Im going to buy a brand new PC

[Blackraven]

Blackraven: yes, meron nang Quad Core dito sir.

Oh goody.

If so, how much does it sell here? And btw, meron ba kayong Core 2 Quad (Q6600 na 2.4 ghz)?

Bankai: if you're gonna setup a good PC, NEVER ever use generic PSUs. stick to good ones like HEC 550AB. It's cheap, only 3k+ but gets the job done. 3yrs warranty too. [/QUOTE]

I kinda agree.

If you want the best, get either Enermax or Thermaltake. Cooler Master is not that bad as well.

[tambutsoo]

At 42K plus may complete PC set ka na. May pc shop warranty naman yan sa PC Gilmore kapag nasira RMA kaagad. pwede mo man e add ang HEC 550 watts nasa 45K na ang total. depende lang po sa budget .compute din po kayo sa 50 K dream pc ninyo share with us :-) kaysa sige comment lang dyan be productive naman dyan beh

All of this is for less than 50k pesos?Hmm....

Considering na:
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4 Ghz) = 15k (Intel Philippines)
-Intel i965 chipset-based mobo = 5k-10k
-Geforce 7 (7800GTX) = 20k
-HDDs mentioned = 10k+++

Lampas na to sa 50k mark. So.........yung specs na sinabi mo would cost you past the 70k mark.

So which is it really? Are you offering major discounts (kasi 50k can't get you those kinds of PC components)??

[Horsepower]

4GB? Medyo overkill na yan.

Team RAMs offer good performance na 1GB DDR2-800 is only 3k+ (last time i checked in Gilmore area). A pair of these is ok na.

Logitech z5300e is lame. Lacks bass and midrange but it's loud and AFAIK, phased out na ito.

I used to have the Logitech z5500 Digital mas ok yun. I sold mine kasi lagpas na ng 1year. I will get one again because it's the best bang for the buck.

Gigabyte 965P is okay but quite pricey, nasa 14k++ yan. Foxconns are cheap but good din.

E6600 is the best choice but quite expensive at the moment, Intel price cuts will bring this to 150 dollars only (about 7,500).

Samsung HDs??? An HD brand that keeps on dying (7 Samsung HDs died on me before their 1st year). Pag HD either WD Enterprise edition or Seagate/Maxtor lang. 5yrs warranty pa. And yes, you can claim the 5yr warranty locally.

you can OC a 7900GT to match 7800GTX so it's kinda pointless to get 78GTX. 88GTX or 7950GTX pa siguro.

Plextor 716SA, mapili sa media yan. Better look for Pioneer 212SA or Plextor 755SA / 760A or 800A

No need for HEC 750W unless you're going to slap a LOT of harddisks or going SLI.

sorry po sobra nga 50K. pero yan po ang gamit ko since OCT 2006 and other parts 2004 pa no regret po.


Mabuti pa mag set up kayo ng 50K complete PC sa galing ninyo dapat meron na kayo na ibigay na idea.

Are you sure it's not a sound driver issue? I have the Z-2300 which is the 2.1 version. It's got enough bass to rattle the windows of my den when hooked up to an Audigy 2 Value under XP.

Under Vista RC1, it's a bit tinny-sounding because of the sucky Creative driver. But using the Realtek sound brought back the oomph.

Midrange is so-so. But, it's adequate enough for mp3-listening and much more than enough for game-playing.

[mikmik316]

one reason its sensible to just buy a PS3 or XBOX 360 + a decent PC... gaming can be quite expensive... now if the user does a lot of encoding, decoding, transcoding, then sensible talaga mag Core 2 Duo...

Marami sa mga users, they can't even maximize the full potential of their PCs... so it's funny that people above talk like "mine is bigger than yours"

(Team RAMs offer good performance na 1GB DDR2-800 is only 3k+ (last time i checked in Gilmore area). A pair of these is ok na.)
DDR2-667 (or DDR2-800) RAMS (2GB is good enough) - P 7000

SATA2 HDs - 3500 to 3800

DVDRW drive - P 1800
550W HEC PSU - P 3800
19" Widescreen LCD - 19" Samsung 940BW Widescreen Black - P 10100
7900GT videocard and up (you can upgrade to 8800 series later). 12 to 14K


EH Lampas na po din ng 50000 thousand pesos at ang dami pang kulang HA???????

parang OT na posts mo pre. naghahanap ng cheapest pc performance wise yung thread starter. i know those two dont always go hand in hand pero top of the line naman yung mga pino-post mo.

or you're just trying to show off your rig?

