[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.

change your gpu. you could get r7 370 2gb or r9 380 2gb. good enough for 1080p for gta v and codbo3. csgo and dota2 have low requirements. idk how good your psu is so better read some reviews about it. if you arent confident with what you will find out, i recommend seasonic m12ii 620w. you could add an ssd next. you can also add another 8gb ram since your mobo has 4 slots. btw, check your ram bios settings. it may be running on 1333 frequency.

hello, pwede magtanung kung online shop yung magandang bilhan ng mga gaming laptop? nasa saudi kasi ako ngayon eh, salamat

Note: walang monitor and peripherals. Also, kung gaming lang talaga, you can downgrade the cpu to an i5 6600k and save 5k. Tanggalin na lang yung HDD at asa sa SSD for storage. Bawasan RAM to 8gb only pero taasan yung speed. Yung masesave na +9k,pwedeng palitan yung gpu to geforce 980ti

Actually pinili ko talaga yan PSU na yan kasi alam ko na mag upgrade ako.
Tiwala naman ako sa brand ng psu ko. Magandang klase naman ang FSP.

Ok nmn po ang freq. ng ram ko naka set naman sa 1600.

Gtx 750 ti. Ok po ba to medyo mura. gusto ko palitan mobo yung tipong pang 2400 ram tapos backward compatible sa phenom 2.
Mukang sabay ang palit ko ng mobo at procie.

Thanks po

if you want to go green team, you should get 950 instead. if we are to believe whats going around about NVidia gimping their older generations, I wouldn't take the chance. for the ram, if you want it because of the extra 2-3 fps on cpu intensive games, its not worth it. the difference in price of a 2400 from a 1333 isn't worth the extra 2-3 fps for me as your older ram would be useless should you ditch it. plus, 16gb might be more practical if you ask me since you will be adding a dgpu.

heres a video of 8gb vs 16gb ram.

my comments: do you plan to upgrade to a "K" processor in the future? sayang kasi mobo sa cpu mo. kung downgrade to a B150 or H170 chipset, you'll save around 2-4k
sa power supply, heto alternatives: (they are cheaper and offer the same or better quality)
FSP AU-650M Aurum = 4,390
Seasonic G-650 = 4,650
Seasonic X-650 = 5,490

change the RAM to a slower rated and cheaper one kung papalitan mo rin mobo mo.
are you particular sa Nvidia GPU? kung hindi naman, yung sa matitipid mo na parts, you can allocate that to an R9 390x which will perform better especially in upcoming dx12 games.
or kung team green ka talaga, tignan mo kung saan mo pwede stretch budget mo to reach a 980ti

you could disable turbo core in bios. summer is also a factor especially if you have poor air ciculation in your chassis. idk who recommended you those specs but i wouldve gotten a8-7600 instead which is a 65w for php3500. lower tdp almost always is cooler. a8-7670k is php4700. you paid an extra php1200 for a boost of 500mhz. the igp is the same. you couldve instead invested that on a dual 2133 channel which will greatly improve the performance. i suspect that you might also be running in single channel. or you couldve instead gotten a better psu like vs450 for php1650.

that's sad to know paano po malalaman kung single channel to? and may factor po ba yung psu? thanks po let.

PS: ano po marerecommend niyo para maging mas ok tong build ko? thanks po.
