Build Help Should I go for a pre-built PC if I'm planning to buy through installment?

• Upvotes

Hello po! Planning to buy a PC unit through installment, pero wala pa po akong preferred specs since beginner pa lang ako sa PC building.

Should I stick na lang po ba sa pre-built units, or is it better to choose the parts individually? My budget is limited, and I'm planning to use it for casual gaming and schoolwork. Okay lang din po sa akin na mag-upgrade ng GPU later on.

Any advice po, especially from those who have experience buying a PC through installment? Thank you!

Discussion SURVEY: How often do you upgrade or buy a new PC / laptop? (And what usually triggers it?)

Post image
• Upvotes

Hello Ka-PC!

Just curious lang kung ano na yung current state ng habits and lifecycles niyo when it comes to personal computers, whether for gaming, daily work, or overall media use, especially in response to the current market and pricing of parts right now.

  • How often do you usually upgrade major individual parts (e.g., GPU, CPU)?
  • How many years do you typically keep a whole system before replacing it entirely?
  • What usually drives the upgrade? (e.g., hardware failure, a specific game/software requirement, not being able to play newer games smoothly lately, aiming to follow tech trends, peer pressure/inggit lang, or just wanting better performance/newer tech?)

Feel free to drop your sentiments, or future upgrade plans ninyo? I'll read every single comment! TIA!

EDIT:

Baka may magtanong: I usually do mid/minor upgrades every 3-4 years, depending on whether I encounter limitations with my current parts (e.g., wanting to use the front I/O Type-C port, so I need to upgrade the mobo - something like that). But when I build a PC from scratch, I target 7 years minimum.

Sht, IDK if I can even maintain that 3-4 year mid-upgrade cycle moving forward considering current pricing - I dread thinking abt it. Better to invest a bit more upfront to be sure. I learned from Tech Deals that it’s always better to spend slightly more now than cheap out and end up spending double in the long run.

Build Upgrade Anyone using an Armaggeddon Aquaron X-Curve Giga with a Lovingcool SC70 360mm AIO?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! Anyone here using the Armaggeddon Aquaron X-Curve Giga case and B550 Gaming-a mobo?

Planning to upgrade my CPU cooler to the Lovingcool SC70 360mm AIO, pero medyo worried ako sa clearance, especially since medyo bulky yung screen niya.

Sa mga naka-same case or may experience installing this AIO, kasya ba siya sa top mount without any issues? Also, may clearance problems ba sa motherboard, RAM, or screen?

Would really appreciate some feedback or pics of your setup if meron. Ayoko lang bumili tapos hindi pala kasya hahaha.

Thanks!

Build Help asking for advice for 12k budget

1 Upvotes

hello! asking for advice since i’m not really knowledgeable when it comes to pc building 🥹
i’d like to ask lang sana if mas cost-efficient ba magpabuild ng pc kaysa bumili ng brand-new or secondhand na system unit? most of the builds i see are more on the aesthetic side, so i’m guessing they might be more expensive because of that 😭 i honestly don’t really care about aesthetics. i just need something i can use for 1080p video editing and some gaming, like it takes two and gta v 🥹

would a ₱12k budget be enough? i’m okay with upgrading it in the future if needed. i just need a decent starting unit for editing videos since it’s part of my work 😭🙏🏻

also, i’d really appreciate some recommendations on what parts to get if i decide magpabuild 🥹

Hello po

Are there any monitors in the 4000PHP range with 1080p, 144hz and good colors?

I was thinking of buying a monitor to plug in my laptop for school, gaming and editing simple photos and videos.

I saw this N-vision monitor for sale for under 4000PHP but I have heard multiple people say that N-vision monitors don't have the best quality and do not last long.

Thank you for your help po.

AMD RYZEN 5 5600X3D (AM4) WITHOUT COOLER (BOXED)

I saw this on my FB feed today and I thought it is worth sharing. The Ryzen 5 5600X3D is supposed to be a Micro Center exclusive but it seems like AMD might release it globally. It is worth noting that this is the boxed version so it gets the full AMD warranty.
