I’m planning to buy myself a Desktop PC this Christmas from HP and I’m contemplating between an HP Pavilion Elite m9299d Desktop PC or HP Pavilion s3690d Slimline PC. But I realized that I can save more If I assemble my own Desktop PC. I need suggestions from PC/Hardware geeks or not geeks out there of what parts to buy for maximum PC performance (on gaming, photo editing, video editing, eating, swimming, and everything that we can do inside Milky Way Galaxy).
I’m eyeing on an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Processor , 2 GB DDR2 Memory (or 4GB if I can make use of it), and 1TB SATA HDD. I don’t know what Motherboard to buy, what Graphics Card to buy (nVidia GeForce, ATI Radeon or any better??), and other important specs of a PC to consider. My reason why I’m buying an HP Pavilion is to have my very own 24″ HD Widescreen LCD, because it’s free when you buy an HP Desktop PC. (It’s worth Php20k+ if you’ll buy an PH Widescreen LCD alone)
If I can save more bucks and create a more powerful PC, why not assemble my own and maximize the value of my money and the performance of my very own personal computer.
So the main specs and parts of my dream PC are:
Intel Core 2 Quad Processor
1 TB SATA HDD
2GB DDR2 Memory / 4GB DDR2 Memory
HP 24″ High Definition Widescreen LCD
Wireless Logitech Keyboard and Mouse
Tower Case = Need a slim one, but I don’t have any idea what to buy.
Motherboard = No Idea
Graphics Card = No Idea
Wireless Card = (I’m still skeptical to buy a WLAN card or just buy an External Linksys Wireless-N Adapter.)
And… Just add more parts if necessary.
I hope someone here can suggest what are the best specs for a PC (And what’s the possible total cost) to obtain maximum performance, stability, durability and all lity lity. Hehehe.
Any PC part suggestion or recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank yahhh!

Why do you need a Desktop? Just a get a MacBook Pro :P
e.... gusto ko magkaroon ng desktop eh.. sawa na ako sa laptops. next time na kasi daming nag silabasan na new laptops.. pag bibilhin ko yung isang laptop, may bago ulit na lalabas.. baka next year na me bibili ulit ng laptop :shock:
Wag ka na mag assemble. Marami ka namang pera eh, magpa assemble ka na lang. O di kaya bumili ka ng branded.
waaaaa! mag papa assemble nga me, kaso yung parts, i need suggestions :cry: wahehehehe.. gusto ko din mag assemble eh para masaya :shock:
eto.. kung gusto mo ng pang gaming tutal mayaman ka o mapera ka.. mag pa set up ka ng intel i7. yung latest gen series.. siguradong mahal yon pero siguradong malakas yon..
pwede ka rin sa mas murang klase ng processor set.. si amd.. amd ryzen syempre yung latest din na series..
then tsaka mo isipin kung anong motherboard ang akma sa processor mo
isunod mo ang videocard. kung nag gagames ka na online tulad ng PUBG PC.. tignan mo yung max requirements nya.. dun mo i akma ang videocard mo or mas higitan mo pa.
then memory.. pa check mo kung ilan ang maximum memory ng set up na ginawa mo. then bilihin mo yung max nya..
sabihin mo mag atx ka na motherboard. para madaming slot ng memory.. minsan ang max memory hinahati sa ilang piraso. tulad halimbawa.. max memory 32gb. 2x16gb or 4x8gb. sample yan
pag dating sa storage device mo. gumamit ka ng sdd card. yun ang mabilis na ngayon na klase ng storage device.. hindi na hdd..
ginagamit yon specially sa system.. halimbawa.. naka sdd 240gb or sdd 480gb ka.
syempre wag mo kalimutan ang power supply.. ang set up na yan malamang umaabot sa 800watts or more.. im not sure sa exact basta mataas na ang wattage ng set up na yan.. kaya mangangailangan ka siguro ng 1000watts. syempre piliin mo yung may 80% efficiency silver or gold na power supply.. para sigurado na hindi ka bibiguin or matagal ang lifetime ng powersupply mo..
lahat yan isasalpak sa isang atx casing syempre.. dapat yung maganda na klase na ng atx casing mo..
kulang mo nalang dyan.. Monitor mouse and keyboard..
OH AYAN MAG SET UP KA NA!
buy u nalang yung SlimType PC, cute sya :mrgreen:
wala me alam sa motherboards, graphics cards, etc kuya, kasi di ko alam eh. sowi can't suggest sa parts :eek:
yun bibilhin ko pag wala me nahanap na maganda at murang parts.. nyok :mrgreen:
I suggest na stay away from Nvidia Motherboards. Kasi may problema, problemang di ko alam, pero basta may nabasa me dati na may topak ang Nvidia motherboards na nirelease at yung mga built in sa HP tablets at pavilion laptops.
Go for an Intel DX48BT2 Motherboard, Gigabyte EP45-UD3P, or any ECS motherboards.
For Video Cards, ATI Radeon or XFX GeForce. Yung latest na XFX nalang kuya, yung GeForce GTX 260 something, basta yun yun...
