Topic: Buying a new gaming desktop but I need some help!

[speedbluestar]

Guys may mga ibibigay ako sa inyo na mga choices ko tapos reviewhin nyo na lang po kung okay or kung may maganda pa kayo massuggest. Gusto ko lang po makapaglaro ng mga high end games like COD, battlefield etc. Budget ko po is $1k-1500 (max) Eto po sila:

1. Alienware

Tataas pa ata yung price nya kapag nacustomize. Nagcusto ako at inabot ng $1500-1700.

2. Eto po yung sa amazon, wala pa ata kasama monitor:

yun nga problem ko bro eh wala ako alam pagdating sa pag bili ng mga parts. hahaha kaya custom made desktop na balak ko bilhin. Pero after a month pa naman so kung me magtuturo pa sakin baka magbago pa isip ko. Hehe

[badw33d]

KUng gusto mo mag custom PC, kahit sa shops matutulungan ka nila. since gaming ito ang recommended ko:

1. Ram = 16GB (get the fastest clock available) (Crucial)
2. Hard disk = 1x SSD 256~512 GB, 1x 1TB mec (Crucial)
3. Mother Board = whatever that is compatible with the specs in the list, make sure to have USB 3.0 all over. Before I would need a GIGABYTE brand or ASUS.
4. Video Card = check on AMD Radeon, 2~4x HDMi output is at best
5. Power supply - get the best like 750~1.5k watts
6. case - errrrr anything will do
7. Processor = get the latest core i7

Monitor - get Dell24 or dell 27 inch

But this list will need dough and lots of it.

[speedbluestar]

how much do you think it will all cost?

[wendle]

bro build ka nalang mas okay pa , pag set ang binuo mo eh rip off

[kenji_kulet]

how much do you think it will all cost?

  your willing to break $1,500 pero let's keep you in budget bro you didn't need to break that much money

let's go with newegg although amazon is good pero kelangan tignan mo kung "fulfill with amazon" yung bibilin mo or may stock ang amazon

btw what state are you in? delivery may vary on what state your into

and are you looking for crossfire GPU?

[kenji_kulet]

Corsair Carbide 200R -good deal for a bang for a buck cable management case , slots fitted for SSD and HHD, enough room for your 7870 GPU + you got a $10 mail in rebate! it means you will receive a $10 credit card that you can use to buy stuff or gas your car

- in the future if you wanted to put a cooling rad there's a dual 140MM fan space at the top fit for a H100i water cooling radiator

- dual 120-140mm Fan on the side case

MSI Z77A-G45 - good for dual crossfire GPU if your looking forward to it

-and it is capable to 4×240pin DDR3 2667*(OC)/ 2400*(OC)/ 2133*(OC)/ 1866*(OC)/1600/ 1333/ 1066 if you wanted to put much higher memory

-plus it has a free crucial 1600Mhz which you can sell on craigslist for 60 more buck

Samsung 120GB SSD - main purpose is for your windows 8 Operating system only and other needed program such as GPU , DirectX11 etc

ASUS HD 7870 - good deal saves you a lot of money for games like ( Tomb raider , Crysis 3 , Farcry , bioshock ) saves you $160 tax free + $20 mail rebate credit card since you only wanted to play Bf3

  tapos add mo ako sa battlefield 3 pag ok na pc mo

i didn't include gaming keyboard , mouse and headset because i only use standard one and i didn't know what kind of mouse keyboard that you wanted but cheap keyboard and mice are not that too much pain in the a** once you broke them you can go on and buy a new one without even crying out because you broke your mouse, keyboard

Headset - in my own honest opinion about it , it's the best to use music base headsets like sennheiser since webcam with microphones are out on a market now a days

so your total with tax is $1,357.09

you still got $142.91 + $60 mail in rebates

so you save  $202.91  wala pa yung free crucial na bebenta mo

[speedbluestar]

Thank you sir. Dito lang ako sa tx state. Btw, cc gagamitin ko kaya malakas loob ko haha..anyway try ko din sa newegg at bago ako bumili eh ippost ko muna dito kung approve sa inyo.

[kenji_kulet]

Thank you sir. Dito lang ako sa tx state. Btw, cc gagamitin ko kaya malakas loob ko haha..anyway try ko din sa newegg at bago ako bumili eh ippost ko muna dito kung approve sa inyo.

i forgot to tell you , if you have old Hard drives or DVD player mas OK to save money even an old Hard Drive on a laptop will do...kung SATA connection mas OK , pero kung old connections naman you can run down to Frys to buy an adapter for it

[Dairycow]

wait for other espiyas to post their build based on the site bro. i'll try to create a build tapos scrutinize nalang natin for revisions

this is a valid statement.

however, a brand PC's components has been calibrated to work with each other, thus a good performance and longer lifetime too, well plus the warrranty.

saw newegg, looks good. :-)

sorry to break your heart but you got it wrong

Positive side on buying a build gaming computer

- you have a warranty at least for a month to get a one year warranty you have to buy those warranty card that cost $60

- you didn't have to worry about breaking parts

- you just have to wait for the counter , drive it home plug it in viola!

