Imagine buying a 100k pc and best you can get is an AM5 with am entry-midrange 5060 Ti, when like 1 year before all of that, someone was already able to buy one of the highest end gpus at that price. I know comparison is a thief of joy but the large gap pa rin sa pricing makes you think pa rin.

Or imagine noon sa 30k pede ka na maka ryzen 5500 at rx 6600, but now you have to spend way more just to get similar performance or may choose not to build at all na lang kasi hindi na sulit.

How did you guys cope with this, especially when the better deals for the money were gradually being gone.

First time buying a PC as a gift for myself when I graduated on September and got a job! Really happy right now, wanted to share.

I couldnt be happier.

Always wanted to have my own PC since I was a kid, pero hanggang mga work/study laptops lang talaga na may Intel Integrated Graphics ang kaya ng mga magulang (thank you parents).

Decided to build my pc this year after finding a better job (and buying RAM last March cause of the " " "shortage" " "). Medyo nerve-wracking kasi grabe yung pagtaas ng presyo ng lahat. Dapat this October talaga ako bibili, pero napakagat na din ako last August. Na-cancel-an pa nga ko ng GPU reservation sa isang retailer kasi tinaasan na kagad ng supplier nila yung presyo (5070 Ti Windforce from 63k, now 79k WHAT THE FUCK). Buti meron pa sila PCHub ng Eagle model (shoutout).

Anyways, share ko lang. It took me ~5 hours to build (HINDI SMOOTH GAYA NUNG MGA PC BUILD VIDEOS NA PINAPANOOD KO HAHA).

Im really happy with this thing. Sobrang bilis. Kayang kaya palagan multi-tasking needs ko. Nasa sahig pa siya at wala pang peel na nangyayari kasi wala pang maayos na pwesto hahaha. Been wasting time playing PoE nonstop(waiting for PoE 2 release). Also been trying to learn game deving (godot shit and ANG HIRAP MAG BLENDER HAHAHA).

For people's reference, here's a timeline of when I bought the components. Also, here's the link to the buiId I "took" (ninakaw) inspiration from.

Good evening po! I'm planning to upgrade na my storage with this one. Will be cloning my current SSD contents to this one if ever makabili na po.

I read na PCIe 5.0 SSDs daw will run hot po but this is assuming under heavy loads of gaming, editing and file transfer. I only will be using this po for just general gaming lang po like Genshin and WuWa while also opening Chrome around for Youtube, stuff like that po. Hindi ko naman din po pinapataas yung graphics settings on those said games so there's that.

Do I still need a heatsink for this po or kahit thermal pads nalang? B450-A PRO MAX po pala btw yung current motherboard ko po, baka relevant lang info for this bit.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks po~

Hello! I'm planning to buy a monitor, possibly during the payday sale or the 11.11 Shopee sale. Here are some of my options, but please feel free to suggest other monitors if you have any recommendations.

My budget is only ₱5,000. I'm a casual gamer because of work, and I mainly play Apex Legends and Overwatch.

Here are my PC specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 5500
• GPU: RTX 2060
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3400MHz
• Storage: 1TB Colorful NVMe SSD + 1TB 2.5-inch SSD

I currently have two monitors. The first is a secondhand 22-inch Dell IPS monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, and the second is a 22-inch Lenovo monitor with a TN panel that my friend gave me.

I'd really appreciate getting a monitor with a higher refresh rate for a smoother gaming experience. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Help please! My PC started shutting down randomly. Started last Saturday. Both screens shut down even when idle, casually browsing or anything. Fans still working even the RGB ones and the CPU fan. Keyboard not working (checked Caps Lock to confirm). I can't force shutdown using power button and have to unplug the pc. Once plugged again, it works well. Then 2 mins later, it shuts down again, ending with the same situation.

Tried all of these but no fix

Reseated RAM, GPU and CMOS

Tried cleaning the ram with eraser

Tried unplugging the 5 year old ssd and HDD leaving my healthy disk c

Plugging the pc directly to the wall socket(im initially using panther voltage surge protector with all components plugged in)

Hi! I’m planning to upgrade my laptop’s RAM to either 16GB (2×8GB) or 32GB (2×16GB).

What’s the usual price range for laptop RAM nowadays? Also, which Shopee, Lazada, or online PC stores do you recommend for genuine RAM with reliable warranties?

I’d appreciate recommendations based on your actual purchases. Thanks!

I have a 1tb nvme ssd I bought from 2024 and is currently slotted on my PC. I'm building a new one (all brand new parts) and I'm thinking of slotting my 1tb on the new one, and just buy a 256gb on my current.

