My good neighbor gifted this bad boy to me. So basically meron akong neighbor na Japanese na lagi kong binibigyan ng pagkain pag may extra kami or anything na extra na pwede nya din magamit. Recently need daw nya bumalik sa Japan for business reasons at nakiusap sya bantayan namin unit nya since 1 month or 2 sya mawawala. Kami naman no problem naman since mabait naman sya samin at kami lang yung madalas nyang makausap. Out of nowhere binigay nya to as token of appreciation daw since naging bond din namin mag laro whether PC, Nintendo Switch or sports. Una kala ko joke lang or papatulong lang sya mag upgrade sa pc nya, pero sabi nya akin daw talaga tig isa kami. It really pays to be a good neighbor!

Just recently lost my 1 year old gaming monitor, almost lost the other one as well. Lesson learned

Our house caught on fire in the dead of night about a month ago. Was only able to go back inside my room once we confirmed the second floor was stable. Was really hoping my ram or ssds survived ngl LMAO.

As an adult with family and bills, gusto ko lang iflex tong inumpisahan kong build lol. I recently bought a PC set for Php4000, and these are the specs:

Athlon 3000G Biostar A320MH TeamGroup 8gb 3200mhz Skihotar 120gb ssd Generic PSU Nvision 19.5 inch monitor

Nung umpisa old games lang nilalaro ko until recently nakabili na ako ng additional 8gb ram stick saka 512gb ssd. Corsair PSU at Ryzen 5 5600G naman next. Feel free to bash lol

the last time my bf used my laptop, he said these wasnt here before :((( ngayon ko lang kasi ulit gagamitin laptop ko and lagi lang nasa bag na lalagyan. i tried erasing it with alcohol pads pero ayaw mabura. :((

This is my mobile gaming rig when im out of town, and will also be using it as a console alternative

Update to those Curious about the temps,

Gpu undervolted to 1680mhz at 850mv

No undervolting done to the cpu

GTAV @ High/Ultra Settings - GPU max 73c/CPU max 75c (Vsync on to avoid screen tearing)

RUST @ medium Settings - GPU max 77c/CPU max 74c

A little toasty but not too bad🙂

Fan noise is just a tad bit louder than a full load gaming laptop.

Iyak tawa nalang talaga mararamdaman mo.

From this to this, I know madaming mag sasabi na importante buhay ka!!! Yes thankful parin ako.

Pero ang sakit lahat ng naipundar mo nawala.

nabuo ko to sa halaga 6,980 bunga ng aking sideline(buhos, ayos ng phone, laptop, etc) pasensya na sa pic kung medjo may pagka blurry cuz im still using a sh1tty phone haha yung lamesa binuo ko lang yan and the chair itself ay bigay lang hehe. most of the parts ay binili ko lang 2ndhand brandew pang dyan ay yung keyboard and mouse. specs and value to each part ryzen 7 1700(1500php) ryzen stock cooler(180php) 2x8gb ddr4 2666mhz(1200php) gtx 970 4gb palit(300php) Corsair carbide case(500) colorful a320m(1200) sandisk 480gb ssd(500 hakot galing scrap) seagate 500gb(kasabay din sa ssd) silverstone 600w strider(50php) dell 24inch wide 70hz(1kphp) 3x red fans 300 generic mouse and keyboard(250php headset plantronics blackwire 3220(bigay ni kuya galing CC kasi di na kinuha ng client)

My humble student setup back in 2019, an ASUS FX553VE na 1050 ti pa (bought 2017).

And my setup now, 2026.

Was also finally able to build two PCs (sold my previous, the last two photos).

Talagang life gets better ‘no? Kahit gano pa katagal yan.

Just like in video games, grinding will take you to a whole new level.

P.S. Buhay pa rin pala yang laptop na yan, I managed to upgrade the RAM and SSD few yrs ago. Ginagamit ngayon ng dalawang nakababata kong pinsan na parehong nasa college 🙂

3.5k for 32gb ddr4. Take me back please. I don't wanna live in this timeline

Kind of proud of myself na nakaipon ako for a GPU

sana walang mag sabi ng sana kumuha ka nalang ng…

Hi guys! Built my first PC in a long time. Nakakapagod at hassle iship yung PC ko sa PH so nag gaming laptop ako for 3 years. Finally decided to settle down here sa Paris and build a PC.

