[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.

Eto for 35k build mga idol? wala ako balak mag OC. kung pipilitin ko pde ko i30k kaso mag ddr3 ako?
ano po marerecommend nyo for CPU cooler? Salamat mga 1-3k budget po.

cpu lga1151: Intel Core i5 6600 3.3-3.9 ghz 4-core = PHP 10400.00
gpu: Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ OC 4gb = 11710.00
casing: Thermaltake Versa H15 = PHP 1700.00
Seasonic M12II Evo 520watts 80+ Bronze Full Modular = PHP 3040.00
ram ddr4: G.Skill Ripjaws V 1x8gb 2400 8gb CL15 = PHP 2010.00
Sandisk SSD PLUS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive = PHP 1920.00
mb lga1151: MSI B150M Night Elf = PHP 4760.00

Total: 35540 PHP (TipidPc)

even the cpu is working hard. this game badly needs vulkan/dx12 but sadly its a gimpworks infested title. im almost sure the next gta v will be like rotr even if it launches with dx12.

pwedeng stock cooler ka lang muna, tutal locked cpu naman eh. problema lang, at 100% cpu load, yung CPU temps mo would exceed +70°. yung sakin na haswell nasa 93°C eh mas power efficient ang skylake. the best bang for the buck cpu cooler is yung Cooler Master Hyper 212X. excellent price to performance ratio. higher than that, siguro you should either go for the noctua NH-D14/D15 or AIO liquid coolers.

my comments on your build:
sa rx480... di ba kaya 8gb?
ram: i think yung mobo mo may 4 na DIMM slots kaya it would be better to have a 4gbx2 package para sa dual channel since you can still upgrade in the future.
SSD: ipit ang 120gb brod. meron ako kaya i know kung maililipat mo lahat ng iinstall program and games mo sa HDD mo (presuming meron kang HDD na ikakabit), siguro pwedeng space management mo na lang. ang lalaki na kasi ng mga apps and games ngayon.

inupdate ko na yung bibilhin ko sir iniisip ko rin yung cpu cooler
dun sa rx480 nasearch ko wala nmn daw masyadong difference sa 4gb at 8gb sa performance, kpag gagamit daw ng 1080p reso nasa 3gb+ lng nagagamit while playing in mid-high setting.
merun ako hdd sir hehe, d tlga kakayanin kapag 120gb haha.

eto na yung updated build

sa tingin nyo po may mali? 35k lng po budget ko for this build.

[rmiloveramen]

ok na ung build mo para skin pero kung gsto mo lang naman na merong extra features sa mobo mo go for a b150 konti lang din namn dadagdagmo

 

[rebel01]

yung b series nga rin trip ko sir pero iniisip ko yung shipping fee, d pa nadagdag sa total price

siguro nxt time kung sakali magupgrade pa ako.

advise ko lang mas ok kc kung dun ka na sa mobo mag invest then sa ibang parts ka na lang mag upgrade,
kc kung mo ung iuupgrade mo pagnilagay mo ung bagong mobo mo lahat ng nakakabit tatangalin mo sa case mo di gaya kung ung GPU, hard drive, or cpu cooler

Good Day mga sir may mga nakabili na po ba sa dynaquest dito? ano po kayang mas mabilis na way para makuha ko yung mga needed parts asap. mas ok po ba i pick up nalang kesa i pa COD? medyo malayo rin po kasi samin dito, nung nag inquire naman ako kanina ang tamad sumagot nung sa ortigas branch..T_T

 

[nubbest]

saw this video shared on tpc. at first, I wondered why nobody even chimed in on his post. its really a good analysis. but then I realized it was an NVidia thread and they love dx11. then again, a lot of people on that thread have high end rigs. so I decided to share it here since I could count on my fingers who has high end rigs in this forum. also, themonyo shared that video of gta v wherein the cpu was working like a carabao.

PCHUB & DYNAQUESTPC parihas ko na, na try mag order online.

but not COD, since hindi sya available outside MM. (I'm from albay)

mas OK talaga pag pickup kasi pwede mo pa ipa test. for dynaquestpc try contacting their makati branch.

 

[akxzo]

Mga sir pede ba gamitan ng adaptor ung vga nung monitor ko dvi pala ung nabili ko motherboard msi night elf hindi ko tuloy magamit.

 

[themonyo]

Pchub binebenta na ng 11k yung 970
Pero sabagay, bakit ka pa mag 970 kung mas malakas ang 1060

 

[nubbest]

meron na rin rx470 4gb php9.7k sa easypc.

 

[XMoose]

Requesting Build

25k-30k.

Games: Dota 2, CS:GO (Max Settings). Crysis 3, Assassin's Creed, Fall Out etc, as long as aabot ng 60fps ung Heavy Games.
Programs: SQL, C++, CAD, Photoshop for short para sa game emulation for private servers.

I only have 900p Monitor kasi wala pang budget for 1080p.
No need for OC, as long as smooth lang ang performance.
Another thing is sana may Upgrade Path in the Future.

Any build suggestions?

not sure about dun sa video na shinare ni themonyo (didn't watch the full video or read the description) but I can run the same settings and same scenario on that video and I can tell you na hindi aabot ng 100% utilization yung cpu ko and mind you 3rd gen i7 lang cpu ko. Di ko din alam ano tingin mo sa gta 5 but it is one of the most optimized game that was released last year. Kahit yung GTX 970 ram issue hindi noticable sa gta 5.

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose a Computer

Tama, you should have at least read the description and what's the purpose of that video. That's because you have a 980ti on an i7 and that video tested a rx460 on a 6900k

 

[karlouie14]

good day... mga bossing at sa makakabasa nito... need advice lang po at gusto kong magassemble ng power computer worth 40k to 50k.... baka naman po pwede nyo akong bigyan ng idea ng parts na bibilhin ko specially video card at motherboards... at kung AMD or i7 ang gagamitin kong processor... gagamitin ko for hard 3d programs at hard 3d games... salamat po sa makakasagot....

pag magpapadeliver ba from easypc, call based lang? walang online order gaya ng dynaquest?

 

[themonyo]

Nung umorder ako dun, via call din eh. Payment via bank deposit. That was last year. Ewan ko if there were any changes
