[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.

boss ano mas worth it bilhin? malaki ba difference nila sa performance. may existing na ako palit gtx1050 ti 4gb and monitor ko. aoc 15.6" lang for now pero plan ko din magupgrade pero baka matagal pa. medyo malaki price diff nilang 2. kaya paadvise naman kung ano mas ok sa 2.

Ok na yung first option sir. palitan nyo lang yung ram to 3000mhz or 3200mhz kasi ryzen procie yan and ryzen processors are known to perform better with high speed rams. so the higher the ram speed, the better. Also, you might want to switch psus and go for the seasonic m12ii 600w. I haven't heard anything bad naman about deepcool psus but seasonic kasi ang kilala na reliable.

in terms of performance, almost the same lang yan. lamang lang ng konti yung mortar titanium sa features and aesthetics.

Salamat sir mukhang ihohold ko nalang muna yung 1030, 750ti sana kukunin ko kaso phased out na sa mga stores.. tama sir pag may budget na rekta 1050ti nlang

I think I have a spare 1030 here but I am not sure how much is your budget. I typically sell my used components at 60% the original price.

 

[themonyo]

sa mga gamers dyan, gumagana sa linux ang dota2 at cs:go
at base sa napanood kong guide, most games already have linux ports
meron na rin workaround kung hindi directly supported.

i'm using Manjaro KDE distro which directly supports Nvidia drivers sa Ubuntu, di ko napagana install yung nvidia drivers.. mali ata nasundan kong guide
AMD gpu's have no problem sa linux kasi opensource talaga drivers nila

halos lahat naman ng kelangan at gusto nyo gawin sa linux, pwede mahanap using google. tapos copy-paste lang sa terminal

give it a try minsan at baka matuwa kayo

edit: most linux distros have a LiveCD version na pwede subukan muna yung OS without installation sa HDD.

 

[paicruz]

pwede rin naman kung 1030. i found a benchmark video in youtube on the carrizo A8-7680 + igpu running apex legends.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9-My0wpBe8

Low settings lang lahat at 1280x720p reso, mukhang playable naman. If you pair the A8-7680 with the 1030 there will be a slight improvement in performance pero IMO, baka hindi naman ganun kalaki, so baka hindi rin worth it? Baka mas ok pa to just stick to the igpu for now and then pag may konting budget na, upgrade to a 1050ti.

I just checked the dimensions for both the 2070 gaming z and the cougar qbx. Maximum graphics card length is 350mm for the Cougar QBX. Length ng MSI gtx 2070 gaming z is 295mm... so it should fit.

salamat ng marami sir sa confirmation,

may nakita po kasi ako sa isang post from another country na ung msi gtx 1070 nya is hindin nagfit in terms of width, prang kailangan pa daw na idremel ung case para maipasok ung gpu. considering na sana mas maliit ung width ng msi rtx 2070 compared sa msi gtx 1070.

thanks ulit sir

 

[WinterBlade]

^

welcome po.

dimensions ng cougar qbx is 384 length x 178 width x 291 height (mm)

rtx 2070 gaming z dimensions are 295 length x 140 width x 56 height (mm)

Also, I checked pcpartspicker for a list of compatible video cards sa qbx mini itx case, and the rtx 2070 gaming z 8gb is included in it. So... dapat magkasya. hehehe

Pa-advise po mga paps...please bear with me kc di po ako well-versed sa technical aspect ng computer.

E2 po details and specs ng laptop ko:

HP Pavilion DV3-2108tu
Windows 7 Ultimate
Service Pack 1
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700 @2.53GHz 2.53 GHz
RAM: 1.00 GB
32-bit Operating System

Drives: Partitioned
C: 55.4 free of 97 GB
D: 82.8 free of 200 GB

Medyo luma na po cia pero working nman. Na-fry lng po dati ung isang memory module kya tinanggal so naging 1GB RAM n lng cia. Gusto ko sna dagdagan RAM. Nsa manual nman po na pwede i-replace ung memory module pro hirap ako mkahanap kc DDR2 cia.

