[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.

salamat ng marami. regarding sa HDD yes aware naman ako. Bibili pa ako ng mas malaking storage para matransfer ko mga files ko.

ano pala pinaka cheap na monitor 144hz, gsync, ultrawide 1440p monitors ? eto plang nakikita kong pinaka mura eh. meron paba mas mura?

http://dynaquestpc.com/product/acer-xb241h-predator-24-144hz-1ms-g-sync-gaming-monitor/

saka napansin ko mas mura ung freesync kesa sa gsync. ano ba pinagkaiba nila? and pwede ko ba gamitin ang freesync para build ko?

hindi mo magagamit ang freesync sa nvidia na video card. pero mapapakinabangan mo naman yung high refresh rate ng mga ganung monitor
mahal talaga gsync with the same specs ng freesync brother nila, around 10k ata price difference nila
about sa pagpili ng monitor, better check din kung TN sya or IPS ang panel. generally speaking, mas maganda ang kulay at viewing angles ng mga IPS panels. mas mura naman ang TN pero napakabilis ng response time nya (yung 1ms) against sa IPS na 5ms or more.

 

[28redbaloons]

pa help nman mga boss, nag buy kasi ako pentiumG4560 na Proc. anu ba build neto gustu ko kasi igaming siya.. ung mura lang around 8k budget.
RAM/HD/MOBO/PSU/ Case. salamt po

 

[s0l0m0n]

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

boss nagpapabuo kasi ung kasama ko ng pc bali eto mga gagamitin niyang application

Cadd
Sketchup and Vray
Photoshop
Revit
Lumion

tanong ko na din po ung revit po pag ininstall kasama na ba sa cadd un o hiwalay mo siya iinstall

Kung ok po sna Intel po ung gagamitin na CPU kasi ung budget is 50k-60k

MAraming salamat po

8k lahat na? pero buti nakahanap ka pa nyan. may cpu fan ka na ba?
RAM: adata 4gb 2133mhz = 1850
mobo: ECS H110M4-c3d = 2.7k
cheapo case + psu: Fortress Panamera Casing with 700w PSU = 1200
hdd: wd 1tb = 2350
total = 8100
dagdag ka na lang ng geforce 1050/ti, panalo na yan

comments muna, balikan kita pag medyo free na ako:
cad? revit is also a cad software technically speaking. baka autocad? = mababa lang requirements nito. kahit dual core na high frequency ok na. at least 8gb of ram lang ang recommendation ko at capable na video card lalo na kung heavy ka sa 3d at continuous rendering.
sketchup with vray = heto ang maraming kelangan na processor cores. i would rather suggest an AMD 1600 or 1700 dito. next option would be yung bagong i7 ng intel. nakikinabang ang vray sa high end na gpu pag nag-real time render ka but not necessary.
photoshop = depende sa usage mo sa photoshop, pero matakaw sa RAM ito. mga 16gb or more ang recommended
revit = kung pro-user ka nito... masakit ang requirements nito. pero kung pwede naman consumer parts lang, same setup ng sa sketchup din
Lumion = di ko pa nagamit to pero based sa website nya, pareho rin lang ng sa revit at sketchup pwede ng setup.

notes:
masakit balansehin to kasi hindi naman intended for gaming pero malaking pakinabang ng lumion at revit sa high end na video card.
napakamahal pa ng RAM at 16gb (at least) ang recommended dyan.
you will definitely need an SSD
maybe a 1070 pero this is the least priority.

 

[batsoy2007]

nc salamat sa lahat hehehehehe

 

[schimdth]

Pa advise naman bakit hindi ko mapagana ang dual channel mode ng computer ko. Yung motherboard ng computer ko is Asus B250F ROG Gaming Strix yung ram ko naman ay T-Force Delta RGB 2x8GB 2666mhz. Ganito lahat ng scenario:

1) Lahat ng item ko ay brandnew ko nabili
2) Hindi as Dual kit ko nabili ang ram pero na purchase ko sila a week apart
3) Identical yung ram (Same Brand, Size, Speed, latency)
4) Na test ko yung 4 Dimms Slot ng Motherboard at lahat naman sila ay working
5) Na test ko din individually ang 2 ram ko at lahat naman ay working
6) Tinry ko na din naka enable/disable ang XMP Profile
7) Tinry ko na din babaan ang frequency ng ram
8) Brandnew din ang ibang components (PSU, Processor)

No display ang monitor pag nakakabit ang 2 ram hindi umaabot sa BIOS no beep sound pero pag single ram lang ay ok naman. Ano kaya ang remedyo dito?

