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.

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.

Magkano budget mo?
Ilan resolution at refresh rate ng monitor mo?
Anong mga nilalaro mo?

sa ngayon apex legends at R6 pati rin mga AAA Games at gamit ko na monitor specter pro 24inc 60hz

sa ngayon apex legends at R6 pati rin mga AAA Games at gamit ko na monitor specter pro 24inc 60hz

since di mo pa rin sinabi budget mo, heto choices:

1: 2nd hand rx 470/570 (8gb) ~ less than 5k
2: 2nd hand rx 480/580 (4 or 8gb) ~ 5-7k
3: 2nd hand gtx 1070 ~ around 10k
4: 2nd hand gtx 1060 6gb ~ don't pay more than 9k
5: brand new ~ 1660, 1660ti, 2060

i can't really recommend going anything higher since 60hz lang naman monitor mo... di rin magagamit ng husto yung 1070... but all of these GPU's are still quite capable.

may nakita na sale asus gtx1050ti 4gb = 6850 at asus strix rx570 4gb = 8000 sulit po kaya. kung upgrade ako ng pc. eto yung specs ng current pc ko amd phenom II x2, 4gb ddr2 ram. defective na yung 2 slots ng motherboard ko. na test ko sa iba 4gb ram ko okey naman. thanks

sa specs ng pc mo sulit na yan, since di kailangan ng 6pin yung 1050ti,
if ok sayo 2nd hand na gpu mas sulit yun, check mo yung reply ni sir themonyo, ganyan ka mura mga 2nd na rx570 now, madami sa gilmore nag bebenta nyan may store warranty pa yun para ma test mo

Hello mga master

ok lang po ba etong build

PROCESSOR: RYZEN 5 2600 SIX CORE 12 THREADS
MOTHERBOARD: MSI A320M PRO-E
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2666mhz HYPERX
SSD : 128GB SSD RAMSTA
GPU: GTX 1050ti 4GB 128BIT GDDR5 (2nd hand)
CASE: FANTECH CG3318B GAMING CASE
PSU: 700w BOSTON GENERIC

Price: 18, 500


ung Ryzen 5 3400g sana ung pipiliin ko po nung una kaso mas ok daw po ung Ryzen 5 2600? should i go for Ryzen 5 3400g instead?

gagamitin ko po for photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc and maybe basic video editing in the future. since hindi po ako gamer pero try ko po siguro gamitin sa pubg, gta etc pang budget workstation din po sana.


pa advice po ng pc build kung ok na po ba eto

tska hingi po sana ng advice kung ok lang po ba bumili ng 2nd hand na true rated PSU 450w korean brand kaysa sa brandnew na generic boston 700w? kung sa 2nd hand PSU ako bibili makakaless po ako ng 200 tska true rated po kasi..

nabasa ko po kasi as much as possible mag true rated PSU po kaysa sa generic?

tapos ung GPU po ung offer nila is brandnew na "RX 550 4GB" so bale total price magiging 20k, pero may offer din sila na 2nd hand na GPU na GtX 1050ti with 3 months warranty kaya naka less po ako ng 1.5k kaya naging total price is 18,500...

limited lang din po kasi budget ko po hangang 20k po. kaya ung sobra baka bilhin ko po ng monitor po kahit 19 inch

TIA

dahil may PM ka, masyadong restricted budget mo kaya di ako makasagot
heto comments ko:
cpu: 2600 and 3400g uses the same zen+ architecture. hindi pa zen2 ang 3400g kaya hindi sya singbilis at sing-responsive ng the rest of the ryzen 3000 series. yung use case mo kasi na karamihan adobe apps, mas makikinabang ka sa intel dahil mas optimized sila dun. pero things might change within the few months and we might be expecting adobe updates for ryzen optimization. kung trabaho talaga primary use mo, the 2600 is a much better processor dahil sa extra 2 cores and 4 threads. ang advantage naman ng 3400g ay pwedeng i-upgrade mo yung motherboard mo to a b450 or baka abutan mo yung b550 na lalabas maybe between october~november.
mobo: i do not really recommend using an a320 mobo dahil sobrang limited ng features nya at sakal ang processor mo. limited ang ram slot, usb expansion, m.2 slot, sata ports, no overclocking, and other things... get a b350/b450 or b550 as much as possible...
ram: mababa lang presyo ram ngayon... baka makahanap ka ng 3000mhz with the same price.
psu: wala akong experience sa 2nd hand na korean true rated psu, though magaganda mga nababasa kong feedback from them I still can't recommend them dahil you are risking damaging your entire computer when a PSU does fail. pinakamababa kong mai-rerecommend na PSU is an EVGA 450bv... around 2100 ata sa pchub. kung gusto mong patusin ang generic 700w psu, make sure na palitan mo yan within 3~6 months ng true rated...
gpu: hanap ka 2nd hand na radeon rx 470/570 for less than 5k or 480/580 between 5-7k

ang problema na lang ngayon ay kung paano magkakasya sa 20k yan kaya di ako makasagot

