 Sa dami-daming option sa PC building, gusto mo lang ba may magsabi sa iyo ito-going mo? In 15 seconds, ito-going mo. PSU, not-core-sare, MOBO, not-oros, CPU, AMD, GPU, not-AMD, AIO, NO, RGB, Techno, wireless, everything wireless except for one thing. But if you need to have cables, get them cost-off. Hey person, click that thumbnail. If you're intercomputer hardware, there's definitely one thing you can't avoid. Ano mo sa toto lang? Balakalan we shop na yan. Saan mo ba naanap yan? Oh, nakita ko sila kasi sa YouTube. Na-hanap mo sa YouTube. But ka tumatingin sa YouTube? Other people's opinion. This video is my way of saying, I don't give a hoot. But these are my personal choices. Starting with my choice where I got my Windows activation key. Well, lucky you! Pinakabago mo na sa CDKoffers.com. Windows 10 and Windows 11 activation codes. Legit, safe, at pinakamura. Madadilo mo morder. Hanapin ang Windows version na gusto mo. Piliin ang preferred Playpen Seton di purchase ko. But now, I found a log of my life. Dati, ing-resin walang purchase ang life ko. But now, I'm a world-class Zuba instructor. So, web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel. And ngayon ganun pa rin ako, pero activated na yung Windows ko. Kayakon nag-hanap ka ng legit. At original software. Okay, first up, in no particular order, I really like wireless. If there's an option to remove a wire, I will take it. So my personal preference is that my mouse always needs to be wireless. Currently, my keyboard is wired. But the keyboards I've been trying out lately, particularly from ASUS, have convinced me that my concerns about latency, about lag, are unfounded. And my keyboard is pretty old now. So probably maybe in a year or two, I will get a wireless one. My headset is also wireless. And if you're getting a headset, I would seriously advise you to make sure it's wireless. Time to cut the cord. Anything that can go wireless, I generally try to make it wireless. Next up, a big one in the PC space. To RGB or not to RGB. That is always the question. But as you can see behind me, I am a no RGB kind of guy. Yes, the GPU has a little RGB. It came with a GPU. I don't particularly care about it either way. I've never tried to customize it. The motherboard has some lights. The cooler I'm using has a little bit of light. But overall, I've never done the RGB aesthetic. I made no effort to kind of synchronize the lights of my PC behind me. And don't get me wrong, RGB can be cool. But it gets old fast. And personally, I've noticed the RGB setups that I like are the ones that don't use all of the colors. You can set them to monochromatic, let's say all white or all blue. Or just like a dual color scheme. So using or getting more with less. Where the PC looks cool but because of the edges of its parts. Because you know that it's running good hardware. Because you know it's running optimized. Like you got the latest drivers. You made sure you kind of tweaked a little bit the settings of the RAM and the CPU and the GPU. It looks good because you know it's running well under the hood. So for me, not an RGB guy. But if you like RGB, that's no problem. RGB is of course just for aesthetics. I think an under-appreciated aesthetic touch is getting custom cables. A while back, Cable Mod sent us. Like not just me but basically everybody in the shop. The option to have custom cables. And the one I chose was for my rig. And you can choose them like the individual strands of the MOBO and GPU power connectors. So I chose like a gray, blue, purple kind of scheme. And they still look very good. And for me, they're a subtle but clear sign that pinikisipan mo yung computer mo. Hindi pang karaniwan yung custom cables. Now you don't necessarily need to go full customization like the ones from Cable Mod. There are a lot of cable extenders that are colored. So if you just want all white for your wires or like a criss-crossing blue-black, blue-red design or things like that, there are options available. Next choice which a lot of people have different opinions about is whether you're a water bender or an air bender or are you using air cooling or are you using an AIO. Now I've tried both and long time viewers will remember how successful my mounting of a 360mm rad AIO on my current case was. And if I may say so, that was a brilliant design choice on my part. So hanggan dito si GPU, obviously datama siya sa radiator. That's why inangat ko siya. And even though... Lampas na sa case radiator. But that's okay. It'll do its job. But I have had different AIOs to 