[Jun aka Pekto]

help me naman guys, clone lang naman ang gus2 ko e, how much ang pinakamurang PC ngayun? can you list down the parts/brand and price for this, im after the performance, tnx

Let's do this the old-fashioned way.....

What's your no-nonsense, "absolutely will not go over" budget for a new pc?

And also, do you have any existing components you're willing to reuse such as a monitor or cd/dvd burner?

[bankai]

guys, guys, hold on lang . . .

thanks for the inputs, il try to list all your specs, ang price range lang n kaya ko is 25k-30k, im really not into serious gaming, tamang gaming lang, as long na walang HANG or LAG

*tambutsoo

il less the LCD monitor, the 2x kingston 1GB, the altec lansing speakers

mura lang pala ang 200GB nho, siguro il go for 80GB na lang muna, but il get the 1GB DDR2

requirements ba ng core2 duo yung 2x 1GB DDR2?

*horsepower

whats the nega feedback on generic PSUs?

[Jun aka Pekto]

P30k........ Ok. Now everyone can go wild speccing systems within that price range.

[boybi]

whats the nega feedback on generic PSUs?

Generic PSUs are over rated. Kapag nakalagay 350W, baka mga 275W lang kaya nyan.

[Horsepower]

Jun: z2300 is a different series. It's one of the best sounding 2.1 speakers ever. z5300e is an attempt to make cheap HTIB and it is (about 6k during its time) much like the creative inspire 5.1. Logitech z5500 is the flagship model though quite disappointing since it's 7.1 age already. Cambridge Gigaworks S750 (700W 7.1) is good but it's too expensive for what it offers that I'd rather get an entry level HT like Harman Kardon + JBL / Infinity speakers.


Bankai: remember, with computers, sometimes, scrimping will make you spend more.

For example, generic PSUs ratings are NOT real (obviously, that's the reason why they're cheap). often, it's not even a quarter of it. So don't be surprised if your generic 500w PSU blows up after adding your 3rd harddisk or after a transient surge. A PSU blowup is often not really that a big deal. It is if it destroys your motherboard or the board of your HD along with it. Sometimes, RAMs and videocards too. Now imagine you have nice parts and the generic PSU blows up. Kainis diba?

You might also wanna invest on a UPS in the future.

Ok. I assumed the z5300e was the 5.1 equivalent of the z2300. I mean the z2300 had also been criticized for seemingly weak mids. But, using software equalizers seemed to help.

You're right. There is a difference....

you can still adjust specs from here like proc speed but the board should remain the same so you can easily upgrade to the latest Intel proc.

[BoEinG_747]

generic din ang power supply ko .pero may AVR naman ako
.pwede na cguro iyon di ba ?

[Horsepower]

Depende sa AVR bro, kung servo-motor type, medyo protected ka. Kung yung sinaunang AVR na pagkabigat bigat (kasi ang laki ng transformer) ok yan.

Yung binebenta currently sa stores na "AVR" daw for 300-500 pesos walang kwenta yon. It's practically just an overpriced power strip. Walanghiya gumawa nun ang lakas manloko. hehhee.

Kung lagpas one year na yan and ok pa, either magandang klase yung nakuha mo bro na generic PSU or konti lang ang nilagay mong devices kaya di pa sya bumibigay.

getting a branded PSU (which has a true rating, proven design and passed several stages of quality control) will give you peace of mind. 3,700 lang naman for a 550W im sure kayang kaya mo yon, ikaw pa. hehehe

I chose HEC 550AB kasi may active PFC, power factor correction, and autovolt, 100-240v yun.

Siempre, may mas maganda pa dun, pero sya yung bang for the back ika nga.

1. Intel G965RY - ito ba yung motherboard?
2. Intel630 - ito ba yung processor nya?

sorry talaga sa mga questions, ive been out of this new computer components, last na mga alam ko is pentium4 lang, yung mga mas bago pa dito wala na talaga ako alam
