[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.

pwede naman. same generation at socket type yan eh.
kung sakaling di gumana, walang mangyayari. hindi magboboot yung PC mo. walang aakyat na power sa motherboard at mamamatay lang after pressing the power button. pero that is very unlikely unless sira yung CPU na bagong lagay

ah ganun ba sir . ok ba sya kung ipapartner dun e kahit 1050ti lang? may ps4 na ko pero namamahalan kasi ko sa mga games kaya parang gusto ko sya ibenta

 

[hyperdata1]

Hindi po ba na ba bottleneck c i3-6100 kay gtx 1050ti? Yan sana ang bibilhin ko this coming 13th month...

never be bottleneck :")
got mine kabibili ko ng nakaraan
B150 Bazooka Plus / i3 6100 / Win 8 / GTX 1050ti /4GB 2133mhz DDR4 / SSD GEil 120GB
smooth sa 1080p Ultra Setting Dota 2

oks na ba to mga sir? di ko na sinama ung HDD kase meron naman ako.

pinag iisipan ko kung MSI B150M Night Elf or ASRock H110M-DVS / D4 Micro-ATX

di ko naman din kase ma check difference nila bukod sa additional ram slot at porma.

ano po ma susuggest nyo sir?



BTW, bat nagmahal bigla price nila haha.

Any help regarding my planned PC gaming rig.
Gtx 1060 lng tlga Plano ko GPU pero may nabili kapatid ko a little over $40 video card sa price ng 1060

I already bought these parts
video card EVGA gtx 980ti 6gb classified (which was on sale -60% off) A REALLY GREAT STEAL!!!!
EVGA 750 watts g1 PSU
Hyper evo 212
Nzxt s340 red/black casing


Wala pa ako processor and motherboard. Kindly help kung ano hindi mag bottleneck sa GPU ko.
Torn between MSI M5 or Gigabyte Ultra Gaming. Which is better? Any thoughts on this. thank you mga ka Sb.
Or will I drop the evo and do AIO cooling system sa processor?

 

[dummyask04]

hi sir devil, matagal tagal narin po akong nagbabasa dito sa thread na ito, at nababasa ko pong active na active kayo, and nagbigay din po kayo ng suggestion sa akin regarding building my own pc with the budget that I presented but I am just wondering, kung kayo po ang bubuild ng pc, ano po ang dream build nyo? and ano naman po ang masusugest nyo na buget and specs for building a gaming pc (mostly sabihin na natin for dota2)?

madami kasi akong nakikitang budget nila for example nasa 12-15K, pero parang kulang tlga, kayo po ano po suggestion nyo?

 

[Summer1]

question lng po. AMD A4-3400 CPU bottleneck na po ba 1050 mini ti?

AMD A4-3400 CPU can i upgrade to AMD A10 or higher? Kasya kaya to sa motherboard nd working?

TIA

mukhang factory overclocked yung DUAL-GTX1060-O6G
in my opinion, just get the cheapest one you can afford and overclock yourself
less than 5fps lang naman performance difference ng mga yan sa isa't isa... which for me, doesn't justify the extra costs
baka may habol kang porma/theme, temperature, etc... those should also be considered in choosing your PC parts... pero kung wala... I'd just settle with the cheapest one

wow 980Ti 60% off penge naman kami
pati mobo mo, super high end
heto, check mo side by side comparison:
https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/350968-317164
check mo na lang and compare yourself.
Gigabyte has thunderbolt support if that matters to you and also has higher CPU voltage tweaking which can potentially yield higher overclocking performance.
about sa CPU cooler... maraming magagandang AIO na lumabas ngayon... though I think you should research first on their pros and cons before committing to buying one. kasi meron din mga air type cpu cooler (Noctua NHD14 or 15) that can basically deliver almost the same performance without the worry of maintenance for an AIO water cooler

dream build? laging nagbabago depende sa bagong parts
basically, I've already made my dream build with the parts and budget available at that time. ngayon, I have 2 builds that I want to do if money is not an issue and a 3rd unnecessary build just for the sake of it
1st is a Small Form Factor Build. I'm still torn between a cube or a slim case. housing a Z170n itx mobo, i7 6700k, cryorig c7, m.2 ssd, 4tb hdd, gtx 1070
2nd is an AMD Zen build with Vega... pero next year pa malalaman parts list nito.
3rd full x99 build

kung dota 2 lang naman lalaruin, mababa lang specs na kelangan nyan. maganda gastusan dyan is monitor na high refresh rate with g-sync or freesync support depende on which GPU you will buy.
CPU = i3... kung talagang DOTA2 lang lalaruin, kahit G4400 kaya eh
mobo = H110 (kung konti lang naman future upgrades) or B150 mobo. H170 or Z170 kung maraming PCIE at SATA ports kelangan mo.
RAM = 8gb is more than enough. 4gb will do but might cause stuttering occasionally.
storage = 240gb for fast loading time.
PSU = 500w true rated/bronze
GPU = RX470 mura sa US ($170). pero cheaper GPU's like: rx460, 1050, 1050ti should be able to deliver excellent frame rates on max details.
approx 25k siguro without monitor and peripherals on a 1050ti
minus 2.5k siguro kung G4400 cpu, atsaka minus 1k for 4gb of RAM. minus another 1k kung 120gb ssd lang or HDD na lang. and minus another 2k kung rx460 lang gpu.

question lng po. AMD A4-3400 CPU bottleneck na po ba 1050 mini ti?

