[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.

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose/upgrade your Computer

Price drop lang siguro pero not much of a change sa build. Kaya naman ng Antec VP450 yan without any problem pero you might want more headroom.

ASRock H61M/U3S3 may USB 3.0, good mobo kung wala kang plano mag upgrade for the next 2-3 years lalo na kung by that time saturated na ang USB 3.0 ready ka na agad.

oh ic, i think i would still stick to getting the u3s3 then. thanks

what do you mean by more headroom? lets say if i'm to install 5-6 fans and upgrade the vcard lets say to a 7850. since 7750 has a very low power consumption, can the vp450 carry that much load after this upgrade? aside from the vp450, what else would be an upgrade for the psu?

salamat sa reply sir, just want to assure a future proof rig para hnde hassle sa pag uupgrade.

That would draw around 330W, kaya pa naman ng Antec VP450. Headroom lang for any other upgrades in the future.

Meron nyan lahat sa PC Hub & Foxcom since halos parehas lang ang benta nila. PC Express might not have some of the parts.

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose/upgrade your Computer

- You don't need an i7-3770K dahil waste of money yan kung gaming use lang. Add what you can save for a better GPU.
- You don't need the Z77 Sabertooth.
- HD 7850 is better and more power efficient kesa sa GTX 560 Ti but I think if we balance things out sa build mo baka mas magandang GPU makuha mo.
- You could use a more robust PSU dahil ang alam ko talaga maganda sa Cooler Master ay yung Silent Pro series lang. I'd recommend Corsair, Seasonic, & Antec. You also don't need a 750W although wala naman masama kung sosobrahin kung may plano sa future mag multi GPU.
- Sa monitor naman, sayang yung 560 Ti kung sa 1366x768 18.5" mo lang gagamitin. HD 6670 / HD 6770 ay maxed out na on most games sa resolution na yan and that costs around 3.6k & 5k respectively. Opt for 1920x1080 resolution, at least 21.5" monitor para masulit mo yung GPU.




Magkano budget mo?

TOTAL: PHP 29130.00



Rig lang to or with monitor?

sir, muka ngang mapapamahal and masasayang un kung gaming lang un.

pwede mo ba ako gawa ng list ng magandang specs for gaming boss? ung tipong recommended settings ung maiaaply ko sa mga games and kaya niya yung mga bagong high res games ngayon? and also, for programming purposes na din hehe basta sir yung best na specs na mabibigay mo. 40k budget.

Re: [ADVISE]Help you build/choose/upgrade your Computer

Sir kung isasagad ko na pong 20k ang budget ko po?
Kung magdadagdag po ako ng videocard na maganda.salamat po

I hope mag settle ka na sa budget mo dahil 4 times ka nag pa build. From 15k, then 17k, and now 20k naman. No ODD tapos with GPU then without GPU naman. And again with GPU ulit. Make up your mind first and finalize your budget so you don't have to ask over and over again.

pa help po

budget: 15k
usage: for gaming and video editing

can play high end games. like nba2k12 at max setting

cpu lang po

Sir ang budget ko din po pang gaming e 17k. tamang tama po ba samin yung ganyang build?salamat po kahit wala na pong dvdrom

balak ko po sana dati e ung amd phenome ii x4 960t iuunlock ko po 6 cores. anu po sa palagay nyo?salamat po

Sir pa build po ako

budget: 15-17k
