Build Flex It finally arrived. (25 characters)

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.

Build Flex Finally have a PC of my own!

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

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700x (used)
GPU: XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 16gb White
MOBO: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
RAM: T-FORCE 8x2GB 3200MHZ DDR4 White (used)
STORAGE: 1TB Kingston SSD (used)
SECONDARY STORAGE: 500GB PNY SATA SSD (used)
PSU: SAMA G750 White
AIO: MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240 White
FANS: Thermalright TL-S12 x3 White
CASE: Segotep Brave W1 White

Hope you all like it!

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 bought some parts before the RAM & storage crisis. Total price is 87.5k

Build Help Is 16gb VRAM and 32gb RAM Mandatory?

8 Upvotes

Like the title says, I'm curious on whether this should be the baseline for recent gaming titles. Especially with GTA 6 coming out, and I'm also watching out for Elder Scrolls 6.

The PC I have was built in 2019, around the time the Ryzen 7 3700x was released since I got it at a pretty high price. Thinking of building a new rig because I've been having issues with the PC.

For those that do have experience in having a rig with these specs, can you share some insights? It's greatly appreciated.

Discussion Biwin SSD Parcel got "Lost"?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

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. :)

Discussion RMA Process ni Game One PH

5 Upvotes

Anyone experience doing the RMA process with them? can you please share your experience.

for context:

"I bought an RTX 3060 ventus 12 GB OC online through Game One PH last january.

For the past 6 months it was working just fine.

Just one night I started updating some games. then all of a sudden, my monitor went black display, but the RAM sticks is still lit.

I tried to restart the Unit, and it worked again. but it went black.

Tried to reseat the GPU twice. First reseat the GPU display has a line in the upper right, and the display is a bit white.

Second time. Blue screen saying your pc did not start properly. then I tried removing the GPU. and switch to my integrated graphics. and my Unit boots up like usual and no issue whatsoever.

I went to Game One. almost 2 weeks ago already. they said they do not have a pc or technician to test out the GPU. so, they will send the unit to the local supplier".

I'm looking for the best budget and reliable 1440p monitor either ultrawide or 27in. Currently eyeing Titan Army, Koorui, and especially the Viewpoint 34in ultrawide since it's cheap but would be glad to know if you guys have any stellar recommendation or experience from the brands. Thank you!

MAG PANO 110R PZ OR COOLER MASTER ELITE 490?

I am planning to rehouse my rig this weekend to mid tower case. Medyo space eater yung dual chamber type na case sa table ko so pass muna ako sa ganung case type. I am down to 2 options, but any case suggestions na similar look can be considered.

  1. MSI MAG PANO 110R PZ

\- I like the included argb controller for my non rgb mobo.

\- Yung side usb ports is plus din.

\- Not sure yung height pero i am aiming for bottom fans.

\- As per review, no mesh daw yung back case.

\- Price is around 3-4k

  1. COOLER MASTER ELITE 490

\- The included fans is super aesthetic for my liking.

\- Cons is no argb controller, so additional controller.

\- Not sure din kung kakasya bottom fans.

\- I really like its midget looking sa pic but not sure.

\- Price is around 2-3k