Thank you sa advise nyo.

kung gaming ang primary use mo sa laptop, i would recommend to look for a decent GPU. secondary na ang cpu performance kasi gpu ngayon ang nagdidictate ng gaming experience.
ang bagong geforce 10 series ngayon ay equivalent na sa desktop performance nila kaya i would recommend searching for those. yung mga lumang 900m series ang laki pa ng performance reduction nila against their desktop equivalent. around 30% ata.

Sir patulong naman..magbubuo kasi kong pc..ano bang prefer nyo d2..pang render ko po for designing and konting gaming sir..d n kasi ko pamilyar sa pagbubuo ulit..para matuto na din po..

Marming marming slamat mga ka sb..

ano yang psu mo? true rated ba yan? i would recommend either an evga 430b or seasonic s12ii 520
pagdating sa rendering, the more cpu cores/threads, the better and faster performance you'll get. i3 7100 is not worth the money kung intel ka and just opt for the cheaper pentium g4560 or g4600 instead. parehong 2core/4thread only with the i3 having faster clock speeds.
ryzen 3 would be a better alternative, set mo lang frequency nya to around 3.8ghz kahit stock cpu cooler, panalo na pwede mo subukan at baka makachamba ka ng 4ghz OC
or, you can opt for the newer i3 8100... pero masyadong mahal ang mga mobo kaya hindi rin good value
ram, pili ka lang kung ano trip mo. b250 mobos support up to 2400mhz ram frequencies... b350 support up to 3200mhz. ram speed has better performance benefits on ryzen systems.
video card = kahit ano brand. or kung may habol kang color theme/porma. performance differences only around 1-3fps and is still under the margin of error... though there are better cooling cards... still, i wouldn't spend much on it as long na less than 500 pesos ang price difference sa cheapest model.
hdd = either of the 2 will do.

summary: go for ryzen

comments muna, balikan kita pag medyo free na ako:
cad? revit is also a cad software technically speaking. baka autocad? = mababa lang requirements nito. kahit dual core na high frequency ok na. at least 8gb of ram lang ang recommendation ko at capable na video card lalo na kung heavy ka sa 3d at continuous rendering.

maraming salamt sa info naibigay niyo sir wait ko nalang po ung suggested niyong parts ng computer para sa mga application na to

intel i7 coffeelake build
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700k 3.7-4.7ghz 6 core Coffeelake = 20400
Mobo: MSI Z370 PC Pro = 8200
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16gb 2x8GB 3200Mhz = 9450
PSU: Seasonic G-650 650Watts 80Plus Gold Modular Power Supply = 4850
SSD: Crucial MX300 M.2 275gb (NVME) = 5450
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1tb = 2390
CPU cooler: Corsair H100i GTX Hydro Series CPU Cooler = 5450
Case: InWin 503 Mid Tower Windowed = 3290
GPU: wala

Total = 59,530

pros: relatively high end, high performance components. excellent CPU performance for rendering. OC to 5~5.2ghz arguably the fastest gaming CPU on the market today. pc p0rn
cons: wala pang GPU. programs that make use of GPU power will be slow on this build. will crap in games until a gpu will be added.

Ryzen Build - basically, with the same parts as above.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700 = 16000
Mobo: MSI B350 Tomahawk = 7000
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16gb 2x8GB 3200Mhz = 9450
PSU: Seasonic G-650 650Watts 80Plus Gold Modular Power Supply = 4850
SSD: Crucial MX300 M.2 275gb (NVME) = 5450
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1tb = 2390
Case: InWin 503 Mid Tower Windowed = 3290
GPU: Palit GTX 1060 Dual Fan 3G = 11200

Total = 59,680

pros: has 8cores/16threads... programs that make use of these will have blazing performance. has decent video card for gaming. helps a lot in real time rendering.
cons: none that I can think of

Pa advise naman bakit hindi ko mapagana ang dual channel mode ng computer ko. Yung motherboard ng computer ko is Asus B250F ROG Gaming Strix yung ram ko naman ay T-Force Delta RGB 2x8GB 2666mhz. Ganito lahat ng scenario:

sama nyan brod... baka may tama yung mobo mo
wala namang known issue ang 200 series na chipset... most ram issues were fixed during the first few months ng 100 series.
baka may warranty ka pa ng mobo, try mo pa-troubleshoot sa pinagbilhan mo or unit replacement

hi sa inyo mga sir, lalo na kay sir demon na walang sawang tumulong dito,

share ko lang, last year humingi ako advise ano magandang gaming rig, and yes sinunod ko po payo nyo, after months ng pag iipon sa wakas nakabili din ng vc
