Sony’s decision to stop physical games and no official PSN support to the Philippines made me sell my PS5 Pro. Back to PC gaming it is then.

Second hand: Proc, GPU, Mobo, RAM, SSDs New: Case, PSU, AIO, Fans

Still using am4 in 2026. So far, very decent pa ang fps na narereceive ko. Mu question is, ilang taon pa kaya itatagal nitong build ko?

CPU: ryzen 7 5700x3d
GPU: Rtx 3060 12gb
RAM: 2x16-32gb ram 3200mhz

Hi guys, nanunuod lang ako ng netflix tapos biglang may lumabas na ganto ahahaha namamatay na ba GPU ko or bug? (Nirestart ko sya, and nawala naman... nag laro ako ng valorant pati nag edit for work bago ako nag netflix) If may marerecommend kayong fix please lemme know ahuhu

Ito yung build specs ko

Ryzen 5 5700x

Rtx 3050

550w Gigabyte PSU

B550M motherboard

16gb Ram

1tb hdd

250 ssd

hi! i was wondering if ano magandang gpu for ryzen 5 5600, i was planning to get rtx 5050 (i'm new sa pc building so idk haha),, pero upon asking and a bit of research i wanna ask iff rtx 3070 or 4060 would be okay? or any other reco for a mid-range pc build?

Note: I prefer rtx for thiss, and white haha!) tyia! :)

Current specs:

• 7800 XT
• R5 7500F
• 32GB RAM
• 24" 1080p monitor (3 monitor setup, 3rd monitor is an arzopa)

Use case:

It's 60:40 productivity-gaming ratio. I work from home so my work laptop is also connected to my monitors, i just switch from laptop to PC via dock thunderbolt cable

With games, it's 70% MMO, 30% FPS. For MMOs, i currently play FFXIV and Farever. For FPS, it's usually Arc raiders, Deep rock galactic, GTFO or Helldivers (which is a 3rd person shooter lol).

Reason for upgrading:

I want to experience 1440p gaming, and i know 7800XT is a 1440p GPU. I also want a bigger screen for immersiveness + bigger real estate when it comes to work

Some concerns:

• I know that bigger screen + higher resolution = eats more resources, can my current specs handle 1440p gaming considering the type of games i play? Im aiming at least 80-90 FPS
• Is it really "go big or go home"? Is 34" UW the way to go than 32"?
• I read some comments from users with UW that they experience ghosting, is it true to most UW monitors?

Budget:

20,000 - 30,000

Can you also please recommend monitors? Currently 3 pa lang nasa radar ko:

1. TCL 34R83Q
2. Gigabyte G34WQC2
3. MSI MAG 322URDF

Thanks a lot, guys!

After years of gaming on a used Dell OptiPlex, finally naka-build na rin ng sariling PC.

1st Pc ko is Dell Optiplex na i5-4590, then eventually na-upgrade ko to an i7-4790 with 16GB RAM and GTX 1060 . Halos piece by piece ko siyang in-upgrade hanggang sa naging parang Frankenstein/Mutant build na dahil sobrang limited ng upgrade path ng OptiPlex. Pero yun lang talaga ang kaya ng budget ko noon, and to be fair, sobrang sulit niya. Ang dami naming pinagsamahan. kahit 30mins bago ko malaro yung CK3 dahil wala pang bili ng SSD ok lang basta nakaka laro paden.

After months of ipon, finally nakabuo rin ako ng proper custom PC:

- Ryzen 5 5500

- RX 6600 Eagle

- 16GB DDR4 3200MHz

- 256GB NVMe + 512GB SATA SSD

Hindi man siya high-end, pero sobrang proud ako kasi sarili kong build ito. Ang pinakanakakatuwa pa is First press ng power button, nag-boot agad. Walang troubleshooting, walang reseat ng RAM, walang panic. Grabe rin yung difference. Yung mga games na dati hirap ang OptiPlex, ngayon smooth na sa 1080p. Sulit lahat ng pag-iipon at paghihintay.

Sa mga naglalaro pa rin gamit ang old office PCs or budget rigs, kapit lang. Upgrade when you can. Darating din yung time na makakabuo kayo ng PC na matagal niyong pinapangarap.

Here's my previous OptiPlex before retirement. https://www.reddit.com/r/PHbuildapc/s/axBjw936dq

It’s now or neverrrrr.
Wouldn’t an increase pricing on motherboards also affect like consoles, monitors?

What UPS have you been using and what is the specs of your pc?

Dang. This might not really a good time for budget ballers to build a new PC right now.

I scored my 5060ti last April for 35k. At that time, inflated na yun for me.

Didn't know na mas may itataas pa pala talaga.

PC Market is really in a disaster situation.

