Yes, you read that right, nanalo po ako ng Mobo from a page called MS cyberarea. I'm trying to sell the MOBO somewhere but if walang kumuha. I thought magbuild nalang. Ito po yung parts na nakita ko na within the budget 60K but hopefully maka lessen pa since December is just around the corner.

Meron na akong peripherals which will came from my current PC 5yrs outdated btw, still works but I think it's time.

Any inputs will be appreciated.

Build Help Help me build a PC with Ryzen 7 9800X3D + RTX 5070 Ti (₱150k–₱170k budget)

10 Upvotes

Hello po! First time ko pong mag-build ng high-end PC, and I’m planning to build around the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti. Dream PC ko po ito, kaya gusto ko sana na sulit ang bawat component at pangmatagalan na rin.

Mainly for gaming po, especially Valorant, GTA V/VI, RDR2, and future AAA games. Gusto ko sana ng high FPS, smooth gameplay, and a build na kaya pang i-upgrade in the future.

Budget: Around ₱150k–₱170k for the system unit, but I’m willing to extend up to ₱200k if the additional cost is justified by a meaningful improvement in performance, quality, or longevity.

Parts na kino-consider ko:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti
Motherboard: B850 or X870
RAM: 32GB DDR5, preferably 6000MT/s
Storage: 2TB NVMe SSD
PSU: Reliable, high-quality unit with enough wattage and headroom for future upgrades
Cooling: Good air cooler or AIO, depending on what’s worth it
Case: Good airflow; no need for a white build

May ilang questions lang po ako:
1. Worth it po ba ang X870 motherboard, or sapat na ang magandang B850 board para sa build na ito?
2. Anong specific motherboard, RAM, SSD, PSU, at cooler ang marerecommend ninyo?
3. Okay na po ba ang 850W PSU, or mas magandang mag-1000W para sa future upgrades?
4. May parts po ba na mas sulit bilhin locally, especially sa mga shops sa Philippines?

Since kaya kong mag-extend hanggang ₱200k, may worthwhile upgrades ba kayong irerecommend, or mas magandang i-save na lang ang difference?

Mas gusto ko po sana ng quality components, reliable PSU, good thermals, at upgradeability kaysa sa aesthetics. Hindi rin po kailangang RGB-heavy.

EDIT: Willing to extend my budget up to ₱200k if needed. Gusto ko lang malaman kung saan talaga sulit ilagay ang extra budget at kung may components na mas magandang bilhin para maging future-proof ang build. Open po ako sa suggestions basta justified ang additional cost.

Thank you po sa lahat ng suggestions and recommendations!

Ok ba itong build? Are there parts I can replace to lower the cost without compromising the performance? Or are there better parts I can get that won't affect the price that much?

Usage: Heavy gaming (long hours) and moderate video editing (DaVinci Resolve)

Initial budget is 100K

Pasuggest naman po. Di naman talaga ako maalam sa PC building. Thank you so much!

Build Upgrade Upgrading my Pre-Built PC

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a total noob when it comes to PC Specs, that's why I don't know some of the specs' brands.

But, I need help upgrading my pc.

Budget: 50K

Here's my current specs:

Processor: Ryzen 5 5500 3.60 GHz

Motherboard: BIOSTAR B550m

GPU: RTX 3050 6GB Dual

Ram: 16GB 3200 MHz DDR4

SSD: SATA 256 GB 2.5

HDD: 512 GB 3.5

PSU: 550 Watts 80+ Bronze

FAN: 4x aRGB with remote

I want to upgrade my pc because sometimes it can't handle other games such as Tekken 8, and other high graphic Roblox games.

Again, I'm a total noob when it comes to pc specs, so please let me know if I missed a part. Thank you!

Build Help Gigabyte 9070 XT Gaming OC Hotspot Delta is a bit concerning

Post image
• Upvotes

After lurking in this sub for years now, Now is the time to post something here so heya reddit! Did anyone here have the Gigabyte 9070 XT Gaming OC graphics card? We bought mine 2 months ago back in August 1 at PC Worth and my hotspot delta has reached over 35-37 degrees (60c on core and 95c on hotspot after an hour of gaming). Everything is in stock settings, no modifications are done whatsoever (undervolted it only one time as a test, not to an extreme tho, the card wasnt also exactly stable as it caused me crashes so i just reverted it back to stock). Is there any way to address this hotspot delta by contacting their services to replace the paste inside with a TPM7950 or getting a similar model of the 9070 xt with a tpm7950 already applied on the core? Im just losing my mind with this temps lmao. Thank you in advance for any response!

Build Flex Possibly the Best Compactness-to-Airflow Ratio Case I've Ever Achieved

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

For everyone running a 250W HDPLEX GaN PSU, and for those who are tired of being limited to low-profile CPU coolers with low TDP capabilities just to keep their builds compact, I've recently picked up a project I've been working on over the past year!