- if your having a hard time , call the 1-800 hotline a customer rep. is standing by to help you

Negative side on buying a build gaming computer

- components inside they are unbranded , not all build computers use branded parts on there motherboard and memory which can cause you a problem when you wanted to upgrade on the future di mo kasi alam hanggang saan yung kayang MHz ng mobo mo

- sa ram naman they will write it down "8gb ddr3 ram" pero di nila nilalagay kung 1866 or 1600 or 1333

- you pay more than your expectations , you'll start in a $1000 mark and you wanted to change the GPU the price will eventually get higher you wanted to add this part another money in the bank will go

- you pay for the hours they make it , you can build it for less an hour it's not rocket science

- good airflow , which can cause you to over heat some parts

- it will never satisfy your needs , you will eventually upgrade all parts of it

  Positive side on building your own computer

- you will never start at the $1000 mark, you'll start at $0.00

- you'll see individual specs of your parts example your a buying mobo makikita mo kung hanggang saan yung Mhz ng kaya ng ram na pwede mo ilagay

- if something broke out you can go to your local computer store and buy the parts individually

- budget your money , see how much you can save there are parts that can give you freebies like the GPU i choose it comes with 4 games , di mo na kelangan bilin individual yung game at may pang extra games ka pa pocket mo

- you can proudly say it's your work of art

- mas madali ayusin

Negative side on building your own gaming computer

- you will never STOP building and upgrading to satisfy your needs on gaming (it's a curse you can't stop) 



gaming enthusiast will agree on me in this part  i know how you feel boys! you need that FPS more higher

there are videos on youtube go to newegg's channel there are D.I.Y's there

[speedbluestar]

Up lang mga sir. Eto nakita ko sa youtube $1500 din budget nya, medyo max na ng budget ko pero eto list baka may alternative ng kaunti para mapababa ang gastos.

Eto yung sa youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roFb3TNePIg

Specs List:

Intel Core i5 3570K CPU
Intel 300 Series 180GB SSD
MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard
MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition
Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drive
Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 RAM
Corsair GS700 power supply
Corsair H100i
Corsair SP Quiet fans
Corsair Vengeance 1300 headset - ordinary headset?
Corsair M65 gaming mouse - ordinary mouse or logitech mouse?
Cooler Master CM Storm Scout II case
CM Storm Quickfire Pro keyboard - Pwede ba ordinary keyboard na lang?

The rest eh hindi ko na alam kung ano alternative. Balak ko eh bilhin ng paisa-isa at buoin kapag nakumpleto na lahat.
Btw, okay ba yung guide na susundan ko? mas updated kasi to kesa sa newegg na 2yrs ago pa.

[speedbluestar]

Nag search ako sa newegg at amazon about price ng mga parts = $1467(tax, shipping individually not included pa yan + wala pa yung headset,keyboard,mouse dyan.)

Woah! 

[phengyboy]

TS nasa ibang bansa ka ba? if ditu ka lang sa pilipinas matutulungan kitang  mka build nang setup. Kung gaming pc gamitin mu wag kang mag spend more than 1000. mka kuha ka talga na mas mura jan. Dont get crried by the looks of the parts or the brands. there are more decent brands in the market that performs same or even better than expensive ones. suggest ko sayu is get those items according to the performance. in the long run its cheaper then its the same performance that counts.

Uu eh 

[kenji_kulet]

Woah! 

yung build ko sa newegg buo sayo ship yun...pag bumili ka naman online di sya individual na papadala may package deal sila sa amazon at newegg

example yung videocard, mobo , PSU mo lang ang available sa day na available yung ibang item papadala nila yun sayo ng free

 if more than $25 ang price nung binili mo they are free to ship

sa Amazon kasi yung ibang parts hindi galing sa Amazon some parts came from retail stores na maliliit lang na meron nung stock ng parts na yun or galing tiger direct


saka NCIX is from Canada   kung USD=1500 sa Canada=1544 + shipping sa US + Tax   mas mapapamahal ka pa

pero kung talagang gusto mo pero mahirap tong method na to   you can print out your price list from Amazon as long as the parts you choose are "full-filled by Amazon" or yung seller ay Amazon go to the nearest Frys store near you nag cocompare sila ng internet price   basta meron stock sa amazon at "full-filled by Amazon" they will match the internet price

eto lang tinatanggap sa FRYS if your planning to go there


and not all parts are available or has a big deduction sa Frys

example: Amazon price ng HD79XX is $144.99 tapos sa Frys naman $200 kukunin nila yung price nung Amazon + tax = $157.68 nalang babayaran mo

saka baka naman Razer yung mga kinukuha mo na parts na keyboard , mouse at headset mahal nga talaga yun

so far similar to sa build ko sa bahay though ang gamit ko na case is RAIDMAX VIPER "BLACK" at 8GB RAM tapos HD7750 na GPU. Waiting pa kasi ako ng cash ulit to upgrade the PC pero so far sa build kong yan nalaro ko na lahat ng bagong labas na high end games in high specs. Pagisipan mo kapatid kung panlalaro mo lang dun ka na sa makaka-mura ka.. Sayang pera..

Sir, eto ba pwede ko gawin guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roFb3TNePIg#sthash.6UDS1V6n.dpuf ?
Pwede ba yan, I mean ganyan ko din ba buoin yung mga parts?

[kenji_kulet]

Pwede ba yan, I mean ganyan ko din ba buoin yung mga parts?

pwede naman yan sir , basta makukuha mo yung parts lahat , saka wala pa atang OS na kasama yan pero $99 dollars lang naman yung Windows 8 32-64 bit OS


and yun nga yung kinuha kong GPU para sayo is may free games since Radeon is Giving away free games sa mga high end video cards nila you need to take that advantage, unlike GeForce wala silang binibigay na free games

pero it's up to you sir on  what kind of GPU are you going to put in

[clickaway]

better wait until next month.. intel will release new 4th gen processor by june 26, sayang din... sabi ng intel it would need less power and less heat you can even run it with out cooling system.

and even it came out it would be expensive... but i think i7 processor would become cheap and its motherboard.... its worth it to wait even your not buying the new processor.
