going to build a gaming computer in Makati, Manilla, philipines

[vectoravtech]

Any suggestions are welcome, My budget is about $1,500 usd. I'm thinking I will buy all the parts and build it myself and I will be selecting an Intel CPU when I'm there.

Since I'm buying from the shops there I will be looking for basicly a board that supports I7 with usb3, 2 phase cpu, 6GB sata tranfer rate, DLNA and UHD support.
Hopefully I can find either MSI's H81M-E34 or ASUS Z87-A LGA.

2 phase cpu? You mean VRMs?

 

[vectoravtech]

Thanks Rubenclavs, thanks for the link but what about a regular company website instead of a Craigslist type board were I can actually buy brand new computer parts?

Basically yes:
this is from a website I found
(TPU

CPU performance boost
Unleash your computer's performance with a simple two-phase onboard switch or the ASUS AI Suite 3 utility. It works with the TPU chip to offer precise voltage control and advanced monitoring , enabling great freedom to adjust CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized performance in all situations.)

My friend found it as part of a bundle so the mobo was cheaper then its listed on newegg here.

Are u going there to build a computer for someone or you are Filipino?

 

[vectoravtech]

I'm from Alabama and my house will be there soon so I'm building it for myself.

@vectoravtech

It is their updated price list. The store name is DynaQuest and it has lots of branches in Manila.

If you want to visit their site, here it is: (But current price refer to http://www.tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=dynaquestpc)

You have a Filipina GF? I'm Filipino too. LOL!

I sure do. So do you know if there's a store to buy new computer parts (online or not)while in the Philipines? I was thinking just go to Megamall, Cyberzone.

My gf is also filipina but we live both in Canada

Thats great, I think cold helps preserve the body; I enjoyed living in Anchorage Alaska; by the way heres a screenshot of me using Sabayon (the version that works on Intel uses openrc). //When I find the proper post to put this screenshot later I will.// Sabayon is based on Gentoo (probably the most secure os but needing the portage to be updated regularly), the os that compiles and installs in about a week. I have to use firefox portable.exe with the preinstalled wine launcher.
To stay on Topic Cyberzone is still my best choice to buy computer parts as of now.

go to Gilmore avenue, quezon city. Thats the place I suggest. although, better if you bring a filipino friend with you to bargain because if they saw youre a foreigner, they will raise the price.

or SM is your best bet but you cant bargain price and mostly, their products on those shops are outdated.

of you search pc shops gilmore.... you will see online shops and warehouse as well

thanks Night.Fox, excellent recommendations.

@JunkBear

My GF is Filipina. But I'm Filipino as well. Is this accepted? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

@vectoravtech

Gilmore is also a good place but with dynaquest, you have already their price list so they can't raise them up if you take note of it.

 

[Ja.KooLit]

@OP,

as @rubenclavs suggested, dynaquest is also a good store. (have only heard). They can order from outside the country if you have specific items especially for wc items. My workmate, order all his WC items thru dynaquest. In this way, you dont have to deal with customs fee's if you order online outside philippines.

Yeah I guess we need to leave you some too or they will all invade Canada. Not sure I wanna hear a bunch of ladies complaining about the cold.
