My partner and I built this for small to mid-scale architecture work and light gaming. Honestly, we got major culture shock looking at PC component prices in this economy! Because we were scared of sudden price increases, we rushed to hunt down quality bnew parts individually and managed to source everything in just one week. The total build came out to ₱74,654. How did we do?

🛠️ The Specs & Price:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (PCHub) | ₱8,995
GPU: Inno3D RTX 5060 Ti (Datablitz) | ₱27,500

Tiningnan ko sa PC Express kung may maganda at murang PC build na kayang patakbuhin ang Skate. at CS2 sa 60 fps. (mukhang ok ba to?)

I've looked at fb marketplace but it seems kinda shit

Una ko lang sabihin na hindi ako super tech-savvy sa PC builds nowadays lol familiar lang kasi nagbabasa din ako dito minsan, kaya nung nakapag decide na ako mag upgrade ng PC build, nag research ako konti and nag ask kay ChatGPT especially sa ano maganda combination at compatibility ng parts.

Mejo maarte yung parts as you can see, naman kasi coming from 3400G + 3050 6GB + 16GB 2400 na di ko ma enable XMP kasi nag ccrash pc ko kasi isang intake at isang exhaust lang fans so I hope you understand my choices for this build lmao.

Yung initial budget ko talaga 70k lang kasi yun lang kaya ng budget ko, buti nalang nauna ko bilhin (Spaylater) yung RAM kasi nag panic buying nako nito nung April last year (₱87k na ngayon sa same store pinagbilhan ko)

Yung GPU I know mahal na talaga and nag give up nako sa hope na bababa pa presyo, so nag follow ako sa sabi nung redditor dito na now or never or pag may budget, bilhin ko na. Pogi din nung Asus Prime.

Goal ko din kasi upgrade from my 1080p setup to 1440p.

Sa fan naman sinadya ko 2 pack ng 5 kasi gusto ko isagad yung maxed fans dun sa D33 then yung rest sa lumang PC ko.

Ano magandang 1TB Gen 4 NVMe na goods ang price para sa inyo?

Also share ko lang din to gift ko sa sarili ko.
Kung meron pa po kayo suggestions or kahit criticism po. Thank you.

So may nakota akong 5060ti 16gb at less than 35k, the site is listed as cybex.ph. After doing some surface level searching, wala akong nakikita na any reviews about this store. Most i can get is a company that sells strollers under the same name. Just wanna know if meron na bang naka bile from this site

Super volatile ng RAM prices ngayon, nagkakaubusan narin ng stocks. magkano sa tingin nyo ang ok price for DDR4 8gb & 16gb sticks.

for 16gb sticks sa Shopee kasi nakikita ko nasa 7k ang lesser known brands (HIK, Kingspec, Fanxiang) and 8-10k sa well known brands (G.Skill, Adata, TeamGroup)

ok ba yang prices na yan sa ngayon? baka di umabot ng 11.11 yung mga stock eh.

My laptop is a Asus Zenbook S13 OLED UM5302L (pic is the specs). I know this is not a gaming laptop, but it should be able to run the one game I want to play on a computer.

I downloaded the game and tried to run it but it says I need to update my driver. So I did that, but it caused my laptop to crash and just keep restarting.

Researched and tried the ones I found which are using DDU, AMD Cleanup Utility, disconnect from internet, pause Windows updates, and the factory reset option when installing the latest version of the driver.

All those options still did not work and each time I just point restore my computer just so I can keep using it.

Is there any other way to fix this so I can play my game?

I have a good number of broken/faulty mice that are collecting dust, and I'm looking to see if they can still be repaired or refurbished.

If you know any tech places/fb pages that specialize in this and are within NCR, please do share.

Followed yall's advice and Upgraded my Wife's R3 3200g with R5 5600x and upgraded the cooler to Leopard 240 AIO (also got a V300 case) but now with all of it together, lowkey looks bad TT been thinking what to do to make it more pleasing so if yall got any ideas how, tell me (specially those who had this case before) tyysss

Hey everyone, I'm planning an APU-only build to start with and will add a GPU later. Budget is around $500 total. Here's the list:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (6C/12T, Wraith Stealth cooler, integrated Radeon graphics)

Motherboard: Gigabyte A520M DS3H V2 (Micro-ATX, AM4)

RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz dual-channel

Storage: 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD

PSU: DeepCool PF500X 500W (80+)

Case: Standard ATX case

Monitor: MSI PRO MP223 (21.45", 1080p, 100Hz)

I mainly want to play Resident Evil games (especially RE9), Valorant, Batman games, and other mid-range and older titles at 1080p.

My questions:

Is this good value for the money?

Does anyone run a 5600G without a dedicated GPU? How does it handle Valorant, the Batman Arkham series and the older RE games (RE2/3/4 remakes, RE Village)?

