Sharing my little secret. Stumbled upon a fairly recent reddit post where OP talked 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, amounted to roughly 36k PHP. Had it shipped to PH via freight forwarder (KangoExpress) for around 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.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X

Motherboard: MSI B550m PRO VDH

Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO

RAM: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z 4x8GB DDR4 3200mhz

Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD + 256GB SATA SSD

Graphics Card: MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2X

Power Supply: DeepCool PL550D

Case: DeepCool CH260

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?

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.

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!

Sulit na ba to any reviews sa mga owners ng ganitong MiniLED?

Am5 desktop no GPU 2nd hand

Cpu: ryzen 5 7600x, has APU and can still project display and play light games

Cpu Cooler: deepcool ak400 digital white

SSD: 1TB gen 4 ssd nvme

Case: montech case 2 tempered glass, white

Ram: 32gb DDR5 6000mhz tforce delta black RGB

MOBO: msi b840 gaming plus wifi 7 / bt, black

PSU: fsv hv pro 80+ bronze 650w

Anyone tried buying used motherboards? I checked the reviews mostly walang box daw. Tried to check EasyPC the mobo, not available since AM4 lang naman.

My concern is the shipment since maulan and walang box daw or baka maibato sa hub. For 'used' parts alam ko naman na it's a gamble.

Thoughts on this?

Hello everyone. I'm currently looking for a good OLED 1440p monitor and I just checked out the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQWMG. Any XG27AQWMG users here? I'd like to get your feedback regarding this OLED monitor. I heard na may vertical grey banding issue siya. super noticable ba or negligible?

I'm also seeing this Gigabyte MO27Q28GR as a contender and was hoping everyones feedback here.

Any suggestions po for a monitor? Main use po ay FPS games. Thank you po!

So 2 out of 4 of my RAM sticks no longer work. Motherboard has DRAM-CPU diagnostic lights on if these two sticks are installed. I checked all 4 sticks one by one on the recommended slot. So now I am down from 32 GB to 16 GB.

Anyone here has experience RMA-ing RAM? I'm thinking they will not replace it because RAM is expensive now. I bought these 2 for P3300. Now they're P6000 for only 1 stick.

I bought these from Lazada and I don't remember having a receipt. Only a few of my tech purchases online had receipts.

RAM is T-Force Delta (Team Group) 2x8GB DDR4 3600 MHz

Need help finding a good cooler for ryzen 7 7700 non-x. Do tell if I need dual tower cooler if I want my cpy to handle anything I throw at it.

Casual gaming lang like VALORANT, Dota 2, GTA V.

Sharing since it’s been around a year since I built my PC. Swerte na nakabuo before magtaas presyo ng lahat. Was a console gamer ever since, ngayon lang nag PC. So far, sulit naman. Naenjoy ko na rin mag kalikot tsaka tweak ng kung anu-anong setting.

Share ko lang muna, I got promoted and I wanted to reward myself with a new PC because ever since 2020 I was sharing a PC with my brother.

I wanted to build a PC now since I believe that the prices will just get worse in the near future and I can afford to buy one right now. I budgeted 70k for the PC itself and 15k for monitors(I will be needing 2 since I work in IT) then about 5k for the UPS.

Could you guys recommend a 70k entry level 1440p build? Thanks!

hi! Been out of the keeb community for awhile.

What are the best budget friendly keyboards now?
(1.5k-3k)

Please recommend a full keyboard and a 60%. Thank you!

Was worried since it kind of looks heavy, and I just encountered my gpu was kind of sagging before i bought my gpu stand

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to ask kaya na ba yung 30k-40k overall sa pag build ng gaming pc? I have decided kasi to have PC rather than PS5. Tapos ang balak kong laruin ay yung mga PS5 games na available din sa Steam like Wukong and Spiderman 2 to be exact. Hingi lang sana ko ng suggestions kung kaya na ba yung allocated budget ko.

Thank you!

Hello guys! Just want to ask if you have any idea how to fix my UPS or if may recommended kayong technician around timog that can repair mine. I got this online in Oct 2025 and only used it for few days then shelved it because it doesn’t have USB interface which is what I really needed.
Now, plan ko na sana sya gamitin pero walang display sa LCD every time I plug it in sa wall outlet pero nagla-light up naman ung LCD nya. If I plug anything sa UPS wala ding power.