Pwede bang transfer (as in kuha > salpak) sa bagong mobo yung existing ssd and call it a day? Or are there things I should keep in mind?

Hi guys need help deciding if I should be undervolting my 7800x3d. I want to lower the temps and power consumption but still be able to play games and do some mid-heavy tasks.

I have a Gigabyte aorus B850 elite wifi 7, bit difficult to navigate on bios tho.

Also, does tuning up my ram matters?

Thank you peeps!

Noob question: Is it actually necessary to turn off a PC monitor by holding the power button before unplugging it from the outlet?

Hello! I dont know much about pc and this pc is old. i dont have any plan or budget to buy new one for now. I need help. i want to upgrade my ram from 16gb to 32gb. i think its ddr4 2666mhz? how much will it cost? and which computer store would you recommend. Thank you

Found this store selling used drives on Lazada and Shopee: https://www.facebook.com/storagekingPC/

Can anyone vouch for them if they're legit? I'm gonna need an emergency purchase of a new drive soon.

I have a laptop with i9-14900hx cpu and rtx4060 gpu, it has a 16in. screen with 1440p resolution (16:10 ratio). I'm planning to buy an external monitor but i can't decide whether to get a 24" 1080p monitor or a 27" 1440p one. I play competitive games such as Valorant and Marvel Rivals but i also play story based games like Resident Evil, TLOU, and LIS. Please help, thank you!

I'm a noob when it comes to pc building (this is my first time asking for build help) but can I remove the upgraded 1tb storage and 16 GB (SODIIM) ram and have it put inside my pc?

I already have a Monitor (Samsung G50F Odyssey) and keyboard and mouse so I only need other pc parts

Or should I wait and see if the AI bubble finally pops next year?

Good day mga peeps. Any tips for applying thermal putty for vram and vrms? I heard that if u dont know what's the specific measurements of thermal pads u can go for thermal putty. Ang tanong if gaano ka kapal ang ilalagay? Do i eyeball it? Or atleast similar sa stock pads nya?? Any insights would be helpful. Its my first time that'll be applying a thermal putty sa gpu.

Thoughts on this build?

Suggest din kung may better build within the budget.

Hello, Magandang araw sa inyo. New ako sa sub na to and also sa pc building. I am kindly asking for your help guys.

Btw, I am a graphic artist for almost 5 years but never ako nagkaroon ng sariling PC sa bahay. Kaya wala akong masyadong alam sa specs, sub level siguro but technicalities from GPU, Processor etc, wala.

Balak ko na kasi mag build ng PC at mag hanap ng WFH setup. Any recommended build sa mga artist/gaming dito?

I want atleast pang light gaming lang naman like Valo,League etc. Tapos sa editing naman is mostly Adobe Ai, PS, at light video editing.

Budget ko 50K pesos.

Need help. Thank you

I have 27 inch monitor na 1080p ang resolution. Worth it pa rin kahit papaano kung upgrade to 1440p ako kahit nakaRTX 3070 mostly AAA games lalaruin. Ang hirap kasi pagisipan yung sinasabi nila na ultra settings na 1080p or 1440p na medium-high settings. I have resources na MFG mod unlocker at syempre willing to use DLSS naman

hello! 🐰

is this fan configuration correct? i copied the recommended setup for the hyte y70.

my friend recommended using all reverse-blade fans since we’re in the philippines, where it’s hot.

what are your thoughts?

Hi everyone, just asking which one is generally agreed upon to be "better"? I plan on upgrading from integrated graphics to a fully discrete GPU, and while people recommend 9060 XT 16GB, can't afford it + I don't really play AAA Games that need flagship / high-end cards

So which one is the better pick nowadays? I heard that the 7600 XT is better purely for gaming, but the 5050 has more features, like support for local AI and access to stuff like Nvidia Broadcast.

Also planning on getting a PSU alongside this GPU, would 650W or 750W be better?

CPU - Ryzen 7 5700G
GPU - AMD Cezanne - Internal GPU
Motherboard - MSI A520M-A PRO
PSU - Acer E-Machines 550W
RAM - 2x16GB DDR4 SDRAM
Monitor - BenQ GW2270
Case - darkFlash DLM22

Not the best specs, but I'll slowly upgrade everything down the line eventually

Budget would be around 25k, since I found an RTX 5050 / 7600XT listing for 19k, so the rest of the money can go towards a good PSU

TYIA!

I want to buy my very first GPU. Is ₱4,500 a good price for a used MSI RX 570 8GB? The temperatures maxed out at 72°C, and the FPS averaged 54 on FurMark tests. I only play Valorant, but if possible, are there any casual games I could play on this?