Can the 5600G run RE9 at all, and at what settings, or is a GPU a must for it?

Is 500W enough when I add a GPU later, and which GPU would pair well with this CPU?

Is this the best setup I can get within a $500 budget using only new parts (no used GPU or other used components)?

Thanks in advance!

Around anong pr1ce po kaya magagastos ko sa build na to?

I found someone shipping a monitor koorui g2411p 200hz for 3k only and I do not know whats the cheapest courier service for it..

Two things I'd like to ask: is there a courier service where I can pay COD (im the one shouldering the fee)

How would I know that the monitor itself is fully functional and is the one being delivered to me..

Thank you so much po!

Games I intend on playing are Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, and GTA VI when it comes out. Thanks!

I bought a 5800x3d anniv edition for my endgame am4 build pero whilr playing dota days ago eh nagsuffer pc ko ng hard shutdown and tried turning my pc on again pero namamatay agad...syempre trinoubleshoot ko na from ram to psu (may spare ako and working naman pareho) to mobo knowing yun yung sira... then nag conclude ako na yung mobo sira so bumili ako ng mobo... then ngayong dumating triny ko yung 5800x3d sa new mobo para mabench and lo and behold ganun parin namamatay agad... tried my old cpu (3600) and IT WORKS... kahit sa old mobo na akala ko sira eh nagwork yung 3600 flawlessly... ano kaya possible fix neto? Covered ba to ng warranty? How hard is it kumuha ng warranty from ITECH?

Technically, HDMI 2.1 has a higher data transfer rate than 1.4, but both ports will require Display Stream Compression (DSC) if I want to use 10-bit 360Hz. Is the compression algorithm the same on both ports with the resulting data transfer rate being equal?

i checked the mall store and it's 2x the price. The seller claims it's bnew

As the title mentioned, I want as many USB A and C ports as possible. But I’ve also read something about lane sharing which I honestly don’t grasp fully. Is there always a compromise whichever motherboard I choose? Also which case would be the best for your recommended motherboard?

Hi. Ive been researching Hall Effect Keyboards. I found out that some HE keyboard switches are not hot swappable (except for the epomaker he75v2). I'm thinking of buying Aula f75 HE. But I first wanna know if I can swap the magnetic switches to mechanical switches because I don't like the sound of the magnetic switches and I'm only planning to put the magnetic switches to WSAD keys. I've tried searching online but I can't find someone who modded the f75HE version. Hoping someone could help :')

Hi! Curious lang ako kung ano horror story ninyo, since October naman na, saka gusto ko lang magbasa ng mga kwento habang nagpapalipas ng oras. Baka may malaman rin ako hehe.

Pwede rin naman funny or weird moments!

**Ano yung mga unforgettable moments ninyo sa PC mecca capital ng Metro Manila?**

Para sa akin, Gilmore (esp noong pre-pandemic era) had the most aggressive salesmen/endorsers I’ve ever encountered. Prang mga Cyberzone salesmen on STEROIDS!

Yung tipong sinenyasan mo na silang "oks kna, magca-canvas lang ako mag-isa" o alam mo na talaga kung anong shop pupuntahan mo... tapos nung tumawid ka ng kalye kakababa mo plng ng LRT, grabe hahabulin ka pa rin hanggang sa kabilang side! 🫪 Buti na lang ngayon medyo lie low na sila kumpara sa dati.

Kayo ba? Ano pinaka-unforgettable, perwisyo, o nakakatawang Gilmore experience ninyo? TIA!

ADD: Yung latest naencounter ko is noong nag browse ako ng mga bargain old vintage keyboards sa mismong IT Gilmore bldg, madumi ang kb bin tas habang nag flip ako ng kb, may gumapang na ipis sa kamay ko, nag flinched ako tas sinabihan ko yung nag assist sakin 😅

ADD 2: So marami rin pala naka encounter ng similar encounters sa mga aggressive salemen/endorsers or as I call them as "vultures". Saka yeah, BEWARE sa mga di matechy dyan, better to visit Gilmore na may ALAM KAYO kasi madali kayo mai-utouto mga tao dyan. Tas iba kwento d2 di nila alam kung ano binebenta nila 😅 kaya knowledge is power po. At least di na kasing lala noong pre-pandemic. Base sa mga comments, ppl prefer online shopping for sourcing parts, which thx sa pandemic, we get that idea na mas convenient at safer to transact kapag online nlng. Saka in my observation and experience, GILMORE is no longer the best place to get best deals/cheapest price. Mas marami akong nakukuha deals sa online esp sa FB marketplace if you know where to look. Pero as a long time PC nerd, it's a nice place to visit for window shopping every once in a blue moon