I'm currently refining the design with the goal of publishing it on MakerWorld. The case has already been printed several times, but I've made some additional changes to improve it further. For now, here are some renders of the updated design. I'll also include a few pictures of the original version I built for myself, featuring a magnetic monitor mount, as well as a more recent print before the latest round of changes.

I genuinely think this could be one of the best cases out there when it comes to balancing airflow and compactness. It supports low-profile GPUs only, but accommodates CPU coolers up to 69 mm tall, which is considerably more than many other compact SFF cases in this size category. And the best part? It's barely over 5 litres (5.14L, to be precise haha).

Cooling options are pretty interesting, too. With a standard dual-slot low-profile GPU, such as an RTX 4060 LP or 5060 LP, there's room for:

  • 2 × 80 mm fans at the front
  • 1 × 80 mm fan on top
  • 2 × 40 mm fans on top

These configurations use slim fans rather than standard 25 mm-thick ones.

If you're planning to use the case with an iGPU build instead, like I'm currently doing with my 8700G, you can even install two standard 80 × 25 mm fans at the bottom in place of the GPU.

I've also put a lot of thought into keeping the overall design as clean as possible. The feet use hidden magnets, so they can be removed whenever needed without leaving visible magnets on the outside. There are no visible screws or unnecessary holes on the exterior, apart from a single screw on the side panel. Everything else relies on sliding and interlocking mechanisms.

The fans are mounted on removable, thin brackets that slide into dedicated slots on the front, top and bottom panels, just like a picture in a frame. This keeps them securely in place without leaving any fan mounting screws visible from the outside.

The side panel slides off and is secured to the front panel with just a single screw as I mentioned before. The front panel itself also slides into place, making disassembly straightforward.

I'm still working on the final details, but I'm looking forward to sharing the finished project with you all!

If you're interested in my crazy projects, feel free to follow me on MakerWorld: scala3dprints

Discussion 2nd Hand Desktops Advice .

2 Upvotes

Hi,

So I am planning to buy by the end of the year, a 2nd hand desktop. Preferably with these specs below:

MoBo: B450m / B550m
Ram: 16gb
SSD: 512Gb Nvme
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 or 5 5600G/GT
GPU: anything above 1000 rtx / I think Radeon dedicated GPUs are also good
PSU: 650W up
Cooler: I think Stock cooler will do.
Case: Preferably MATX

Any advise on how should I check if the parts inside, are still good?

P.S I will only get ryzen 5 5600 if there is a dedicated GPU. Otherwise, ill choose G or GT

Mainly, I will use it for work and games like Dota 2 and Genshin Impact.

Please give advise on what to check on these 2nd hand desktops.

Build Help Where to buy computer parts with fair price in Metro Manila?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This is my first time building a PC. Puro laptop lang kasi ako lagi. May mga PC na kami before pero pang family use lang and yun yung mga bundle na na nabibili.

Limited budget lang din muna ako for now around 25-30K for System Unit only. So far puro online palang ako nag iinquire and hindi pa sa mga physical stores.

Been doing my research online and the specs I have come up to are the following. I'm not sure though if this is actually achievable with my budget but my research indicates na pwede siyang ma-achieve if maghahanap talaga ako.

CPU:AMD Ryzen 5 5600G —or— AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT (Tray Type / MPK version)

CPU Cooler: Any reliable budget air cooler (e.g., DeepCool AG200/AG300 or Thermalright equivalent if using a bare Tray chip)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M-K —or— MSI B450M-A Pro Max II (or any solid budget B450M / B550M board in stock)

RAM: 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz (Must be a single stick for easy upgrades later)

Storage: 512GB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD (Kingston NV2/NV3, TeamGroup MP33, or similar reliable brand)

PSU: 550W or 650W 80+ Bronze Certified (e.g., MSI MAG A550BN/A650BN —or— Cooler Master MWE V3 Bronze)

Case: Any budget Micro-ATX Mesh Case with pre-installed fans (Keytech, Inplay, or 1stplayer)

  1. Ma aachieve paba to ngayon with 20-30K budget sa mga may experience ng mag build? May tropa ako na nakabuild ng ganto specific na specs around 23k lang nuong 2023 ata. Binalikan ko yung store pero nasa 30k plus na ang offer and A520M na yung motherboard. Tumaas daw prices ng parts due to AI since November.

  2. Can you recommend stores where I can buy parts that have fair prices if I will build this myself?

  3. If not, any store recommendation that can custom build? May mga napagtatanungan kasi ako na nag bibigay ng offer 25-30K for Ryzen 5600G with monitor and peripherals kaso yung motherboard kasi talaga is A520 and base on my research hindi siya ideal for upgrade.

  4. If you have any suggestions and want to correct me, specially sa mga may experience na, please feel free since my knowledge is base on research online only and ibang iba yun sa real life experience ng nakagawa na. Also, I would like to take this experience as a learning path.

Thank youu!! 🙏🔥
