[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.

uu sir, as per my experience mangada gumamit ng surge protector, basta pili ka nalang nung medyo maganda brand para makasigurado ka na rin sa quality..

Good Day sir! Very nice thread you have here. I'm seeking for an advice po.. I'm torn between restoring my CPU or I will just build a new one.. now my question is, what are the better replacement for my CPU to restore it and improve its performance as well? Secondly.. If I choose to build a new CPU.. What will be the best set up?

I have a budget of 10k but I'm willing to add cash if that's what it takes to build my simple gaming computer.. I'm a hardcore gamer, I usually run my desktop from 10-16 hours of playing or surfing the net.. thrice to four times a week! My games installed are: NBA2K16 and DOTA2. I was able to play these games in HIGH END settings. Unfortunately, my desktop PC can't run if I used my current video card which is Radeon R7 260x.. I can still open my desktop thru my motherboard graphic card only. So that's the reason why I can't play my games because my on board graphics can't handle it.. that's why I came up with these thoughts and questions.. What will be the best decision for me? As much as possible, no need parts/accessories or even BIG BRAND NAMES for my desktop.. I just want to have the simplest but best in performance in terms of high end graphics! Thanks and sir please do help me with your advices.. God Bless!

MY DESKTOP SPECS:

* MONITOR - Hanns-G 18 inches
* MOUSE & KEYBOARD - A4 Tech
* AVR - Protec
* CPU
- Casing = Neutron Colt
- Motherboard = EMAXX Tech
- Processor = AMD Athlon II x2 250 Processor, 3000 Mhz
- RAM (2 slots) = one 2GB and one 4GB a total of 6GB overall

2nd hand bagsak mo nyan master dev masyadong mababa budget mo para sa brand new na kumpleto pa pati accessories
try looking sa TPC ng bundle, baka 3rd gen i7 pa makuha mo

up ko lng mga bes

kabylake will be an incremental upgrade with barely around 5-10% performance gain from the previous gen like their previous incremental releases, problema lang nyan is pricing. usually mga bagong labas ay mas mahal kesa sa previous gen at bababa naman yung price ng skylake maybe by a few hundred. pwede ka bumuo ng temporary skylake build with a pentium G4400 para operational na yung unit mo tapos saka ka na mag-upgrade ng CPU pag nagnormalize na pricing ng kabylake. or, just go with an all out skylake based on what is available right now

Motherboard: MSI H110M PRO-VD ₱3,200.00
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 ₱1,990
total: ₱10,590

taz pag nagkapera ka upgrade mo ang GPU(GTX 1060), monitor (23 inch TN or IPS) at mag-Solid State Drive ka..

ganito kabilis ang pc mo pag katapos ng upgrade hehe good luck