AMD A4-3400 CPU can i upgrade to AMD A10 or higher? Kasya kaya to sa motherboard nd working?

TIA

unfortunately, yes. bottleneck na yang cpu mo ng gpu.
heto, check mo mga compatible na CPU sa socket type mo

how to be you po talaga sir themonyo ? kahit hindi ko tanong sinasagot mo napapa "thanks" ako eh haha. sir pwdeng pa explain po ang "bottleneck". ginogoogle ko once pero gsto ko lng ng mas malinawan

Thanks. Meron pa kaung suggestion na pinakamurang gtx 1060? nakita ko kasi sa dynaquest ang Asus DUAL-GTX1060-O6G ay 14k lang compare sa other nsa 15k+ siya

 

[themonyo]

how to be you po talaga sir themonyo ? kahit hindi ko tanong sinasagot mo napapa "thanks" ako eh haha. sir pwdeng pa explain po ang "bottleneck". ginogoogle ko once pero gsto ko lng ng mas malinawan

to put "Bottleneck" simply:
when one part of your hardware hinders another part to fully deliver its intended performance.
ex:
1) lagyan ko ng gtx1080 yung G4400 na cpu on a 1080p 60hz monitor... basically, mahina yung CPU at monitor mo para sa full capability ng GPU mo.
2) Sandisk Extreme SSD on a SATA 3 (rev 2) mobo. which supports SATA 6Gb/s interface and when connected to SATA 6Gb/s port, can reach up to 550/520MB/s sequential read and sequential write speed rates respectively. However, when the drive is connected to SATA 3 Gb/s port, it can reach up to 285/275MB/s sequential read and sequential write speed rates respectively.
3) my current setup: i7 with R9 290 on a 2560x1600 monitor. GPU to weak for my CPU and monitor to get the latest AAA games to play @ 60fps or more.

Naku na chambahan ko lang yan boss themonyo. Sobrang swerte talaga.
Nag sale nun black Friday sa Amazon. wla pang 5 mins normal price na agad yun video card buti naorder ng kapatid ko.pang Gtx1060 lng talaga budget ko pero nakita nya mas ok na videocard. Naguguluhan nako tuloy ngayon kung mag z170 or x99 build nlng. Di ko kasi alam kung ok ang gaming sa windows 10. Will research more about this build. Thank you sa insight boss. Motherboard/ Processor / Cooler pa problema ko. Hirap mag decide considering hindi pipitsugin yun nabili videocard.

Motherboard/ Processor / Cooler pa problema ko. Hirap mag decide considering hindi pipitsugin yun nabili videocard.

to help you decide on what kind of build to go with, use this questions as reference:

1. ano bang pag-gagamitan mo sa PC na bubuohin mo? kung games lang naman, i5 6600k should be enough. overclock it to around 4.7ghz should give you a decent FPS bump. games rarely use more than 4 cores of processing. maybe mga up-coming games pwede makinabang.
2. kung video editing, virtual machines and 3d rendering, dun mo mapapakinabangan ang i7. the more cores the better performance and time savings you'll get. dyan din pumapasok ang tanong kung X99 vs Z170. kung light usage ka lang naman sa nabanggit kong workload, pwede ng z170... pero kung pagkakaperahan mo, dun ka mag-X99.
3. multi-GPU support... mas maganda ang implementation ng X99 sa multi-GPU support pero hindi naman recommended na kasi kahit mga manufacturer at game devs ngayon mas preferred na you either stick to 1 powerful GPU or only 2.
4. NVME SSD... kung kelangan mo nito at mag-multi GPU ka pa, X99. pero kung 1 GPU at 1 NVME, pwede na Z170.

edit: here's a good vid explaining why you should go for a CPU on either X99 or Z170

Oks boss. Gaming + Video rendering/ editing Ngayon medyo naliliwanagan nako. Unexpected kasi yun videocard kaya namroblema ako bigla. Haha biglang naging high end rig tuloy bubuuin ko. Actually dream build na to, coming from i5 3570 + gtx 750 ti build. Thanks so much boss. This will narrow down my choices.

 

[themonyo]

sir ako din gaming desktop.. pero CPU LANG PO.. UN KAYA ANG BATTLEFIELD 1, BATTLEFIELD 4,COD.. ANG BUDGET KO PO 25K-30K.. THANKS

sorry, natabunan at ngayon ko lang nakita. heto recommended build ko:
CPU: i5 6400 = 8,590
Mobo: ASRock H110M-DSV/D4 = 2,800
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb = 2350
HDD: WD Blue 1tb = 2290
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520 = 2650
GPU: Palit GTX 1060 Dual 3gb = 9,950 (pwede yung mini para mas mura ng konti)
Case: NZXT Source 210 = 1850 (pwede palitan depende sa trip)
Total = 30,480