40, 360, different models, different brands on my computer. But I'm liking my current look the best. I'm using a deep cool AK620 digital. I love the digital. I love the concept that you can just take a quick glance and see basic information without having to pull up a window, without having to click anything. Just turn your eyes and the information is there. Now you can have that with an AIO of course, again with the digital line from Deep Cool and other models from other brands. But for the aesthetic of my computer, I think bagay yung AK620 digital. It's kind of like a skyscraper sprouting, rising dramatically from the motherboard. And this is really subjective. AIOs have gotten to the point where they're not that much more difficult than an air cooler. Mounting a rad is pretty straightforward. Mounting the fans onto the rad. Mounting the CPU block. It's basically as straightforward as mounting an air cooler. Maintenance also, there is no appreciable practical difference. You don't add water to an AIO. Some people do ask us about it. That's why I'm mentioning it in the video. That fluid inside the AIO is already self-contained. You don't need to add anything. So the maintenance is just like an air cooler. So you brush out the dirt that gets trapped in the radiator. The same way that you would brush out the dirt that gets trapped in the tower of an air cooler. An AIO from a good brand doesn't leak. I guess, point of failure, there is a higher chance of an AIO pump breaking compared to the fans of an air cooler breaking. And if they do break, they're much easier to replace. But again, on a practical level, we haven't seen a higher RMA rate for AIOs compared to air coolers. So this is a purely subjective opinion. I guess I'm just old school and I still prefer an air cooler if there's nothing super special about an AIO that would attract me to it. And on performance, it's not true that you need an AIO for the latest and the greatest or to keep very hot CPUs cool. I'm currently running a Ryzen 9 5900X with a two-tower air cooler and I haven't had any problems. Speaking of CPUs, the age-old debate, whether team blue or team red, I will admit to being a little team red. I like patronizing the underdog and in CPUs, I know they're kind of similar already but AMD was an underdog for such a long time that I still associate them with that position. I really appreciate that they developed the heck out of Ryzen. I mean, AM4 was such a golden age. You could get Ryzen 1000 AM4 and then technically just upgrade the CPU all the way up to the Ryzen 5000 and it would probably still be compatible with that motherboard. I mean, the AM4 ecosystem was, you know, it has so much value. It still has a lot of value now. So I really appreciate AMD for that. Unlike Intel, which likes changing up its sockets every two or three generations. Performance nowadays, they're sort of neck and neck with AM5 prices around the same as the Intel 14th gen. AMD was nicer before because, you know, they were a clear price to performance advantage but now not so much. So I admit that a lot of the reasons why I like AMD are in the past. They're not currently true anymore, at least for AM5 versus Intel 14th gen. But that's not true for GPUs. For GPUs, I prefer Nvidia. I appreciate the performance and the innovations that Nvidia is trying to bring to the space whether that is AI upscaling, the whole RTX thing in general. I mean, Nvidia is really the leader. AMD just tries to follow and perhaps unfairly because I know their drivers are better now but I was really traumatized as someone who owns hardware sugar back in the day with the 5,000 series cards ng AMD. Sobrang gulo ng mga yan. The drivers were not great. So we had customers coming back to us, complaining how come their games were crashing. And it's very hard to tell a customer but we're sorry. There's nothing we can do. The hardware seems to be fine. It's just that the drivers are crap and if the drivers are crap, there's nothing we can do. So I'm still traumatized by that. In general, Nvidia drivers are still more stable. And Nvidia really tries to swing for the home run. The 4090 is still top dog. AMD has nothing that can touch the 4090. Its latest 7900 XTX is more comparison to the 4080, the one step down card. And it has nothing that can currently touch the 4090. So I don't have the budget for a 4090. I have never bought the 90 series yung pinaka top end. But I appreciate that Nvidia is trying to push the space. For PSU, I had a Corsair for a long time. It died on me but I appreciated