[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.

Uy, swerte naman ng kapatid mo, sir.

Anyways, I am by no means an expert. But here's my take on this.

Overall, okay na okay naman yang build na naiisip mo, sir.

Sa ACM_TECH sa tipidpc ba galing 'tong processor at motherboad bundle, sir? Anyways, okay na okay naman yung napili mo. Pero kung kaya mo pa naman i-extend yung budget mo, I suggest for you to get Ryzen 5 instead. Okay na okay for gaming and multi-tasking. Sulit na sulit para sa akin.

Sa GPU naman, siguro by brand and/or design preference na din lang sa part na 'to. Yung pricing din pala. Kung di naman problema sayo ang brand, okay din naman ang PALIT.

Sa RAM, okay din. Pero kung ako ang papipiliin, mas gusto ko yung single stick na 8GB ram module.

Sa SSD, okay din kung meron. Pero kung hindi naman issue sayo or sa kapatid mo yung loading times, kahit wag na muna. Or kung meron kang budget para sa SSD, mas okay siguro na ipang dagdag mo na lang para mapalitan yung processor of choice mo na Ryzen 3 to Ryzen 5.

Sa HDD, okay na okay ang choice mo, sir.

Sa PSU naman, mas maganda siguro kung 600w. Konti lang naman siguro ang price difference.

Sa Case, okay din ang choice mo sir.

Ito pala yung build na sinuggest ko sa kaibigan ko way back 2017.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1400
Motherboard: MSI B350M MORTAR
RAM: 1x 8GB DDR4 (forgot the speed)
GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 1050 Ti
HDD: 1TB (WD Blue din yata)
SSD: None
PSU: Seasonic M12II-620 EVO
Case: Techware Alpha

Mag-2 years na rig niya. So far wala pa naman naging issues.

Hi sir salamat sa reply very much appreciated. I will take your advice sir. Tanong ko lang sir if 2-3 years pwede pa sya ma upgrade gradually like gpu first, then processor, etc... Pasensya na sir wala talaga ako alam hehe! And with regards sa cpu sir, is it okay kung dagdag nalang ako sa SSD instead na Ryzen 5? Di din naman heavy gamer yung kapatid ko so most of the time pang college work lang din nya gagamitin ang PC.

Sa ganitong unit, as far as I know, memory (ram) at storage (hdd) lang yung pwedeng i-upgrade. Sa gpu upgrade, well malabo.

Sir, installan mo ng CPU-Z lappy mo para makita complete details / specs. Kung 4GB lang yun ram installed sa lappy mo, kulang nga yan. At least 8GB sana lalo na gumagamit ka pala ng adobe softwares. Naka 8GB ram ako pero ramdam ko pa din na bitin kapag nagpho-photoshop ako.

DDR4 Laptop ram module @ 2133Mhz.

Nag-check ako ng video sa youtube. Teardown / Upgrade ng laptop model kagaya ng sayo. Ito yung link.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHAH42VKEHk

Bukod sa medyo mahirap yung teardown, yung installed ram module na 4gb by default sa unit mo ay soldered pa yata. Pero wag kang mag-alala kasi may isa ram slot naman na available for expansion.

Anyways, pili ka na lang kung either 4gb or 8gb ram ang idadagdag mo. Kung ako papipiliin at kung may budget, dun ako sa 8gb. Consider mo din mag-add ng SSD in the future.

Sir, salamat talaga sa pagsagot ng tanong ko. Malaking tulong to sa ginagawa ko ngayon.

Plan ko sana ung 8GB. Ano po maisuggest nyo na ram? Sa SSD nman po di ko rin kabisado yan, ipapalit ba yan sa Hard disk ng laptop ko? Pwde din po ba pa suggest dito kung anong ssd ang dapat bilhin ko for this unit?

I.assess ko lang kung makaya ko ba or dapat pa pag.ipunan.

May mga murang ram modules naman na brand new kung hindi sayo issue ang brand.

Sa SSD naman, hindi naman kailangang palitan yung current hard disk ng laptop mo. Mag-aadd lang. Regarding naman sa kung anong brand ang magandang kunin, madami eh. Merong samsung, kingston, adata, at madami pang iba. Depende din sa storage capacity na need mo. Check ka din reviews online.
