mobo ,,,i5 4690 lang pala yon,, pinuntahan ko shop nila kanina at nag tanong at nag inquire ... wew sorry boss na miss inform kita same ang sinabi mo ngayon boss sa sinabi nila sa akin kanina..nasabi din nila sakin yang H97 na mobo kung hindi daw ako mag overclock bagay din daw sa mga walang K... dalawa na ang mapag pipilian ko na mobo yang h97 at b85 or kasi pasok sa budget ko or maybe yang z97 ... ah cge 620w nalang cguro na seasonic... CPU MOBO AND PSU ang uunahin ko sana gabayan mo ako hangang ma build ko sa DFE ako bumili davao future bright enterprise

Sir themonyo, saan makakabili ng "Seasonic SII 520"? Wala kasi sa Dynaquest eh.
Another option po kung saan makakabili?

Well since medyo tight budget pa nga, stick muna ako sa monitor ko. Then i will upgrade soon into 1080p display.

 

[vincent47me]

pahirapan tlga mag hanap seasonic, try nyo FSP na PSU mura at reliable din sya..
fsp raider ok din un

Pa-advice naman mga sir sa build ko.

budget: 15k to 20k
usage: Mild Gaming and autocad



Processor: intel g4400 skylake. (balak ko i-overclock) = 2.7k

Motherboard: gigabyte z170x gaming 3/asrock fatal1ty k4 = 9.2k pag maluwag pa sa budget / 7.9k pag gipit na. (reliable naman po ba ang asrock?)

RAM: any ddr4 2600mhz or higher. 2x4gb = 2.6k

Cooling: Cooler Master hyper 212 evo = may nakita ako around 1.5k lang. pag wala na, mapilitan ako sa 1.9k na hyper 212x

Video Card: (undecided pa) either r9 270x or gt 750ti or r7 260x = 5.5k/ 5.0k / 4.0k (ano po ba pinaka sulit dito mga sir?)

Hard Drive: meron na ko nito 1tb

Power Supply: (generic lang mga sir) 500w kasama sa casing. pero nakalagay sa sticker for gaming. pero syempre di ako maniniwala. haha

Need ko pa po ba bumili? or okay na?

Casing: across satinfa

salamat po sa tutulong

wow
mag high end na mobo ka tapos dual core Pentium lang cpu mo at iooverclock mo pa
heto comments ko:
CPU is good enough for autocad since it barely benefits from multi-core/cpu processing pero not viable in the long run for gaming. maybe by next year, up to quad cores na ang requirements ng mga games as most of the industry's analysts predict. advice: get at least an i3... pero kung temporary CPU lang to at balak mo pa mag-upgrade pwede na yan
mobo is great. asrock's fatal1ty line has great reviews online. if you'll really stick with your choice of CPU, this mobo will be a great backbone for future upgrades even for unlocked i7 CPU's. will still be capable in 5 years.
CPU fan has good recommendations from fellow forums members here
GPU kung makakahanap ka ng R7 370 sa price range mo mas panalo yun pero best bet mo sa 3 yung 750Ti
PSU get a true rated PSU kasi may balak ka mag-OC. 500w 80% bronze should be the minimum. pag basura ang PSU mo, may tendency pa itong mandamay ibang PC parts pag nasira ito

Yung 15k mo ba dun lang sa mga naka question mark? Sobra2 yan.

Anyways eto.

Board: Asus B85M-G = 3.5k or B85M-Gamer =3.9k
PSU: Seasonic s12ii 520w = 2.6k
Case: Tecware Infinity 1.2k or if you want smaller Raiden = 1.4k or bigger Alpha = 2.2k

Total: Ranges around 7.3k - 8.7k

Between 960 and 380, 380 performs better in most cases. Both of them are compatible so you should be fine with either.

change your psu first. i wouldnt go lower than 750ti 2gb nor higher than 380 4gb. you dont have to change your ram unless youre experiencing some problems with it.
