[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

currently sold my past rig and by next year since waiting din ako for lower prices kung sakali lalo na sa gpu eh balak ko magbuild ng new rig. by april balak ko kasi uuwi muna ako japan para magvacation.

plan budget is 100-120k peripherals included
paquote po ng build
gaming at slight productivity use like 1080p video editing

heto modified recommendation ko from page 3333
CPU: i7 8700k = 20400
mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z370XP-SLI = 9600
RAM: Gskill Trident Z 16GB Dual DDR4 3200 = 9200
SSD: Samsung 960 Evo M.2 250GB NVME = 6950
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 2TB = 3600
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8gb = 24790
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 Liquid Cooling = 5490
PSU: Seasonic G-750 750Watts 80Plus Gold = 5350
Case: Phanteks P400 Eclipse (3700) or NZXT S340 (3950)

total without peripherals = 89,330

peripherals are arguably based on personal preference
you can spend as much or as little as you want

i kinda liked logitech products kaya ang daily driver ko ay Logitech G710+ (keyboard) at mx master (mouse)
sa mechanical keyboards there are different switches and form factors... i would recommend that you try them out first before deciding which device you should buy...
ganun din sa mouse... merong mga preferred na magaan/mabigat, maliit/malaki, rgb, wireless, etc...
ikaw, baka gusto mo either razer or corsair. marami pang ibang brand kaya better research first before buying one.

monitor, medyo masakit ang high end monitors. lalo na kung gagamitin mo for video editing which would need a high quality IPS panel that can support 30bit color depth and sRGB color profile. pero kung di mo naman bread and butter yan at gagamitin for professional video editing, yung mga decent 1440p or 4k IPS monitors should do. di ko rin alam kung importante sayo ang 144hz at dynamic refresh rate for fast paced gaming.

anyways, you still have around 30k of budget for your peripherals

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

Boss themonyo, pwede ka po mag suggest ng PC build for gaming/editing around 35K ang budget? Preferably po Ryzen 1600 ang processor. Para lang sa boss ko nagpapatanong kasi siya medyo hirap ako bumuo ng build sa 35K budget eh. SSD and 8 GB RAM lang request niya.

Salamat!

EDIT: Okay lang medyo sumobra ng kaunti sa 35K boss kasi yung nagawa mo medyo mabigat around 38K siya.

33k r5 1600 build
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 = 11040
Mobo: MSI B350m Bazooka = 4850
RAM: Gskill 8gb 2400mhz = 3950 (pataas na ng pataas ang presyo ng RAM)
GPU: Palit gtx 1050 2gb = 5750 (tumaas din to ng 100)
SSD: WD Green 120gb = 2900 (ang mahal ng 240/250gb... +4k na)
PSU: Seasonic S12ii 520w = 2850 (last year nasa 2650 lang to)
Case: Thermaltake Versa H15 windowed = 1850

Total = 33,190

pwede ka magdagdag ng 1tb HDD from either WD (2350) or seagate (2390) which totals to 35,540 or 35,580

a few other notes to consider:

• cheaper mobo.. a gigabyte ab350m-hd3 (4500) pero 2 lang ram slots kaya ram expansion will be very limited.
• cheaper ram sticks from adata... pero 2133mhz lang... pwede mo dual channel (Adata 4GB DDR4 2133 = 1850 x 2)
• wala ng hdd pero palit ng samsung 850evo 250gb (4950)
• cheaper case maybe

 

[mariane1994]

thnx po sa reply...check ko mga recommendations and advice mo po

Processor Intel Pentium G4600 3.6 ghz - 4000 (di mo na need mag i3 sa ngayon dahil same na lang sila ng performance dahil sa multi thread)
Motherboard: MSI B250M Pro VDH - 4030
Ram: 4gb ddr4 2400 G.Skill Aegis - 2590
HDD: 1tb Seagate Barracuda - 2320 (sayang lang kung mag 500gb ka dahil magkano lang naman diference ng 1tb at 500gb)
PSU: Corsair 450watts PSU - 1700
GPU: Palit GT 1030 2gb - 3400
Case: ikaw na bahala pumili ng trip mo madami na magagandang case ngayon na mura
Total: 18,040
about sa cooling system naman, 2 intake at 2 exhaust lang ok na
di mo na ri need palitan yung cpu cooler dahil di ka magoverclock so stock cooler lang lahat
buy ka nalng extrang case fan para ok na

monitors:
Philips 19.5" 200V4QSBR FHD - 3890php
BenQ 21.5" GW2270H FHD - 5750php
BenQ 24" RL2455HM 1ms - 9000php
Dell S2316H 21.5" IPS FHD - 8500php

ask ko lang po kung sakaling papalitan ung mboard ng ibang brand anu po kaya maganda sa build na to...balak ko din upgrade ung graphics card sa gtx 1050 4gb..

