[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.

Okay lang po ba tong psu ko (thermaltake litepower 450) sa gtx 750ti? Thanks mga master.

pwede ka ata mag check dito ng mga wattage: http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/

Hi Sir,

Need your advice to upgrade my PC especially sa video card. Since namatay na yung video card ko (actually meron pa sya display pero aftersome time bigla magwhiwhite ung screen ko dont know the problem). I bought this rig 5 years ago.

budget: 15,000 (can still stretch)
usage: Games (PUBG, ROS, shooting games) , programming(visual studio), adobe LR & PS, some video editing (sony vegas)
other miscellaneous requirements:

Processor: Intel i7-4770K@ 3.5GHz (phase out? thoughts? do i need to let go?)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB (2x4GB) 1866Mhz (need upgrade?)

Video Card: (need help here)

Hard Drive: 120GB SSD Crucial // 1TB Seagate Barracuda
Optical Drive: Asus opticalDrive

Power Supply: FSP Raider RA550 (need upgrade?)
Casing: NZXT Phantom 410

monitor: Philips 191EL LED (need upgrade?)


need your input. napagiwanan na ba setup ko? mas maganda ba na benta ko nlng to at bili na ako ng bagong setup?

master pa help
Cheapest i5-8400 Build
pang reference lang
planning to build one with that kind of proc
TIA
Kudos!

CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 = 9890
Mobo: Asus TUF B360M-E Gaming = 5890
RAM: Adata 4GB single DDR4 2400Mhz (2.5k x 2) = 5000
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI OC 4GB GDDR5 = 10150
SSD: Adata XPG SX6000 M.2 256gb PCIe = 4590 (maybe a cheaper HDD instead or a 120gb ssd)
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W 80PLUS = 2850
Case: Tecware Nexus M TG Black = 1500
Total = 39870

master pahelp naman nagpapabuild ung boss ko ng PC
anu ba mas magandang processor core i7 770k or core i5 8600k or suggest ng mas better basta wag lang AMD
gsto nya gtx1050ti
sabay 16gb lang ung ram or mas better, mga magkanu ba aabutin hnd kasali ung monitor at pasuggest
nadin po ng monitor na abot ng budget

50K budget po

why the disdain for AMD? AMD is actually a better buy today than any of intel's CPU line-up. they offer better performance per peso against their intel equivalent. well, it's you money
kung gaming ang pag-gagamitan, lamang ng konti (maybe less than 5fps) ang 8600k. synthetic benchmarks, pareho lang ata sila ng performance
CPU: Intel Core i5-8600k = 13700
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z370M-D3H = 7590
RAM: GSkill Ripjaws V 16GB Dual DDR4 3200 = 10800
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI OC 4GB GDDR5 = 10150
SSD: Adata XPG SX6000 M.2 256gb PCIe = 4590 (maybe a cheaper HDD instead or a 120gb ssd)
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W 80PLUS = 2850 (replacement EVGA BV500)
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3 Clear Side Window = 2450 (pwedeng mas murang case pero mga 1k lang matitipid mo dito)
CPU cooler: Cooler Master CM Seidon 240P CPU Liquid Cooler = 2990 ( you can opt of a decent cooler master hyper 212x pero 2k din yun. anything below hindi na kaya ang CPU heat mo)
Monitor: LG 23MP68VQ 23" Frameless IPS = 7650
Total = 62,770

well, sobra sa budget pero mataas kasi specs na hiningi mo. cpu + mobo + ram + gpu at monitor pa lang abot 50k na agad.

or retain yung mobo tapos sa HDD, RAM lang iuupgrade na magagamit ko pa rin in case magupgrade ako ng mobo in the future. budget is total of 10k para sa dalawa. or mas ok na ba ngayon yung mga mini PCs (sample : LIVA Q Intel Apollo Lake N3350 eMMC 32GB, or kung may alam kayo na mas maganda ang brand para sa applications na namention ko above (budget up to 15k kasama na RAM at 1TB HDD)?

ngek! celeron or atom lang yung mga mini pc na yan. napaka-hina nyan para sa gusto mong gawin... duda nga ako na mas malakas pa performance ng luma mong athlon kesa sa mga yan eh.
well, kung yun lang kasya sa budget mo eh di patulan mo na at pagtyagaan mo na lang kung ano mang performance ang makukuha mo
about sa upgrade ng HDD at RAM, get an SSD. 240~250gb costs around +4k. tapos sa ddr3 ram, medyo mahirap recommend ngayon yan kasi dinamay mga vendor ang prices ng ddr3 sa pagtaas ng presyo ng ddr4. i would recommend trying to search for a reputable vendor of 2nd hand pc components. nasa 1k lang bentahan nila usually ng 4gb na ram stick. brand new sells for around 2k for a 4gb stick

good day guys, pahelp nmn guys. ... may 5 unit po ako pro talagang mahina connection dito.. ngpakabit ako ng connection PLDT home DSL 1,400/mth tapos 1 mbps lang...my 3 mbps pro mahal 3000/mnth...hindi pa fiber optic kc hindi pa dw nakaabot ang fiber optic dito... gusto ko sana lumipat sa globe kc sabi nila malakas dw ang globe... my signal nmn dito sa globe...tanong ko lang kung ok bha ang globe gamitin? and ano unang dapat gawin kung mgpakabit ng globe internt?

