[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

need a gaming CPU. budget is 20k. preferrably processor is intel core i3 and heavy duty parts (baka may specific brand na matibay kasi sometimes i play for more than 10 hours). im planning to buy sa pc gilmore. hindi na ata updated price sa website nila. if meron din suggestion na other store na mura please go ahead and suggest.

tanong ko lng din if nagiinstall pa sa pc gilmore ng windows 7 64 bit? meron kasi ako original cd key pero wala na CD.

Ok yan for gaming on a low resolution. Kung kaya pa ng budget yung 2nd gen APU na A10-5800K or A10-5700 mas maganda yun.

another thing pa idol. ung gigabyte and g skill ba talaga maganda kasama ng intel core i3? how about asus mobo and kingston hyperx?

Hehe sa nakikita ko brand specific ka sa gusto mo. Sa totoo lang any brand of ram will do dahil lahat yan may lifetime warranty. Sa mobo naman kung sa brand ka lang titingin mahirap yan. Tingnan mo yung presyo at features na makukuha mo.

kuya janz
tanong lng po before ako buy ng vc next year

ano po maganda
sapphire hd 7850 2gb/256 bit o gtx 660 ti ?

Kung next year ka pa bibili wag mo muna problemahin yan. Magiiba pa presyo nyan.

thanks..

Pag nag palit ka ng cpu pati ram at mobo papalitan mo.

upgrade ko po PCI-e VC ko. Yung kaya patakbuhin Just Cause 2, GTA 4, atsaka Source games kahit medium setting and resolution lang around 30-60 fps. Maximum budget 6k sa gilmore.

Thanks.

Try mo yung GTX 650 Ti kung gusto mo sagarin yung budget.

Yung DDR3 slot pwede mo gamitin, hindi sabay kasama yung DDR2 na RAM.

2k-3k budget ko dun, kung yung budget ko ay kaya ang 2gb na videocard, dun tayo lalagay pero dapat maganda din specs.

tsaka nga po pala yung ram, any advise on upgradin it?

Sa ganyang use hindi ko marerecommend na bumili ka ng laptop. Mabibitin ka lang sa performance nyan sa 30k budget mo, iinit lang yan hehe.

HD 6570 kung yang dalawa lang pagpipilian

Dagdag ram kailangan mo dyan pero kung upgrade ang gusto mo talaga bagong cpu, mobo, at ram dapat.

Di ka marunong pumili ng video card hehe. Di lahat nadadaan sa memory ng video card kahit 2GB pa yan pero low reso naman wala rin use

Anyway, para sa budget mo na 3k tingnan mo tong dalawa:
- PowerColor HD 6670 1GB DDR3
- Palit GT 630 1GB DDR5

Kahit ano sa dalawa, halos parehas lang ang performance nagkakatalo nalang sa laro.
