[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.

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

tnx sa input boss Jayheil, yang dalawa lang pinagpilian ko because of the total price malaki na rin aabutin rx480 + freesync monitor and also i dont want to change my psu(VS450) w/c is bitin daw for rx 480.


salamat din boss nubbest,parang amd gpu na cguro ako. by the way im using ivy bridge i5 3470 luma na pero sa tingin ko pasok parin sya para sa gtx 1060 & rx470/480.

Well, upgrade your PSU. Corsair VS450 is tier 6 anyway, invest on a better PSU. Sabi nga nila, NEVER EVER SKIMP ON A BAD PSU

 

[lookiehir]

paadvise naman po sa plan ko: budget 25-30k no monitors yet(planning on asus 1080p 24"). cheaper better pero 1080p sana quality (paindicate po ng prices)

CPU: I5-6400 or I5-6500
MOBO: MSI H110m Pro-VH
GPU: Zotac 1050ti OC PHP8850 dito samin
PSU: trendsonic 500w or any better but cheap
HDD: seagate or western Digital basta 1tb
WIFI or PCI ba to: TPlink worth php550.00
RAM: 8 GB ddr4(what brand ung ok na mura?)
CASE: Microton T2Z Armageddon (ok kaya to sa parts ko?) php2080.00 dito samin
OS: planning on windows 10


NEWBIE lang po sa PC assembling

LOC: tacloban City
(EDS, JOEBS, Greenware, Octagon lang po kilalang sellers ng pc parts dto samin)

THANKS

PSU! DON'T EVER CHEAP OUT ON A PSU. NEVER USE GENERIC PSU. PINAKA IMPORTANTE ANG PSU TOL, DAPAT YAN PNAKA MATIBAY KASI JAN NAKASALALAY COMPONENTS MO. DONT CHEAP OUT. GET A 80+ BRONZE PSU, TIER 3 MINIMUM LIKE THE SEASONIC S12ii 520w, P2, 690 PESOS LANG. WAG NA WAG KA MAGKURIPOT SA PSU, MAGSISISI KA, CAPSLOCK KO PARA DAMA MO LOL

Sa other parts:
CPU - Make it i5 7500 mas mabilis kesa sa skylake tapos almost the same price. Or dahil 1050 Ti lang din naman GPU mo, mag Pentium G4560 ka (may hyperthreading na rin parang i3) kasi yan talaga perfect combo, watch youtube pa, 1050 Ti + G4560
MOBO - B250 kung pwede, or hanap ka H110M boards na supported na Kabylake
GPU - Okay na yan wala ako tutol jan (Pero in my opinion RX 470 is better, dagdag lang konti)
PSU - Nasa taas na rant ko naka capslock lol, basta advise ko sayo tol, kung di kaya, mag Pentium G4560 ka muna, total 1050 Ti lang din GPU mo, okay na yan sa 1080p ultra settings 60 FPS, next time ka na mag i5, para maka afford ka magandang PSU
HDD - 1 TB Caviar Blue, add SSD soon
RAM - Mas maganda talaga B250 board mo para at least makaka achieve ka 2400 MHz speeds
WIFI - ur choice
CASE - mahal case mo, pero sabagay preference mo yan, but in my opinion ill go with tecware edge, maganda, may PSU shroud, maganda cable management, tapos 1,400 pesos lang

Eto build ko for 25k+ pesos:
Pentium G4560 7th Gen - P2,950
MSI B250M MORTAR 7TH GEN MOTHERBOARD - P5,190
GSkill Ripjaws V 4GB Single DDR4 2400 CL15 (F4-2400C15S-4GVR) - P1, 650
WD Caviar Blue 1 tb HDD - P2, 350
GIGABYTE GTX 1050Ti OC 4GB GDDR5 128BIT (GV-N105TOC-4GD) - P8,290.00
SEASONIC S12II-520 80+(SS-520GB) PSU- P2,690
Tecware EdgeCase - P1, 400

Total: 24, 520

Kung i5 7500 instead of Pentium (price i5 sa dynaquest is 10, 470) so total of 32, 040, then pag may budget add another ram stick, same model same latency ha

haha sorry po akala ko ok na ung trendsonicc. d ko kasi alam kung alin ung generic at alam ko lang la branded is corsair and deepcool. 1 week palang kasi ako nag decide na mag aassemble ako.

ung corsair vs450 kaya po ba sa assembly ko?

try ko ung i5-7500... sa mobo, anu kaya ung h110m boards na supp's kabylake. malaki kasi patong ng mga comp shop dito,

Max 30k lang kasi kaya. hehe

reply ko ulit maya new parts na desisyunan ko at hingi ulit ng opinion.

 

[confused17]

hi ! .. guys pwede po ba maghingi ng advice ? .. ang laptop ko po Lenovo Thinkpad edge 4 gb ram. nasa 700 gb ang internal memory nya. nvidia 610 lang po ata yung installed graphics card . tsaka 3rd generation i3 .

pwede ko po ba itong maiupgrade yung hardware parts ?

No, wag corsair VS 450. Seasonic talaga minimum or EVGA 80+ Bronze. Wag corsair Vs 450 tier 6 na yan. Follow mo lang yung build ko. You can get less if you'll change your mobo to a H110m bsta ask ka lang if updated na ba bios, if supported na sa kabylake, kasya dun sa 30k range. Pwede rin instead of Gigabyte 1050 Ti, go with Zotac or Palit, but prefer zotac. Around 7k lang yun kesa sa gigabyte, so mas makaka less kapa

what do you mean smooth? iba iba kase tayo ng definition ng smooth. yung sa iba smooth na sa kanila yung 30fps. sa iba naman 60fps.

kung balak mo 60fps, di kaya yan. cpu intensive kase ang gta V and watch dogs 2

Your CPU won't make it. At least i5, with a mid range GPU

Upgrade to i5 6500 or i7 6700. Or use the i3, update your BIOS na pwde makagamit ng kabylake, then buy i5 7500 or i7 7700. Mas mabilis sa 6700 and 6500. Then upgrade your GPU, ano GPU mo? At least RX 480.

 

[themonyo]

may mga nagbebenta na ng 980ti sa tpc starting at 15k
parang gusto ko mag-upgrade ah... kaso walang datung

2core 4 threads ay sapat n for gaming,,dgdgan m lng ram ng setup m..

 

[Fluctuate]

Guys meron bang gumagamit dito ng SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) sa rig nila? okay ba ang overall performance? parang gusto ko kasi idagdag sya sa rig ko in the future hehe

yung laptop ng utol ko naka SSHD
OS lang mabilis boot-up kasi maliit lang naman ang allocated SSD... around 30gb ata
pag napuno yun, expect slow-down... sa level ng HDD

paps how much kaya magagastos ko if i upgrade ko to 12gb ram kaya ba ng mobo ko?

thanks

you probably exceeded your vram limit in gta 5. i assume you only have 2gb. cap the usage around 1.6gb. wag mo rin isagad ang msaa. 0 to 2x to 4x, i could spot the difference easily and i didnt even play that much. 4x will start to hit a little. 8x will tank it.

nasa lowest na ung settings ng GTA V sir siguro upgrade nalang talga

 

[nubbest]

I don't think adding more ram sticks would help it. I think it maxes out at 7gb with everything enabled which I imagine you wouldn't play at. If I would upgrade your system, id probably get an ssd first then a 1060/470/480.

not sure about the watchdogs though.
