[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.

Guys, please help me with this build. I have zero knowledge when it comes to PCs and related stuff. Basa basa lang ako dito sa forums and nuod ng videos on YT. If meron po kayo ma suggest na mas maganda or murang parts. All of the parts and prices are from Lazada. Planning on building this coming April once I get home. I am leaning more on Radeon GPUs kasi mas mura sila. Used graphics cards are also included in my options. Salamat po in advance!

Processor: Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz (with Wraith Stealth Cooler) Bundle with Mobo......
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wifi (Bundle with CPU)................................. 13,500
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 570 8GB OC......................................................................... 10,000 (or GTX 1050ti? or Radeon RX580? Which is better?)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB 2400 MHz (x2)...................................................... 3,500
SSD: Western Digital Green 120GB SSD................................................................. 1,400
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB.................................................................... 2,200

Case: Rakk Kisig/Rakk Marug................................................................................ 1,500

comments:
yung bundle mo medyo mahal ata 2200g + b450 mobo 13500... kasi less than 6k lang cpu... tapos mobo mo lagpas 7k... hindi balanse in my opinion pero ok yan kung balak mo mag-upgrade to R5 2600x or the upcoming 3000 series
gpu: medyo mahal yan... parang ang baba na lang ata ng presyo ng rx570 ngayon sa ibang bansa... pero i wouldn't recommend a 1050ti kasi mas malakas ang rx570 dun... sa ngayon, i don't have any recommendation on this gpu... medyo di na ako updates sa local prices
ram: for ryzen, get at least a 2666mhz... 3000mhz is preferred... malaki pakinabang ni ryzen sa high ram speeds... lalo na kung balak mo mag-upgrade...

Thank you sa input sir. Yes sir balak ko mag upgrade in the next 2 years ng processor to Ryzen 3k series so okay lang naman po yan B450 Aorus no? Ang pinaka mura ko po kasi nakita na RX570 is yung MSI RX570 Armor 8GB OC which is priced at 9,950 php... Or should I go for the 4GB (7,300 php) instead of 8GB? As for the ram sir I will follow your advise. Maraming salamat!

[Ihsikats]

hello guys, pahingi naman ng opinion nyo.. ofw kasi ko tapos may balak ako lumipat ng bansa. Balak ko sana bumili ng computer, iniisip ko kung desktop o laptop? mid gamer ln ako saka mostly programming at watching ang ggawin ako. Sa desktop kasi mas mganda specs ang pwede ko makuha kung pricewise compared sa laptop. sa tingin nyo?

boss pwede na.ba tong deal niya dito??

 

[themonyo]

gtx1660 reviews are out
kung masusunod base price na $220... 11k lang dito sana sa atin...
maganda performance, mas malakas sa gtx1060 gb ng konti lalo na for the price

Sir, puwede pa ba sa i5 4440 yan 1660 o bottleneck na? Planning to upgrade to 1070 kasi. Someone here advised me na kaya pa ng procie ko 1070. Mahal pa kasi i7 4790 pang gpu lang budget eh.

May 1660 na sir sa pchub around 14-18k depende sa brand. 2nd hand 1070 11.5-13k sa tipidpc. Im having second thoughts kasi sir sa procie ko. Mas okay kasi brand new na 1660 konti lang kasi difference.

baka 1660ti yan? mahal masyado ng 18k... malapit na sa presyo ng rtx2060
14k pwede pa siguro

i f*king hate bottle neck questions
unless stupidly unbalanced ang cpu against your gpu, the performance loss is really negligible
kung locked 2nd gen i3/i5 ka, siguro panahon na para magpalit... 3rd gen... medyo ok pa... pero kung unlocked na i5/i7, hindi issue yan as long as you can push your cpu to more than 4ghz
4th gen is still ok... hindi naman ganun kalaki ang difference unless adik ka na naghahabol ng 200fps sa CS:GO
one final note, wala kwenta ang high end na gpu kung yung monitor mo ay 1080p~60hz lang

Hi sir, I am using the same processor of yours

processor: i5 4440 running on 3.10 up to 3.30GHz
GPU: Zotac Gaming RTX 2060 Dual Fan - 19,430 sa PCHub
RAM - 8GB