Tanong ko po:
1. Pwede ko po b dagdagan ung RAM at my mbibili pb ako DDR2 memory module pandagdag sa RAM ko?
2. Bukod sa RAM, my effect po ba ung hard drives sa performance ng PC ko? Do I need to free more space sa drives?
3. Dinis-able ko po automatic updates ng Windows kc di genuine OS ko ginamitan ko lng po ng (ung parang key generator pang-activate). My effect din po ba ung updates?

Salamat po sa sasagot. Much appreciated.

PS: Di po ako gamer. Online freelancing po gnagawa ko. GENERALS lng po ang nilalaro d2 ng mister ko paminsan-minsan.

* for both builds, you can change the gpu to a 2060 pero mag-o-over na ng konti sa 50k, though pwede rin naman.

 

[themonyo]

^wala pang monitor yang build mo
kasama na gusto nya

 

[azraeL666]

salamat sir. kasya po ba yan kapag yung tecware quad ang case na bibilihin? o may marecommend kayo na mas maganda na cube case?

 

[esrom02]

Hi, ako ulit! Nagpost na ko dati, nag upgrade ng GPU, salamat ulit!

Ngayon upgrade ko naman yung CPU ko and other things pero retain ko ang GPU. Ayoko lang mabottle neck sa GPU kaya patulong po!

GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 1050

GPU LANG PO ANG RETAIN, THE REST PALIT PO.. (PASA KO DIN KASI SA ASAWA KO HEHE)

Pa suggest naman po ako ng set-up na iikot diyan sa GPU na yan. Prefer ko po iCore (quad-core), 16GB RAM, MOBO na may USB 3.0 ports na and kayo na po bahala sa iba. More on office works but medyo gamer din. Max budget is 25K. Kung sobra ng konti sige lang, pero mas okay po kung mas mababa.

Sensya kung medyo vague.. Salamat po.

ndi ko trip ang build nato dhil mas mganda kung i5 6-Cores/ 6-Threads

pero yan ang gusto mo build eh..

Mga master! Pwede po ba makahingi ng AMD Ryzen equivalent nito? Yung i5 6 core..

Nabawasan budget, nanganak si misis Hehe.. Baka sakaling makatipid pag AMD..

Salamat po!

Salamat po!

ilan ba nabawas sa budget mo.. hehe
i-save mo na lang Pera mo dahil may lalabas na bago AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation series Processors

 

[themonyo]

^mga July pa ata yun
atsaka baka X570 mobo pa lang ilalabas nila... wala pa akong naririnig na balita sa B550 chipset

5k na lang natira eh wahahaha! Ahhh kung mas okay yun sige hintay muna ako at ipon salamat po!

Ay ang intindi ko po meron na syang monitor, 1080p kaya there's no need. paki-clarify na lang po @sir azrael666

salamat sir. kasya po ba yan kapag yung tecware quad ang case na bibilihin? o may marecommend kayo na mas maganda na cube case?

Mukhang kasya naman po sa tecware quad. Here are the dimensions:


Tecware Quad dimensions: L 360 x W 270 x H 335 mm
300mm - max gpu card length
180mm - max cooler height
160mm - max psu length

gigabyte 1660ti windforce OC: L 264.9 x W 120.58 x H 40.41 mm
Deepcool Gammaxx 400 white: L 135 x W 80 x H 154.5 mm
FSP Raider II 650w - L 150 × L 140 × H 86 mm

Ok na naman po ang tecware quad, it's a good quality case for its price. Personally, I prefer the Inwin A1 or the corsair carbide air 240 pero both are in the expensive end na eh. So I'd only recommend both if you have extra cash to spare.

 

[themonyo]

Hhhmmm... Now that i've read it again, meron na raw sya monitor... Akala ko kelangan kasama monitor aa 50k
May nakita pala akong 27" 1440p 144hz na monitor sa lazada +10k lang hanapin nyo bezel na brand

wala

besides, locked naman ang multiplier ng cpu mo... hindi naman mag-overheat yan. kung stock cooler lang gamit mo, there are CPU coolers na less than 2k pero delivers solid performance both cooling and acoustics.
