[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.

Question about UPS. Dalawa lang kasi yung socket nya so kailangan ko pa ring isaksak yung AVR.
Question is Wall -> UPS -> AVR or Wall -> AVR -> UPS

i doubt na ganyan ang presyo ni pcexpress also, check first the availability of their parts sa pupuntahan mong branch
PSU: FSP Aurum 500w gold rated (3,650) walang seasonic ang pcx
GPU, kuha ka ng mas bagong model. sa budget mo, either RX 480 8gb or GTX 1060 6gb.
wag na yang liquid cooler na yan. somebody already mentioned na maingay ang pump nyan at di sulit ang cooling. atsaka you won't actually need a cpu cooler kasi locked naman ang CPU at mobo mo kaya hindi ka rin makakapag-overclock which is mostly the reason to buy one. yung stock cooler would do... pero kung gusto mo ng malamig na CPU temps, I would rather recommend a CM Hyper 212x or T4, Deepcool ICEEDGE 400 or ICE Blade, Cryorig H7; all of which is less than 2k

Question about UPS. Dalawa lang kasi yung socket nya so kailangan ko pa ring isaksak yung AVR.
Question is Wall -> UPS -> AVR or Wall -> AVR -> UPS

kung may UPS ka, wag na mag-AVR. the UPS already does all the function that the AVR can provide and more. dagdag clutter lang sa cables yan.
wala kwenta yun... mas may silbi pa extension chord na may surge protector... halos pareho lang presyo at tipid sa space.

drop the RX 460. mas malakas ang Geforce 1050Ti for around 500 petot more.
mahal din ata RAM mo merong 8gb kit for 2,490 (corsair vengeance 8gb dual ddr4 2400)
mukhang maliit lang monitor mo kaya the GPU should be more than enough. I think kahit mag-1080p ka pa, that new GPU will be able to deliver on high settings & 60fps.
also, virtual machines eat a lot of ram... well, you can allocate how much you want pero 8gb should be the minimum nowadays and 16gb is highly recommended.

Thanks po sir.. try ko po mag hanap ng Geforce 1050Ti..

Pde po ba ako mag 2400mhz sa i5-6400? based po kasi sa specs nung proc. ang recommended lang po eh DDR4-1866/2133
Pati din po sa board ko na H170m Plus " Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR4 2133 MHz and higher memory modules on XMP mode will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2133 Mhz."

thats why po na 4 slotted ang pinili ko po na board for upgrade po ng 4x4 RAM.

Marami pong salamat sir..

doesn't matter... it will just run the ram at a slower speed.

plan ko bumili ng 2g variant gtx 1050 pag available na sya pero kung 6k pataas price nya mag 1060 3g nlng ako.

nasa 6,500 ang mga 1050 at 7,500-8,500 naman ang 1050ti, lalo na at bago lang ito. kung 5k lang budget mo, either 750ti or rx460 lang ang choice
siguro 2nd hand na 950, merong mga nagbebenta ng less than 6k sa tpc