sana po my makaadvice.........

off topic ka brod. PC build/upgrade guide to, hindi internet connection troubleshooting or ISP recommendation.
i could only recommend na magreklamo ka sa customer service ng ISP mo at pag di tumino, demand ka ng pre-termination at dapat wala kang charge kasi hindi maganda ang service nila.

and bakit ang hina? ano talaga plan mo? plan 1599? 1299? or 999?

bakit sya ang tinatanong mo kung mahina? dapat yung ISP

sana kasya yung psu sa casing na yan

PSU: ATX PS2

Okay lang po ba tong psu ko (thermaltake litepower 450) sa gtx 750ti? Thanks mga master.

750ti only needs 60w
so, depende sa load ng entire system mo, most likely: kaya

need your input. napagiwanan na ba setup ko? mas maganda ba na benta ko nlng to at bili na ako ng bagong setup?

you have a decent rig tapos unlocked pa ang cpu mo at OC capable ang mobo. i would recommend na lagyan mo yan ng AIO liquid cooler (+4k) or Noctua NHD15 (4k), tapos overclock mo to around 4.2~4.7ghz. depende sa silicon lottery pero yan ang typical na nakakayanan ng processor na yan. sa ganyang frequency, hindi na nalalayo ang frames per second nyo ng mga latest generation ng intel.
yung monitor mo medyo low end against the rest of the system mo and you haven't mentioned kung ano yung luma mong gpu.
about sa RAM, medyo entry level na lang ngayon ang 16gb, try mo maghanap sa tpc ng 2nd hand na ddr3 with the same specs or model ng existing mo para magamit mo yung xmp profile. dito sa pinas sobrang overpriced ang RAM, dinamay ang DDR3 though mga old stock naman yung mga yun na dapat ddr4 lang ang affected.
GPU, so far hindi pa bumababa ng husto dito sa pinas ang prices ng mga video card. sa ibang bansa bumalik na sa MSRP yung mga prices this week lang. ewan ko kung kelan magno-normalize yan. pwede mong hintayin na lang ang 1100 series ng nvidia or hanap ka ng 2nd hand na 980ti. gtx 1060 3gb nasa +13k na lang pero before tumaas ang presyo ng mga yan, nasa +9k na lang yun eh. AMD radeon's are still overpriced and out of stock.
monitor, hanap ka ng around 24~27" na IPS monitor... though mahilig ka sa FPS games, pwede ka rin mag-TN panel type na monitor para mabilis ang response time. maybe you also want to consider a 144hz display (nasa +14k).
psu mo, kaya pa yan... though kung 980ti ilalagay mo, baka magaya ka sakin na 90% load

noted on this. highly appreciated yung recommendation nyo. sa ngayon, dun muna ako sa RAM at SSD then upgrade na lang din ng MOBO/CPU as mga susunod na buwan . thank you very much! sa uulitin!

[iamGermel]

may difference po ba yung mga gpu ? MSI, ASUS, PALIT, etc..? kasi pansin ko pinakamura DAW yung PALIT

 

[biscuitz]

^^ Usually sa cooling, OC saka style lang.

sa performance 1~3fps (if same gpu) halos same lang.

Thank you sir. Asus HD7850 nga pla ung old GPU ko at super baba ng FPS pag nag PUBG ako tinitiis ko lang. Need ko na nga palitan yung monitor ko hehe

for graphics and video editing po kasi pagagamitan nya sir sometimes CAD rendering and gaming...is there any build that bang for the bucks, would you like to suggest for AMD and Intel sir

 

[chelseagar]

maganda po ba ang emaxx brand na motherboard? anu po board brand okey sa ryzen 2200g?

baka kasi kulangin budget ko, plan ko na lang muna amd a8 9600, then upgrade na lang sa ryzen next year. or mas better ba diretso ryzen na lang?

para sakin kung bbili ka ng AM4 motherboard dapat B350M para pwede mag-OC at dpat updated ang BIOS.
eto ex. ng Ryzen 3 2200G APU nandyan na pati pag-Setup ng Ram/iGPU at Procie.. Good luck sa PC mo

$325 sa knila pero satin aabutin to ng ₱22k..

plan ko lang run at stock speed, wala ko alam sa mga overclocking. di naman ako hardcore user. pero b350 rin talaga plan ko buy kasi naisip ko baka someday mag OC rin ako

 

[themonyo]

plan ko lang run at stock speed, wala ko alam sa mga overclocking. di naman ako hardcore user. haha

you don't have to be a hardcore user to overclock nowadays.
punta ka lang ng BIOS/UEFI, set mo lang CPU multiplier to 3.8 or 4ghz (depende sa model), at yun na yun
reboot your PC and you should expect around 10% performance gain

sana kasya yung psu sa casing na yan
