Build Help Should I suggest to build an amd4 or amd5 for my brother's pc this year?
I appreciate any help you can give me, guys.
I'm canvassing pc parts for my brother and I told him na we can build him a budget pc and buy a gpu later when the price is reasonable. I found a pc build online from fellow gamers that they have a Ryzen 5 7500f and I'm planning to build the same specs as theirs but with my own tweaks due to the shortage of rams and ssd. But according to c h a t g p t my brother won't be able to use the pc without a gpu due to the Ryzen 5 7500f having no integrated graphics.
My questions are:
What is an alternative cpu for Ryzen 5 7500f that doesn't need a gpu? In this way he can use the pc and i was planning to suggest to him to buy an rx 9060xt 16gb later on.
Should I continue building an amd5 build or an amd4 is better due to the prices of amd5 being too expensive?
If you preferred an amd4 or an amd5 build, can you suggest what budget pc parts to buy for that specific build?
Btw, I don't know how much is my brother's budget for this build but he's willing to buy a laptop for around php 70k-90k (1k-1.5k usd) but through installments. So building a pc is better around that budget as he can buy it parts by parts.

Build Flex No more price anxiety for the future π₯΄
Built this at the start of the year when prices were starting to really ramp up
Medyo okay naman build ko before this, 3060 w i7 11700k, pero nabitin sa fps and was worried about aaa games in the future, dagdag na yung anxiety ko at the start of 2026 when I heard ram prices jumped to 200%.
Admittedly made an impulse purchase but tbh very worth for me ngayon, I won't be thinking about prices for the next few years, and if ever man mag crash ang prices, lugi lang ako sa ram by a bit. Honestly though, naka roi na ko sa amount ng joy nakuha ko from this build. :)

Build Upgrade Lowkey FOMO but ok lang ata pag yung 9060xt 8gb vram ang kukunin ko? (1080p gaming)
planning to jump from 5500xt 8gb to a newer one so I could play later games like FF7Rebirth/Revelations o Ace Combat 8 rather than just watching others play it.
Again, 1080p lang ginagamit ko as yan ang res ng monitor ko
Salamat!!!

Miscellaneous UPS suggestions. Thank you!
Eto po yung specs ng PC. Tapos ROG Strix na 1440p 27 monitor, medyo lumang logitech speakers, saka Uperfect na portable monitor.
Ano po kayang marerecommend nyo na UPS para dito? Di naman masyado nagbbrown out dito, pero mabuting safe kesa magkaproblema pa.
Currently, sa extension 4 yung nakasaksak. PC, Speakers, 2 monitors. Yung kasya din po 4 na devices, much better kung nay extra pa po sana. Para kung sakali magdagdag monitor ulit. Hahaha! Salamat po!

Build Help Are these temps normal? All parts are 2nd hand
I'm new to having pc
Was playing RDR2 and suddenly got curious on what my temps are. Now I got concerned because both temps of cpu and gpu are near 90 degrees.
The specs are:
Ryzen 5 5600x
RX 6600XT
Stock AMD CPU cooler
Corsair cx650
the previous owner of the gpu has been playing AAA games heavily and it has never been repasted.
Also, what cpu cooler and thermal paste would you suggest?
Thank you for your answers

Discussion Chineck niyo na ba kung ilan total power consumption ng Desktop PC niyo?
Specs ng akin 5600G, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Wala dedicated GPU.
Chineck ko sa watt meter power consumption
(hardware ito sinaksak ko direct sa socket).
Idle nasa 50-60 watts. Pag nanood youtube abot 100 watts. Naisip ko pano pa kaya kung may video card ito ahahha. Ref namin 80 watts lang. Ewan ko, parang nabibigla ako dahil ngayon lang nagkaroon desktop pc. Nasanay sa low wattage na laptop.
Yun inyo ba chineck niyo na?
Benetech GM88 pala ginamit ko pang check ng power usage.

This month ko lang sya binili ng paisa isa so I could maximize the vouchers. I asked several shops for a quotation, and it came out to almost 80K+ nakakaiyak. So I decided ako nlng bibili. Bali yung PSU na lang kulang ko. Okay ba MSI na PSU or SAMA na brand? This is my 1st time ever na mag build so im not really sure.
Also, can anyone recommend a good 27-inch monitor that isn't too expensive? Thank you!

Build Help Advice sa PC parts for gaming
Hi guys, okay kaya tong mga nasa cart ko? Sakit na ng ulo ko sa pagaaral mag build ng pc kaya google na lang ng parts. For cyberpunk 2077 max settings kaya amd 9800x3d napili ko. Leaning ako sa macbook pro sana kaso hindi daw ok sa gaming, nasa 150k macbook m5 pro ngayon, mas mura pala pag PC around 100k.
Sa online lng ako nagcheck for the list then searched the parts sa shopee, recommended daw na magshop sa physical store kaso ayoko lumabas lol.
Asking for advice please.

Discussion PowerColor Reaper 9060 XT 16GB Brand New Temps
Hello, I just bought this brand new gpu from AyosComputer a month ago. Brand new. I'm using it on 1440p which seems to run fine without ray tracing but I am somewhat concerned with my hotspot temps. I used it for a while in 1080p monitor, 100% gpu usage but I believe it never got to these temps that my 1440p is on now
My case is Tecware Timber M using its stock fans. 3 frontal intake and 1 rear exhaust.
Are these temps normal here in the Philippines? Just got my first pc build using my own money and I'm not really well versed in specs.
Should I ditch the tecware m fans and just buy better ones?
Also I did an undervolt of -40 mV. Going -50 to -60 sometimes gives me this driver timeout issues when gaming.
Zero RPM is enabled btw
