[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

tanong ko lang kung anong mas maganda Dual Channel or Quad Channel RAM kasi balak ko mag upgrade ng motherboard ung current ko ngayon dual channel lang..

Maganda saan?

pero nakakita ako ng Mobo sa PC Express na swak sa system ko balak ko sana bilihin kasi 4 ang RAM slot.. ayos lang ba ito..

Kung kailangan mo talaga ng 4 DIMMs edi go.

balak ko rin kasing gawin 16Gigs of RAM ung RIG ko eh kaya Bale 4x4 ang mang yayari sa Build ko.. salamat sa advice..

Aanhin mo yung 16GB na ram sa i3 na processor at HD 5570 na GPU?

Current System Unit

Mobo - Asus P8H61 MLX3 Plus
CPU - Intel Core i3 2120 3.3Ghz Sandy Bridge
RAM - 4gigs G.Skill Ripjaws X 1333 2x2
VC - Power Color HD5570 1Gb

Hindi ko alam kung ano balak mo paps pero isipin mo kung may paggagamitan ka sa 16GB na yan

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

Boss Power User kasi ako Pang Video Rendering at 3D pero pinag iisipan ko rin kung pwede na ang 8Gigs.. Ung 5570 Papalitan ko rin yan ng 7770 pag nagkabudget..

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

help nmn pede..
compatible b ung motherboard na
"emx ig41d3" sa proccesor na
"pentium d 828 sl8cp"? kc nde sya
gumagana nag oopen sya pero
black lng ung screen.. salamat..

 

[sayonara123]

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

Nope, mag stand out lang yung low end GPU mo hehe. Make sure to update the BIOS of the mobo bago ka mag IB na i5.



Pwede.



Hanap ka lang ng ibang brand na B75 chipset na mobo at HD 7750 na GPU. GTX 650 can work as well.



15k@ PC Express

CPU: Intel Pentium G840 2.8 GHz PHP 3020.00
MOBO: ASRock H61M-VS PHP 2170.00
RAM: Kingston 4GB 1x4 DDR3 1333 CL9 PHP 850.00
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA3 PHP 2700.00
PSU: Gigabyte PowerRock 500W PHP 1800.00
ATX: EMAXX Rebel PHP 1430.00
GPU: PowerColor HD 6670 1GB DDR3 PHP 3070.00

TOTAL: PHP 15040.00



Hanapin mo to:

Seasonic M12II 520W 80+ Bronze nasa 3k range



Hehe mahirap naman yung may tanong ako tapos tanong din isasagot mo. Pakisagot yung naunang tanong ko at pakbigay ang budget.



If you can afford the FSP yun nalang kunin mo. Cheaper alternative lang naman yung Corsair.



20" with resolution 1600x900



Tingnan mo mabuti yung post nya. Mas mura pa yung nandun kesa sa pinost mo partida brand new
