I’m addicted to downsizing my system unit, lol. From 29L to MFF 17L, now 10.8L. Gusto ko sana mag‑8L kaso kailangan ng specific GPU model (Inno3D 5070 Ti X3).

Some of the parts were purchased last year from my previous mATX build; thankfully, I managed to finish it before the RAM & storage crisis. Total price is 87.5k

Planning to buy a controller for casual gaming.
Which is better po for its price? Im on a budget. Tyia

My first build! I've been using an old gaming laptop which can't keep up with modern games. After saving for a PS5 and see the prices go higher, I decided to just build a PC. To save some money I bought a relative's old unused PC to harvest some very expensive parts in today's market.

Shoutout to amanastronaut for the build tutorial. I think I did well with cable management. I'll find out how to address the RGB in a bit (sorry for the rainbow flashbang lights).

I tried to go for a white minimalist build on a budget. Some parts are bought from FB marketplace

GPU: XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 16gb White

Hope you all like it!

Sharing my little secret. Stumbled upon a fairly recent reddit post talking about how cheap AMD GPUs were in Japan cuz everyone there seems to be Nvidia brained. Checked out Amazon Japan and, lo and behold, totoo nga.

Purchased this nung Amazon JP Prime day (July 10-13) for around 94800 JPY, which, at the time of purchase, was roughly 36k PHP. Had it shipped to PH via freight forwarder (KangoExpress) for another P2k PHP, rounding out the total to around 38K PHP.

May sales tax na yan (had it shipped to a warehouse within Japan kasi). Tax free price was even less, mga 85k JPY lang, or around 32k PHP.

Locally, the same GPU costs around 49-52k PHP.

If youre ever in Japan and in need of PC hardware, I highly suggest that you check out the PC hardware stores over there. Highly recommend Tsukumo PC Honten in Akihabara.

Will install the GPU tonight. Hopefully everything works out well.

UPDATE:

So far so good. GPU is running flawlessly. Hope this keeps up long term.

Hello, so yan dalawa ang na shortlist ko na monitor. Kadalasan ang gawa ko is video editing, content creation, casual gaming, and general browsing. Mas cheaper ng 400 yung Koorui. Base sa na search ko, ang pinagkaiba nung Xiaomi is 10bit na yung color depth tapos 400nits yung peak brightness. Di ko sure if noticeable ba yung difference niya sa 8bit and 350nits ni Koorui. Ano thoughts niyo?

Thanks!

I got this unit secondhand for ₱32,000 (Bought the 1TB NVMe SSD separately for ₱3,500), opinions?

Honestly, just wanted to give G.Skill some appreciation. This was my first RMA, and the whole process went way smoother than expected.

I bought my RAM less than a year ago, and one stick started causing BSODs. After confirming the RAM was the issue, I contacted G.Skill and had to ship it all the way to Taiwan.

With RAM prices being insane right now, I honestly expected the replacement to take forever. But nope, exactly 7 working days later, I got a brand-new replacement. 😂

Their communication was also great. They replied quickly, gave clear instructions, and made the whole process surprisingly painless.

Considering the current RAMageddon, I genuinely didn’t expect it to be this fast.

Shoutout to G.Skill. 🫡 Definitely makes me feel better about buying from them again.

Hello, been contemplating kung bibilhin ko na ba to or mag wait pa ng pay day sale since may nakita akong article about KTC na baka mag taas ang price ng monis. For those who are using this monitor kumusta ang experience?

Here is what happened:

Last July 30, I ordered a Biwin NV7400 1TB for around 5.5k using coins on Lazada. I know for a fact this is a great deal considering the current PC market prices. Everything was fine until my parcel remained at the logistics facility, and I did not receive any updates even after the guaranteed date of arrival had passed. My initial thought was that, due to the inclement weather for the past weeks, my parcel got delayed. But why did my other parcels get delivered on time even with the bad weather? It got me wondering.

So I tried to contact customer support, which is CLEO, to ask what happened to my parcel. Do take note that this is after my 3rd attempt that I got a concrete answer from CS. The first two (2) CS reps were like bots.

Anyway, here is what they said:

They said that the parcel was lost in the logistics facility. You can just check the screenshots that I attached to this post.

I find that hard to believe for a parcel to be lost just like that. I suspect that it was stolen, but what do you guys think?

With that all being said, here are my questions/concerns:

1. Will my parcel still be delivered? If yes, will it still be in good working condition, or will it be the same item?

2. Assuming my parcel did arrive, can I refuse the said parcel and return it back to the rider? At this point, I don't want my parcel anymore since it caused me inconvenience.

3. Will my coins still be refunded? Will I get all my coins back? Like all of them? If yes, when? I know the CS said it will, but I won't believe it until I see it.

4. Will my order be automatically cancelled, assuming it will not arrive anymore?

5. Did anyone of you experienced this kind of situation before? Is there anything else I can do to know the status of my parcel/order?

Furthermore, the only good thing that I have done is setting the mode of payment to COD. Thank God I did that, or else I would have also worried about my money.

That is all I can say right now. What are your thoughts on this? Hoping no one would experience this kind of situation that I encountered.

P.S. If you know any good SSD deals, whether it is bnew or 2nd hand, please let me know. I need storage since mine is almost running out. :)

Question guys magpapalit ng psu Msi mag a750bn. Normal ba na kulang ng dalawang pin yung sa 20 pin portion? And if hindi, okay pa rin ba siya iplug sa board? Thank you.

Edit: hindi lang pin yung wala, mismong wire po. Bale total of 18 wires lang siya.

This is my first time trying to build a pc so if theres anything you wanna say abt it or point out go ahead. I think its gonna be around 80k to 85k.