For Processor, Intel Quad Core na sinabi mo sa post mo, oks na oks na yun, or yung andoon sa drawing mo na Intel Extreme, sobrang ok na yan for gaming and 3D. Ewan ko lang kung maghahang sya
For memory, Mushkin or Corsair na DDR2, yan yung known brands eh. Pwede din Kingston :)
I think that's all muna. Pag may tanong ka pa text me, or samahan nalang kita bumili ng parts then libre mo me :mrgreen:
naks! zainey! nosebleed ako ah.. di ko alam mga yan.. hahaha! Mushkin? Corsair? ngayon ko lang yan narinig. Bobo me sa mga names ng hardware parts.. wooot! galing! bow ako sayo :eek:
thnks ulit sa suggestions :)
wag ka na mag-assenble ng PC, pamahagi mo na lng kayamanan mo. :razz:
kelangan ko eh. nid ko nidd... not want.. :cry: it's like oxygen, i need it.. badly.. super.. as in! :mrgreen:
Hi Jehz, I stumbled upon you're blog from Google. I love your cartoons and as I browse your latest posts, all of theme has cool cartoons! :mrgreen: you also have cool emoticons :shock:
Btw, if you're planning to buy or assemble a PC for extreme performance I suggest you to buy an AMD Cheap, because it's more powerful and more reliable than intel based on CNET Reviews. Go for an AMD Phenom 9950 2.6 GHz. It's more powerful than Intel's Extreme Processor. As for the Memory and Motherboard, Zainey has good suggestions about it.
If you want a ready-made, super-powerful desktop, check alien ware's line up of gaming desktops. I bet, it will surely make you wow. Price range starts from $1,000 up.
I hope this helps. :)
yay! thanks for the suggestion greg :grin:
tsk tsk... bili ka nalang ng microsoft surface!!! kaya mo bilhin ang surface,,, baka ma feature kapa sa TV (pinakaunang nakabili ng MS Surface) ... hehe
hahahaha! useless yun.. ano yun? upuan? nyok :P
bat naman useless eh yan pinaka advance at pinaka hitech ngayon... sobrang hitech talaga. hehe
di ko magagamit.. hahaha. .at di ko kelangan kahit lilipat pa yung surface na yun.. :eek:
teka gagawa ako ng listahan ng suggested parts.. pati na rin estimated price.. hehehhe
wow! ok yan! maganda yan! gawa ka na now! :shock: wahahaha. .demanding no.. heheeh.. yeah astig yan! yiheeeeeeeeeeeee! :mrgreen:

wow! cool! astig! 28 inch LCD Monitor? mukhang malaki yan ah.. thanks for the specs and the price paul! Will take not of it.. Core I7, magkano kaya yan dito sa pinas.. yung processor pa lang is 50k php na if pareho sa abroad yung price.. wooot! :oops:
Intel DX58SO, mukhang maganda din.. :mrgreen:
2GB x 3? bali 6GB ang RAM? magagamit ko ba sya kahit di ako 64-BIT? mga nabasa ko kasi mga 64-BIT lang nakaka maximize ng 4GB ram or more.. pag 32-BIT, less than or equal to 3GB lang dapat, tama ba? nyok..
or dapat mag 64-BIT ako pag ganun ka ganda specs ko? :mrgreen:
Okay, let's make it straight to the point Jehz, para saan ang laptop mo, for work lang ba? graphics or gaming? dyan kasi tayo makakabuo ng specs.
reply ka na lng dito jehz, para hindi ako maguluhan =)
bibigay ko na sa tatay ko yung laptop eh.. so yung desktop multipurpose na sya for me, lahat ng gagawin ko dun na :eek:
Oh i see.. anong nangyari sa laptop mo? ba't namamatay? nagrerestart ba magisa? or battery problem? have you try reformating your laptop? (if mabagal kasi, need lang reformat and cleaning up PC. baka madami na virus or spyware?) anong specs and brand ng laptop mo? =)
TX 1000, nawawala wala ang ang wifi, namamatay matay ang laptop :D may hardware problem daw sabi ng HP support, kelangan ko dalhin sa service center :D
base din sa mga reviews bulok talaga HP TX series lalo na mother board, dmai ko nabasa sa forums eh :D lahat kami same problem, at di pa na sosolusyonan ng HP til now.. :D at di din nila ina ayos, kaya di ko nalang din ipa pa ayos, kasi yung iba mga 3 to 5 months bago nakuha, pag ka kuha sira parin D: yoko na umasa sa mga ganun, kaya bibili nalang me new PC :D
na reforrmat ko na to, la parin nangyari kasi hardware problem :D laruan ko nalang to :mrgreen:
namamatay matay lang sya kasi may problema sa hardware :razz: yun ang sabi ng HP kelangan ko daw ipa ayos pero yoko na ipa ayos kasi matatagalan sa service center, kaya pinag tyatyagaan ko nlang kahit nama matay matay.. di ko kasi to ino off. kahit isang buwan na naka on, naka on parin, kaya ayun tuloy nag o off, kasi mainit na ata ang processer, me thinks.. :D
walang pahinga kasi tong laptop ko, parang desktop :mrgreen:
