[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.

please read and try to understand my post again at naipaliwanag ko na yang mga tanong mo.



oi, mura yan ah... nasa 1k yan

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

Hello po sa mga PC experts nating kasymbianize! First time ko po magbuild sana matulungan nyo ko. Kelan po ba magandang bumili ng PC parts? Feeling ko kasi may sale pag December kaya gusto ko na magbuild ngayong buwan na to. Pacheck na din po ng mga specs na nakita ko kung okay na or suggest po kayo ng mas maganda.

budget: 40K
usage: gaming most of the time. browsing streaming and downloading. yung latest games po sana gusto ko laruin like GTA V and The Witcher 3.

Processor: Ryzen 5 1600
Motherboard: Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3
RAM: di ko pa alam kung anu pede basta 8GB

Video Card: 6gb Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming

Hard Drive: 1tb Toshiba 32mb 7200rpm or suggest po kayo basta 1 TB
Optical Drive: ndi kelangan

Power Supply: di po ako marunong pumili suggest po kayo
Casing: suggest po kayo yung maganda sana yung fans or maganda ventilation

monitor: yung mura po sana na maganda at least 17 inches

Suggest naman kayo mga bossing kung anu maganda. Nagsearch ako mukang sa PCHUB pinakamura mga parts.

wala ka pang SSD nyan
mobo... too expensive. malapit na sa presyo ng mga x370 mobo yan.
suggestion: ASRock AB350M Pro4 = 4620
gpu also too expensive, may mas murang 1060 6gb or you can even go with a 3gb since 1080p ka lang naman.

well, that's what you get for spending more than 20k on a video card
kung ok? well, let me break it down:

• if you have a 60hz monitor which means it is only capable of showing up to 60 frames per second.
• extra frames = waste of cpu & gpu computation prowess
• very high frame rate against your monitor will also cause screen tearing kung wala kang adaptive sync (e.g. gsync and freesync)
• extra frame rates also consumes more power and heat

pero kung meron kang magandang monitor to match your video card, ang only caveat ay yung high power consumption

try mo overclock yung monitor mo sa Nvidia Control Panel. kung saan mo binago yung refresh rate.
click mo yung Customize button tapos baguhin mo yung refresh rate to around 75hz. pag gumana, eh di masaya your monitor can now output up to 75 fps. once you are sure na stable ang 75hz, try mo ulit taasan at hanapin ang highest capable frequency your monitor can achieve. try it by increments of 1 after 75hz.
korean monitors can easily reach 90hz at depende sa swerte, umaabot ng 120hz

boss update ko lang. nung tinry ko sa laro ung 75hz . nag stock nalang 60- 75 fps ung GTA V. pero ok naman smooth. para ng nakakahilo lang tingnan lalo na pag nakasasakyan ka tapos bigla liliko o kaya pag nagbangga tapos tatalsik ka palabas sa kotse. pero overall naman ok sya. Marami salamt boss themonyo

Mga sir tama po ba ako Hindi ko po kasi Alam kung anu ang lock CPU at unlock CPU
Here is my example kung tama ako, if tama ako means nakakasunod ako sa mga advise ninyo.. If Mali ang example ko means more review pa..

Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) <<< lock CPU (kasi wala naman ako makita sa kahon na nakalagay na lock yan na siguro)..

Intel Core i5-8600K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.3 GHz Turbo) <<< unlock CPU (kasi may nakita ako sa kahon nanakalagay na UNLOCKED so yan na obvious).. Kung tama ako guys means nakakasunod ako sainyo sa advise nyo..
At salamat talaga sir themonyo laking tulong po to saakin sa advise mo buti nalang Hindi ko tinuloy yung pag build ko ngayung December ng PC ko. To be honest outdated na talaga ako masyado, last ko na laro is 2012 pa at during that time binigay kuna PC ko sa cousin ko sa province wala ako PC ngayun. So its time to rebuild again my new PC this 2018 and bung!

 

[jeffpar0721]

Sayang ung deal ng mga monitor sa lazada, nag end na
ung Samsung Curved 24" 9k nalang sana
ung Samsung LED 24" 6.5k nalang sana
ungs Samsung Curved 27" 12k nalang sana

btw anong app ginagamit nyo pang check ng utilization habang nag gagame? or basta gusto ko malaman kung nag bobottleneck ung cpu at gpu ko .

pinaliwanag ko na kung paano malalamang unlocked at locked eh ililista ko na para hindi ka na mahirapan magisip pa
unlocked may "K" or "X" yung SKU ng cpu: i3 8350K, i5 8600k at i7 8700k ang sa 8th gen. i9-7960X, i9-7940X, i9-7900X for LGA2066
locked pag wala tulad ng: i7 8700, i7 8650U (laptop), i7 8550U (laptop), i5 8400, i3 8100 for the 8th gen.

again, pwede mo gamitin ang mga Z370 motherboard sa kahit anong 8th gen processor. we just don't recommend it kaso nga halos magkasing-presyo na lang sila ng processor mo tapos di mo rin mapapakinabangan mga overclocking features ng motherboard. pero kung gusto mo ng +3000mhz RAM support and hardware RAID support, then go for it

Sayang ung deal ng mga monitor sa lazada, nag end na
ung Samsung Curved 24" 9k nalang sana
ung Samsung LED 24" 6.5k nalang sana
ungs Samsung Curved 27" 12k nalang sana

btw anong app ginagamit nyo pang check ng utilization habang nag gagame? or basta gusto ko malaman kung nag bobottleneck ung cpu at gpu ko .

FRAPS or MSI afterburner

kumita pa
for 2nd hand components, i would valuate that to around 10~11k
heto reasons ko:
i3 6100 brand new is around 5k. 2nd hand you should only pay around 3.8~4k for that.
mobo: 2nd hand 3k siguro
hdd: brand new is 2250. 2nd hand 1k na lang yan
gpu: basura..
psu: entry level. 1650 brand new. 2nd hand 1k na lang siguro.
ram: 4gb lang. ipagpalagay nting brand new is 2k. kahit 1.5k 2nd hand dahil mahal talaga ram ngayon
others: kung ano man yan like case and peripherals, +1~2k

maliban na lang kung may monitor. pwede mo dagdagan ng around 3~5k product sigur

Salamat sa suggestions sir @themonyo! Ndi na muna ko bbili ng monitor yung luma na lang muna. Eto na po yung bagung list ko:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 11070 if bought with MoBo
MoBo: Asrock AB350M Pro 4 - 4620
GPU: 6gb Inno3d iChill GTX 1060 X3 OC - 13980
RAM: Corsair Dominator PT 16GB 2x8G 3000Mhz CL15 - 9350 (dynaquest)
Hard Drive: 1tb Toshiba 32mb 7200rpm = 2150
Casing: Tecware Edge TG, atx, all black, x-side, 3x120mm, USB3 - 2000
Power Supply: Seasonic S12II, 520watts PSU, 80 bronze = 2780

Total: 45950

Questions lang po sa build ko:
1. Nabasa ko po kasi na mas maganda sa Ryzen kung mataas clock rate tapos samsung B-die yung RAM. Yan na po nakita ko na pinakamura kaya 16GB yung RAM. Totoo po ba yun based sa experience niyo?
2. Yung RAM po wala sa QVL list nung MoBo ko. Okay lang po ba yun?
3. Yung GPU ko po parang ang laki may 3 fans sya. Kasya po kaya siya dun sa casing na napili ko?
4. Wala naman po ba magbobottleneck dun sa system ko?

Salamat mga master mukang malapit ko na mafinalize yung build ko!

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

If mag i3 8th gen ka, better go with ryzen 3 1200 for now. Kasi ang mga z370 boards for 8th gen is super mahal, ka presyo na ng mga procie. Kaya kung mag 8th gen ka, wait mo muna yung B and H series na mobo, baka sa 2018 mag-release mga manufacturers.

1. wala akong ryzen. i just read and watch a lot of tech shit about sa effect ng higher clock speeds sa ryzen, there is little improvement apparently at mostly ang nakikinabang ng malaki dun ay mga R7 or TR. nakikinabang din naman ang mga R5 pero maliit lang eh... sa mahal ng prices ng RAM ngayon, ang hirap i-justify ang pagbili ng high frequency ram kung di rin lang naman R7 ang bubuuhin mo.
2. about compatibility, mas mabuti kung ipa-test mo muna sa bibilhan mo yung RAM para sigurado kang gagana at pwede mo pa papalitan habang nandun ka pa. always update the BIOS/UEFI for better compatibility at laging may update yan.
3. hindi ko alam, may specifications ang mga Case kung anong maximum length ng GPU ang supported. compare mo sa dimensions ng GPU mo. make sure na may space ka na pagdadaanan ng PCIE power cable para sa GPU.
4. i f*king hate bottleneck questions

mga sir recommended nyo pa ba i3 8100?

maganda pa naman specs mo with i5 6500 against dyan sa i3 8100 mo ah it's only around 12% better than your current processor on some tasks. bili ka na lang ng magandang video card like a 1060 at SSD. hindi magandang combo kasi lalabas na mas mahal pa motherboard mo kesa sa processor mo. or hintay ka ng entry level motherboard ng 8th gen by around 3rd week of january to early february as forecasted.

Intel i5 6500
MSI H110-M Pro VH Plus
Kingston HyperX DDR4 8gb 2400
Western Digital Blue 1TB
Seasonic M12 II Bronze 520w
ThermalTake Suppressor F31 windowed

May mabibili bako sa 5k ko pang CPU lang
Pang dota 2 ko lang sana

kung CPU lang, pentium G4600 nasa +3.7k lang... pero kung buong unit na may mobo, ram, case, psu, hdd pa na kasama, hanap ka ng 2nd hand

 

[vergelemo3]

tanong lang po.

oks lang din ba kahit 12gb ram?

bale may 8gb ako. kaso parang di sapat. hehe. mahal kase ng 8gb. oks lang din ba kahit 4gb nalang i dagdag ko?