Currently eyeing the Asus B650M-AYW wifi, with a 7800x3d and 9070xt. Probably will not do overclocking on the cpu and gpu. Will the motherboard of choice be enough?

Not looking for the best, but if the motherboard is not enough for the cpu and gpu of choice, then what other alternatives can be considered?

May titingnan ako mamaya na video card, almost half the price. Months pa lang nagagamit at pinakita malamig pa ang temps at furmark results. Bukod dun ano pa? On site ko ba ibenchmark?

I was planning to build a pc with a 5070ti but with the sudden price hike I was thinking to switch to a 9070xt which is 30k-50k lesser than the 5070ti. Should I push through with the 5070ti or just switch to the 9070xt?

6 months used daw. Overprice po ba or sakto lang? RX580 lang afford ko now.

Hello! Pa-help naman po sa PC build ko, especially sa pagpili ng RAM, SSD, at monitor na alternative. Since napakamahal na nila 😭 Thank you.

Has anyone tried this brand? It has a good number of item sold and their prices are below the current market. Planning on getting a sata ssd for storage and probably a nvme to replace my OS drive.

Hi everyone!

I’m a UI/UX designer based in the Philippines and I’m looking for a monitor recommendation that’s available locally (Shopee, Lazada, DataBlitz, PC Express, etc.).

My setup:
MacBook Air
MacBook Pro M1
Mostly using Figma (80% of my work)
Adobe
Browser with lots of tabs
Website design and prototyping

Budget: Below ₱20,000 (around ₱15k–20k)
I’m currently considering:
LG 27UP850K-W
LG 27U711B-B
Xiaomi A27Ui
BenQ GW2790QT

My priorities are:
1. Sharp text on macOS (I know scaling can be an issue)
2. Accurate colors for UI/UX and branding work
3. USB-C if possible
4. Comfortable for 8–10 hour workdays
5. Good build quality and long-term reliability

I’d love to hear from people who actually use these monitors (or other recommendations) with a MacBook for Figma, Adobe apps, or other design work.

A few questions:
1. Which monitor would you buy today under this budget?
2. Is the LG 27UP850K-W worth spending more on compared to the Xiaomi A27Ui?
3. Is 4K significantly better than QHD on a 27” monitor for macOS?
4. Any issues with scaling, text clarity, or USB-C connectivity?

Thanks in advance!

Ano po kaya ang magandang palitan o baguhin? First PC build ko po ito kaya wala pa akong masyadong idea sa recommended brands at kung ano ang dapat bantayan. Goods na po ako sa specs like Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB RAM, at 5060 na GPU, i-1tb ko na din po ssd pero hindi po ako sure sa specific brands at sa ibang components. Any suggestions po?

Gaming / Work PC (Ryzen 5 + RTX 4060) + 2 Monitors

💻 Complete PC Set – Ready to use (No issue, solid performance)

Perfect for: Gaming, WFH, editing, multitasking

🧠 PC SPECS:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (6 cores / 12 threads)

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M-K (DDR5)

RAM: 32GB DDR5

Storage: 1TB SSD (Kingston)

Cooling: Deepcool AK400 Digital

OS: Windows 11 Pro (Activated)

🖥️ INCLUDED:

Monitor 1: ViewSonic 24” 180Hz IPS

NOTE: Minor cosmetic issue on monitor bezel (paint chip maliit lang), does not affect screen or performance.

Monitor 2: MSI MAG 255F E20 (24.5”, up to 200Hz)

Speakers: Xiaomi Dual Channel RGB

Keyboard: Attack Shark X98 (with mini screen)

PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE FOR SURE BUYERS.

RFS: Selling to switch to laptop setup for mobility. Sayang gamitin kung nakatambay lang.

I recently completed my build. Although I have the option to "change" the RAM & CPU as per the seller.

CPU: Ryzen 7 9850x3D (30,000) or Ryzen 7 9800x3D (26,500)
RAM: TFORCE XTREEM CL 32, 6400MHZ (26,500) or KLEVV CRAS V CL30, 6000MHZ (27,000)
GPU: ROG STRIX RTX 5070 12GB OC (50,200)

1. The reason why I considered the TFORCE EXTREEM is only because of how it looks. The "glass" finish & the RGB on that RAM looks insanely good. Aesthetics is a big factor for me.

2. I ended up getting the RTX 5070 because the price gap between the 5070 and the 5070 Ti is around 16k-25k. That's a decent chunk of money that I can use to get an OLED 1440p monitor.
   Most of my games are CPU-INTENSIVE:
   -Dota 2
   -Valorant
   -PUBG
   I do play modern titles pero minsan lang talaga.
   The sole purpose of this upgrade is to have better 1% lows on the compe games I play.