Okay na okay naman siya kaso sa mga games na bottleneck talaga siya like in Battlefield V where eh minsan nag bebelow ang FPS nya suddenly pero konting ayos lang sa settings just set your video settings to High Graphics tamang timpla lang ba haha normal na to sa prcessor naten kasi mababa lang si GHz hehe mag uupgrade din ako soon ng mobo and procie for the new generations ng mga processor like ryzen or intel

- - - Updated - - -

yeah true ito haha - mag uupgrade din ako ng Monitor dahil din sa gamit ko na 2060 hehe monitor

Pa-recommend naman ng RGB case fan mga sir, gamit ko kasi ngayon yung fans galing dun sa lumang case ko (Rakk Ounos), gusto ko sana yung mas malakas yung ilaw pati airflow saka RGB na din, yung hindi sana masyado mahal (around 2k+ budget), para lang mas kita yung loob ng case sa ngayon kasi sa harap lang maliwanag, case ko Rakk Huna II,

Ok sir thanks sa inputs haha. So puwede pa pala 4th gen. Naka 144hz naman na ako. Inuna ko monitor.

yeah true ito haha - mag uupgrade din ako ng Monitor dahil din sa gamit ko na 2060 hehe monitor

Magastos kasi sir magupgrade ng latest gen na procie daming papalitan kaya if ever magupgrade ako eh i7 4790 lang. thanks pala sir at least may idea ako na ok padin sa rtx 2060

- - - Updated - - -

By the way, 1660 ti pala yung prices na nakita ko sa pchub around 14k - 18k

 

[ChrolloLucifer07]

boss pwede na.ba tong deal niya dito??

up ko lang po ito kasi bibili ba po sana ako sa sunday

 

[themonyo]

up ko lang po ito kasi bibili ba po sana ako sa sunday

maganda yang combo mo ah market price lang... halos libre na yung case
kung may GPU ka na, try mo Intel Core i5-9400F
halos pareho lang presyo ng i5 8400 pero mas bago at mas mataas ang boost clock. wala nga lang built-in gpu yan.

 

[dark-man]

mga sir pa suggest naman ng build pang personal use lang, 20k budget with monitor, sa dynaquest kami bibili

intel at amd sana 2 choice para pwede mamili, maraming salamat

 

[Bikoh]

Intel Core i3 8100 / 3.60 GHz
➡Price: 15,899 ONLY !!! (DESKTOP PRICE)
●Proce: Intel Core i3 8100 / 3.4GHz
●Mobo: Emaxx/Gigabyte A320M-S2H
●RAM: 4GB 2400 DDR4
●Storage: 500GB HDD
●PSU: 700watts PSU
●Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 630
●Casing : Standard Casing

Gusto ko talaga ng 4th + kase na aastigan ako at sa tingin ko mabilis naman ang rendering nito.
whats the diff between ba from i3, i5 and i7 on the same generation?

 

[shinobi senshi]

Hello po mga Boss,

Patulong sana ako mag build ng PC, budget po 20k po (CPU lang po) mag order lang po siguro ako online kung san po mas mura mas okay po

pang graphic designing po
heavy rending ng images po (billboard sign, banner, tarpaulin etc.)

Note: (di po ako nag vvideo editing)

ung video card po sana kahit pang samantala po muna habang mag ipon ng mas maganda, kung possible 16gig po tska upgradable sa future ung CPU

sana makarinig ako feedback sainyo..

need asap.. Thank you po

Sa budget mo na 20k, mukhang kukulangin yan based sa requirement mo. Pero sa kung i-eextend mo pa ang budget mo from 20k to 25k, okay na yung build na ganito.

View attachment 362947

Pwede din ito

View attachment 362946

Kahit hindi ka na muna mag-add ng dedicated GPU sa parehong build. Okay naman kahit iGPU ka muna, at para na din sa dedicated GPU na lang yung focus mo sa upgrade at ipon. I-consider mo din pala ang pag-lalagay ng SSD. Wala nga palang case / chassis parehas, pero meron naman around 1k pesos na maganda na (check mo yung rakk na brand). Pwede mo din i-consider ang second hand units / parts.
