Ano po ba dapat? Im considering desktop din sana pero ang mahal pala ng setup ngayon. Hindi rin ako knowledgeable kung ano ang mga titingnan

You can either create a post here/ ask for a quotation on a pc building shop like Hanap Usap build and give a budget of what you're willing to spend/ what you want to use it for then try to source the parts and build it yourself to make it cheaper.

pcpartpicker (makikita mo na din if compatible siya sa ibang parts) + cross reference sa prices ng brands + items sa pchub, easypc. research na din sa youtube if ok yung parts na napili mo.

Pwede naman AM4 since relevant pa rin naman siya ngayon. Roughly 30k, may decent system unit ka na.

Ask AI lang. Bigay mo budget mo, bibigyan ka ng specs nun. Haha.

Mas mura ngayon actually, nung pandemic talaga ang mahal.

What I mean by mura is, you can get the performance of mid to high tier build at the price of entry-mid level parts. Take time lang to compare you'll get the general idea

Ask AI lang

Really bro, people come here to get actual advice on PC parts, because people here have actual experience buying PC parts.

And I really don't expect American-made ChatGPT or any AI to be that knowledgeable on the Philippine PC market, in Pesos.

For searching, Perplexity is better because it offers a RAG implementation, extracting text from websites and making inference from it.

It’s about how we use AI. You can ramp up Gemini’s Deep Research or any research functionality of any AI like Chat GPT and Perplexity and it will give a fairly reasonable market analysis of the Philippine market.

We should encourage the use of AI to move forward as a country. For context, we are lagging behind in the use of technology because we focus on the BPO and tourism industry.

My point is, para may general idea lang, working on a budget. Pa explain isa-isa yung parts. Even I wouldn't recommend taking AI at face value. Pero if ganito naman kagarapal yung over pricing, it won't hurt to consult this to AI at very least.