that I was able to use it for multiple generations. So Corsair is a good brand but actually there are a lot of other brands now that are cheaper and have the same good quality. Currently, using an FSP, we've had good experience with deep cool PSUs in the shop. Csonic is another brand that usually comes to mind for PSUs. Ok naman sila. Super flower is still underrated, still a bit under the radar. But our shop experience with them has also been very good. So there are a lot of good PSU brands that you don't need to pay the premium prices like for Corsair but you're still getting very good quality. I feel like the PSU is one of the things that people like to over complicate. I mean, they're the PSU tier lists. They have to look at specific models. For me, that's a level of OC that I don't really want to expend on a black box. As long as it's stable, as long as it's reliable, that's all I really need. An 80 plus gold fully modular PSU from the likes of Deep Cool or FSP, Super flower, buy it, stick it to your computer, forget about it. It will last longer than that computer. And the last topic for this video is another confession I have that I don't really pour over the reviews too much for my own personal build is the motherboard. Generally, I've had good experience with Gigabyte stretching back to my previous Intel build. So for this current build, I just got an X570S ultra-durable from Gigabyte. Gigabyte in general, okay naman siya for motherboards. Like, I'm not unhappy with it. For sure, the other brands are quality as well. MSI, ASUS, we sold a lot of them in the shop, generally without any problems. But personally, I just prefer Gigabyte because ultra-durable does seem to mean ultra-durable at least in my own personal experience. Now, a lot of people delve into VRM temperatures and how many chokes and how many layers. And when I review motherboards, I do find all of that stuff kind of interesting. But as an end user, a lot of the time, as long as you get a good quality board, doesn't necessarily need to be top of the line, but three-fourths towards the top of the line. Don't scrimp naman, but get a good quality board. And the build takes care of itself. I haven't had any problems with this particular build. I never had any problems over the years with my previous Intel build that also had a Gigabyte ultra-durable. And that's not even the top of the line of Gigabyte. I mean, they have the Oro sub-brand for that. I do admit some of the newer motherboards now from other manufacturers look a bit cooler. Like, in particular, ASUS always has these little nice touches which only, like, real enthusiasts so have to get their hands dirty installing things into the motherboard, mounting it into the case will actually appreciate, but I appreciate that they're there. So to be honest, this was a very stream-of-consciousness video. I just set out the topics I wanted to talk about, but I had no script for what I said about those topics. If there are any other things like you want to know about my build, what I think about brands, just feel free to ask in the comments and maybe I'll do a follow-up video. On your end, personal click that thumbnail. I hope you're happy with your PC choices or you're happy with the choices that someone else made for you when you went to the shop and asked them, hey, I need a build for gaming. I don't know too much. Can you help me? If you got it from hardware sugar, I'm almost, like, I want to say 100%, but nothing's ever 100%. If you got it from hardware sugar, I'm 99% sure that you're happy with the parts we chose for you because we really try as much as possible not to use our opinions, but to get the opinion of the user on what they will be using the PC for, what their budget is and what we can work with for that budget na quality na maasahan na di ka kakabahan sa computer na binilimog galing sa amin. Thanks for watching. Paming saan may nagtatanong kumikilala ba kami ng computer shop na trusted yung hindi ka lolo ko hin? Actually, meron kami. Full service PC store ang hardware sugar. Nagbabenta kami ng PC components. Nagbabenta rin kami ng fully assembled rigs. We clean computers. Kasama na rin yung excellent cable management namin and CPU cooler repasting sa cleaning. We also clean and repaste GPUs. Na sa makati yung physical store namin and you can also buy www.hwsugar.ph na 100% palaging up to date yung inventory dun. Kung instock yung item sa amin available yung sa site. We also ship nationwide. Thanks for watching and maybe one of these days maghita tayo sa shop.