Salamat po

aorus theme yan ah
kung intel build balak mo, palitan mo lang mobo at cpu... pwede mo rin ibaba yung nvme ssd since walang gen4 support yung z390 mobo... you'll lose around 1 gbps r/w speeds lang naman but it will still work
cpu: core i9 9900k = 25,900
mobo: gigabyte z390 aorus elite = 11300
z390 aorus xtreme = 29000

note: abang abang sa price drop... balita ko nagbaba na ng presyo si intel... di ko lang alam kung kelan sa atin bababa

Gandang araw po.. Balak ko po mag buo ng pisonet unit budget is 6k lang po Ang budget pero kaya po sana maglaro ng point blank, lol, at ilang mga pang bata na laro, roblox at iba pang pang bata.. Saka saan po kaya sa gilmore pinaka advisable bumili.. Salamat po sa inyong tugon..

baba masyado brod... tanong ka na lang kay easypc or other retailers para sa ganyang package nila para sa mga pisonet
you can also check their website pero mas maganda tumawag at baka di na updated yung mga nakapost na packages

 

[zetzer2]

[gbaddic]

Patulong mga boss, ask lang po ako ng magandang pc build for work at home purpose, pang upwork at ESL online teacher po. consider ko rin mag aral ng video editing at photoshop. budget ko po 10-15k sana.. kung meron din kayo marecommend headset/camera pang video calling, at printer naman para sa assignment ng mga kids. pa quote po ng prize at kung san ko sya pwedeng mabili. salamat po sa tutulong.

 

[badz87]

Natapos ko na po ang first ownbuilt day c ko na rx 3600, msi b450 pro nashort sa budget instead of 5700 naging rx 590 lang. anyway, nag post na po siya kaso na stuck ako sa installing OS using usb.no driver found po ang nakalagay nung magseselect na kung san ilalagay ang os. Di niya po maread and intel m.2 ssd na nilagay ko. Binaklas ko na, nagdownload na ako ng driver ng intel ssd yung rapis storage driver, at nag UEFI na ako sa bios instead of EMC. Help po thanks!!

 

[Ajiejot]

Mga boss pa advice ako mGandang setup for mobile programming/web development (android studio).
Budget: Php 20,000 for system unit lang po tapos pasabi po ano mga magandang parts na ok lng kht second hand at kung ano dapat ang brand new.

Thanks in advance.

 

[taguro009]

ask ko lng kung sa tingin nyo matibay at mas mababa ang konsumo ng rx 580 OEM kesa sa branded na rx 580, nkita ko lng kasi sa lazada mura yon rx 580 OEM

Ito personal build ko kung 20k. System unit lang. Di ko din sure yung price.

Processor: Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G
Motherboard: A320 kung tight budget talaga. B450 kung kaya.
Ram: At least 8GB sana. Pero I highly suggest na mag 16GB (2x 8gb) ka @ 3000Mhz. Mga gagawin mo kasi tingin ko mataas ram usage. Android studio na lang. Tapos kung sa PC mo pa ikaw mag eemulate nung dinedevelop mo na mobile app. Tapos sa web dev din. Imposibleng di ka gagamit ng image / photo editing software gaya ng photoshop. Maganda na yung malaki yung allowance / headroom mo pag-dating sa ram. Based sa personal experience ko pala 'to.
SSD: At least 240GB. Mura na lang din kasi.
HDD: Depende na kung anong capacity gusto mo. Pero maganda na 1TB na din kung kasya pa. Konti din lang naman price difference.
GPU: IMO, kahit wag na muna since naka APU processor ka naman. Tho pwedeng-pwede mo naman lagyan ng dedicated GPU in the future itong build na 'to.
PSU: Kahit na anong kilalang brand. 500W and up. At least bronze rating.
Case / Chassis: Depende na sayo 'to. May magagandang case na around 1.5k - 2k.

Again, di ko sure kung papasok sa 20k yan.

Hindi ba pangit ang AMD sa mobile developments? Like web developments/more on programming?
Kasi halos ibang developer, puro intel sila eh. Baka may alam kang setup na intel, kahit i5 lang.
