[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 think parehas lang sila, but aftersales service might be better sa Sapphire, not sure though. Pero both cards use the same chipset e, I advise kuha ka na lang ng mas mura, although superior talaga ang cooling ng MSI at may backplate and AMD cards nila (Medyo bias ako sa MSI, dragons e hehe) kung may budget ka go, temps lang halos lamang mo jan at noise. Performance wise same lang yan unless mag OC ka, which lalabas ang lamang ng MSI kasi sa temp headroom.

n200. Check mo rin cases ng Tecware baka magustuhan mo.

- - - Updated - - -



Sana hindi. Wag po. Seriously magiging impact ng sales nila yan, kasi halos lahat ng enthusiasts na bibili e hindi parin mapapakinabangan yan unless it's a new build. Saka... basta sana wag. HAHAHA

- - - Updated - - -



Yep. Armor x2 gpu's are black and white. wala nga lang backplate. It's subjective, pero I prefer those who have ones. Pwede naman ipa-customize kung may additional budget pa.

thank you sir sa info. I'll stick with MSI na lang po

nasa user din kasi kung gusto nya ng pormahan yung PC nya
yung iba may mga theme pa at RGB LED (NZXT Hue)


in other stuff:
tested ko na pwedeng hot swap mga SATA HDD parang USB lang
of course yung boot drive hindi

tama ka sir, minsan na nga lang ako magbuild pc, so pagagandahin ko na din itsura

nice.. good na yan
medyo mahal nga yung H170 gaming m3, pwede ka na makabili ng z board nyan tulad ng sinabi ni sir themonyo, yung pc mate pinakamura atang z board now
pwede mo drop yung hyper 21x cpu cooler kung di ka mag oc, may kasama naman intel stock cpu cooler yang 6500
tapos yung sobra sa budget mo pang ssd mo na

- - - Updated - - -



haha, medyo mahal nga, pero kung lalampasan nito performance ng skylake ayos to
potek dinagdagan pa nila laban nila hehe, amd vs intel + nvidia + coolers na haha

yes sir, mag Z board na lang ako, ung PC mate. pwede din kasi ata i OC ung skylake kahit walang 'k' kung drop ko ung cooler, baka i lagay ko na lang muna sa PSU, sabi kasi erpat ko ang baba daw PSU ko aside sa seasonic, ano po ba ibang ok na brand ng PSU na medyo mura din

I assume yung lumang monitor mo VGA port lang meron

at ang R9 380 ay may 2 DVI port 1 HDMI at 1 display port
kelangan mo ng DVI-VGA adapter or HDMI-VGA adapter

may nakita ako sa Lazada around 400-550 lang

 

[neil115]

Yes ganyan nga sir... vga port lng meron ung luma qng monitor at saka ung bago q.. ung vcard q may ksma na dvi to vga adapter... kso isa lng... d q n masaksak ung isa q pang monitor wla nmn kase hdmi ung benq gw2255

Anu yung nakita m s lazada n pde gmitin? Ung hdmi to vga adapter b?

Mga master,

Hingi lang ako ng advise/opinion s upgrade path/plan ko. Bale ito current setup ko:<br>

Cpu: i5 3470
Mobo: asus p8z77 v-le plus
Ram: 2x8Gb Kingston HyperX DDR3
Gpu: zotac gtx 970 amp! Omega
Ssd: samsung 850evo 250Gb
SHDD: seagate hybrid 1Tb
HDDB WD Blue 500Gb
Display: BenQ XL2411Z 1080p 144Hz

Parang hindi kasi namamaximize ung 144hz refresh rate kaya trip ko magupgrade ng GPU. Kaso napapagiwanan n cpu ko at mukang bottleneck na s gpu...nasa Php 30k budget. So hindi pwede pagsabayin upgrade ng cpu at gpu.

1st option: (cpu upgrade)
Cpu: i7 6700k skylake.... PHP16, 850
Mobo: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro... PHP9, 450
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb (2x8Gb, 2400MHz)...PHP4,650<br>

Dynaquest price. Total Php30,950.<br>
Pro: latest cpu, can be oc well so tatagal ng several years. <br>
Con: hindi noticeable ung improvement sa gaming dahil same gpu prin (gtx 970)<br>
<br>
2nd option: Gpu upgrade. <br>
Either Gigabyte GTX 980 TI extreme gaming, or Zotac GTX 980 TI Amp! Omega ang pinagpipilian ko... Php 31k-34k<br>
<br>
Pro: ramdam agad performance increase and mejo overkill s 1080p so atleast maabot 120-144fps s latest games. <br>
<br>
Con: maiiwan cpu, and possible bottleneck ung gpu s cpu. May palabas n bagong architecture ang nvidia (pascal) so very possible na me marelease na mas malakas n gpu s 980 ti at the same price... O kya bumaba price ng 980 ti pagrelease nung bagong series ng gpu<br>
<br>
<br>
Ano sa opinion nyo mga master?

 

[PyroJack]

Ok pa naman GPU mo..
Dun ka na lang sa CPU upgrade... may increase din yun sa fps..
Pero if ako tatanungin mo i5 6500(non k) bibilhin ko... pwede mo pa din naman ma overclock yan...
Para may ipon ka pambili ng POLARIS or PASCAL

 

[nubbest]

inggit ako. 30k pang upgrade lang. buong pc ko na yung 30k, may pang jollibee pa.

 

[-x-i-i-i-]

Pa tulong nmn s issue q ty po

According to manufacturer's link e merong DVI port yung GW2255. Ayaw mo ba gamitin? DVI cable sa BenQ tapos DVI-VGA adapter sa AOC.

Else pwede ka gumamit ng VGA splitter, meron ata sa CDR-king.

Hindi talaga noticeable ang improvements idol. Sayang budget dahil good pa naman ang specs mo, suggest ko na lang get a bnew/used 3570k para kung kulangin ka, you can OC. Hindi magandang sumabay sa hype ng newest gen dahil may ilalabas rin namang bago ang Intel bago matapos ang taon. Di mo rin pala nabanggit PSU mo saka cooler. GTX 970 is already king for 1080p, and it's definitely overkill for a 980ti. If you can't wait for new gen cards, then aim for 980ti, but get a 1440p monitor too. Mabilis ang bentahan sa tpc ng GTX 970, and Zotac has a good reputation dito sa PH. Plus there's a good market for used 144Hz monitors.

Bottleneck is a subjective term, depending on games. i5 is still an i5, and my friends are still using i5-2500k's and don't feel bottlenecks, whether the game is cpu or gpu intensive. DDR4 doesn't show any real edge over DDR3 (for gaming at least), they have higher speeds but lower latencies, just overclock since you have a z77 mobo.

My two cents.

Cpu cooler: deepcool s40 maxx
Psu: thermaltake 630w

Yeah, mukang s ngaun mas optimal nga procie lng iupgrade s 3550k or 3770k tapos sabayan ng AIO liquid cooler pra ma oc ng maayos. Pwede narin siguro magpalit ng psu... Para me headroom s OC

Thanks idol

Yes po, basta seasonic brand isa po yan sa mga pinaka matibay na manufacturer ng power supply. You can also check THIS review para sa exact unit na balak mong bilhin.

No problem. Basta 240mm ang rad, kasi mas okay ang aircooler kesa sa 120mm AIO.

Pero yun lang kasya sa case ko kaya 120mm din kukunin ko XD. Sayang lang at di ko na ma-offer yung Tundra TD02 ko kasi may bibili na sa Sunday.

normal lng yan, since vga/dvi slot nmn ang palilitawin mo sa butas which is a little bit lower on your pcie slot.