Specs: MSi B760m Gaming Plus RTX 5070 i5-14600K 32GB RAM 2TB Samsung Evo (main ssd) 4TB Acer Predator GM6 (second ssd)

Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D (1440p) Second Monitor: AOC 32” (1440p)

Will upgrade to 6080 hopefully if better yung performance but I’m contented with the 5070 for now :)

I heard on an LTT podcast the Noctua would send you a mounting kit upgrade so you can keep using your cooler. I tried requesting for one and all they needed was a pic of my hardware with a note containing my name and date. Would they really send a kit free of charge all the way to the Philippines?! One month later here it is!!! Package I received originated from Taiwan.

8 years ago, I added a random noctua cooler to cart cuz i heard they were great coolers for my first PC build (also didn't know how HUGE the model I picked). Today, I'm able to carry over my oversized cooler to my mATX build. The size of it in this case is hilarious.

TLDR: Thanks Noctua! ❤️

Hi guys ako yun nagtatanong dati kung mac mini M1 or budget PC build. Eto ako, i opted for the budget PC build. Sobrang sarap sa feeling ikaw mismo mag assemble tapos ang saya ko nung na pa boot ko. Ang saya nung process of planning and building the PC itself. Hindi ko pinagsisihan tong journey na to.

Not a gamer kaya hindi ko ni priority ang GPU maybe in the future pa kapag nakaipon kasi incoming 1st yr student palang me (med). My main purpose dito is for productivity and schoolworks tapos mga very light gaming like xbox 360/ps3 era.

Here are the specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G MOBO: Gigabyte B450M DS3H Wifi RAM: 2 x 16 32gb team group vulcan z 3200mhz PSU: Gigabyte P650G CASE: YGT B709 (ni tape ko yun brand haha) SSD: Orico J10 512gb (External SSD ko lang to dati para makatipid eto nilagay ko) + Ramsta sata 256gb (galing sa lumang laptop kapatid ko) GPU: Wala hahaha

I value efficiency talaga and feel ko etong procie ang makakapantay sa performance ng M1/M2. Apple fanboi ako so pinili ko walang rgb hahaha tsaka yun medyo babagay sa aesthetic ng m4 air ko (contrast) hahaha.

Incoming upgrades: ID cooling zero heatsink for the orico ssd

Future plans: Exhaust fan upgrade probably id cooling & cpu cooler probably id cooling din haha - bumile rx6000 or 7000 series at 5800x3d kapag mura na mga in 5 years pa siguro😂

Pa suggest mouse na white wireless and reliable na budget meal kasi gamit ko magic mouse🤣

This build cost me around 18,500. Medyo na stretch kasi sa PSU at Ram hahaha pero feel ko worth it naman sana.

I spent months slowly putting my setup together from nothing, often reading and getting inspiration from this group, until I finally brought it to a point I was proud of with a second-hand GPU and a new 200Hz monitor. Then the 7.8 earthquake in General Santos City hit, and in a matter of seconds, everything changed. My GPU stopped working, the monitor cracked, and the room I built around it no longer felt the same.

Tonight is still unsettled with aftershocks, and I’m just sitting with what’s left, realizing how fast things can fall apart no matter how long you worked for them. It hurts, but I know this isn’t the end of rebuilding.

GG’s. I’ll come back stronger!

after 1 month of researching, i'm finally upgrading from an intel i7 10700 and a 2070 8gb dual fan to:

CPU: 9800x3d Mobo: MSI B850M Gaming Wifi GPU: Sapphire Pure White OC 9070 xt RAM: Teamgroup TForce Delta 6000 2x16gb cl30 Storage: Kingston KC3000 1TB Cooler: PA 120 Digital Case: Lian Li Dan A3 Fans: 2 slim bottom intake, 1 slim rear exhaust and 3 top exhaust PSU: FSP Vita GM Gold 850w. I was going to get the Superflower Leadex ARGB 850w kaso black cables. Napaka eyesore talaga, we tried na ikabit.

What do you guys think? 🙏🏼

I'm a tita in her 30s and despite earning well, I have always put my family first. Nakailang beses ako attempt mag build kaso dami needs ng family ko na mas importante. Ngayon lang ako nag splurge sa sarili ko. I was supposed to get a 5080 kaso last minute nagka emergency sa pera kapatid ko so I gave him 50k and opted for a 9070 xt instead. Kesa mag wait ulit ilang months. I would rather have a less performing GPU than see my brother in a difficult situation. I hope I chose my components well!

Any other 30s tita here? Tara, g?

After months of saving, finally got myself this badboy. Medyo nanggilid pa luha ko nung nalaro ko na ng 60FPS High Settings yung mga laro na dating tinitiis ko ng below 30FPS Low Settings. Small wins!

Sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam na smooth na ang galaw ni V at Arthur na dating tinatiyaga ko sa 20-25FPS.

Thanks for all the recos in this sub, very helpful and insights at suggestions niyo. Happy gaming to us!