Asrock Asus Gigabyte po kahit ano dyan

Mga sir! What do you think about this build? (pacheck nalang po ng attachment)

View attachment 330875

Build is already M.2, Additional Storage of 1TB WD 7200rpm. Mobo, i think is future proof? (slight idea lang since AMD cpu's are expected to be at 3yrs life expectancy ..or until maglabas sila ng newer cpu) so settled for i think 2 years or less. Cooling system upgrade ready.

worth it ba? by the way total build including monitors and other peripherals is yung nasa bottom, roughly 70k. If there is something that needed to be changed, I'am all ears for suggestions. PC build purpose is for gaming (Tomb Raider, Battlefield 1 etc.), lots of multi tasking, rendering and Cad works

comments and suggestions:
CPU: stick to the cheaper R5 1600 instead. they're basically the same... sabi nila better binned daw ang may mga X pero typically they just achieve the same OC speed. also, walang cpu cooler na kasama ang mga "X" na ryzen kaya dagdag gastos ulit... na wala rin sa build mo.
Mobo: kung wala kang balak mag-SLI, better stick with a cheaper B350 chipset instead. yun lang naman pinagkaiba nila basically eh
SSD: hindi pa NVME yan which is around 4x faster than your current choice. Samsung 960 Evo M.2 250GB (6950). kung hindi rin lang mag-NVME, stick to the 2.5" form factor. mas mura at walang problema sa init. samsung 850 evo is still the king.
RAM: yun matitipid mo sa ssd (unless mag nvme ka) mobo at cpu, pwede allocate sa faster RAM. around 3000mhz or siguro. pero pwede na rin yang choice mo
Case: sorry, pero di ko type case mo. there are other better looking cases from better brands for that amount of money. Corsair carbide 88r for the same price. tecware titan din... local brand pero very decent build and style.

monitor: LG 23MP68VQ (7.7k) mas malaki at pogi pa
keyboard: hhhmmm... i don't know if you've done your research pero better do it before buying this. though original cherry mx switch sya, meron ka na bang preferred switch type (red, blue, brown)? pero the price of this is quite good for an original cherry mx. for cheaper alternative, merong redragon, rakk, tecware.
case fan: corsair sp120 for 3.6k? dami ata at masyadong malaki budget mo para dyan. merong mga mura that basically does the same. atsaka pwede na siguro 2 extra lang... dagdag 1 for intake atsaka 1 for exhaust. usually naman may kasama na ang case na 1 intake eh.

Thanks for this sir themonyo!

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

Good am mga sir. Tanong ko lang kung okay ba ung bblhn ko Intel Pentium G4560 + MSI H110m PRO-VH PLUS for 4k? DOP niya April 2017. Thanks!

kung walang problema yung mobo, panalo yan
yung g4560 pa lang kasi mahirap na maghanap ngayon, kung meron man stock, nasa 3.7k ang bentahan. yung mobo nasa 3k din yan.

Sige sir salamat! Ano po ba dapat bilhin after ko mabili yung bundle niya? Gusto ko na kasi gamitin agad e kahit wala muna GPU haha.

RAM na napakamahal ngayon 4gb minimum sana
power supply at case - pwedeng yung mumurahin muna tapos palitan mo na lang pag may budget ka na
hard disk or ssd

make sure pala na may kasamang cpu fan with heatsink yung package. dagdag gastos pa kung wala

finally, monitor, keyboard at mouse

Alright sir! Salamat po ng marami!

Edit: Sir @themonyo, tanong ko lang po kung okay na tong PSU para sa bubuuin ko na system unit.

Sir baka po pwede magpabuild ng pc? sa pcpartpicker.com pang pubg po sana $600 budget first time ko po magbuild ng pc. Thanks!

bakit sa pcpartpicker? nasa US ka ba? may access sa newegg/amazon?
yung ibang parts kasi dun mahirap hanapin dito sa pinas
anyways, heto ryzen 3 1200 build
