The problem is, all of these upgrades are so overpriced right now due to COVID, yung silicon shortage, and among many other things. But that doesn't mean naman na you can upgrade meaningfully right now. I'm Rocky the Programmer and in this video, we're going to give you the top five most overlooked upgrade pads na you can purchase right now.

Okay, for scope lang, these items are either cheap or still available in SRP while also still being a meaningful upgrade and by that, we mean getting any of these items will significantly boost your PC or improve your quality of life sa pagamit ng PC mo. So mag-apply to dun sa mga, nagaharap ng performance boost, pero yung wala mabili kasi lahat overpriced. And also yung mga magaganda na yung PC, pero they're still looking for that something na pwede pang makapag-upno ka nilang experience. We've always said this and we won't get tired of recommending this, but if you're still on HDDs or hard-describes, it's really about tayo na yung move on to SSDs na. SSDs are way faster, more reliable and they are more durable talaga dun HDDs. You can stop watching the video now and just go ahead and buy yourself an SSD. They come in a variety of forms, but even the most basic SATA SSD is leagues better than any HDD in terms of speed. If you make it your boot drive, meaning the drive where ko nasan yung OS mo na ka-install, you're going to have literally boot times in seconds and the overall OS will be smooth and snappy. Sobrang iba nung experience talaga niya. You can also combine SSDs and HDDs. Get a lower capacity SSD, say about 250GB as your OS drive, and get a 1TB hard drive as your other drive para sa mga pictures mo, movies. You won't ever go back to HDDs pag na-experience mo na yung speed ng SSDs. So SSDs range from 3,000 pesos up to 12,000 depending on the spec and the capacity. Just make sure you're getting one that has a DRAM chip, as DRAM-less SSDs while cheaper are more prone to failure and are generally slower. So upgrade number two, switch to a mechanical keyboard. If you're still using your office source membrane keyboard, do yourself a favor and switch to a mechanical keyboard ASAP. We can't recommend this enough. You know, I've been a fairly recent MKB convert or mechanical keyboard, and the quality of life improvement is comparable to an SSD upgrade. MKBs are smoother, have a more consistent feel, and are just all-around better keyboards thanks to the mechanical switches. I really just can't go back to the gooey, marshy and consistent feeling of membrane keys. That consistency will also save you from wrist injuries and hand strains. Remember, 90% of the time you work, you're using your keyboard. Other than your chair, that's the most interactive item when you use your PC. I would say that the improvement is comparable to running on a track in field oval while wearing steel toe construction shoes versus wearing an Adidas Ultra Boost. Ganon siya ka drastic. Now, there's a stigma around MKBs that makes them seem like a luxury elitist item that is only for the snobiest, richest bourgeoisie. And that's just not true. Mechanical keyboards come in different configurations and in turn different prices as well. A decent mechanical keyboard can be had for as low as $2,500. Now, the price goes way up as you add more features like RGB, better keycaps, or more solid bass, et cetera. But that's up to you. I'm currently using a GMMK TKL. I bought it for $6,000. It's got RGB and modular switches and the caps are PBT which just means they're more durable. All of the benefits I've said so far can be had by even the lowest-pect mechanical keyboard. There's another myth that all mechanical keyboards are noisy and are for gamers only. That's not true. Yes, the most popular switch, the Cherry MX Blues, are what we call clicky. But there are a ton of other switches all having different types. Clicky, linear, or tactile, and actuation forces and points. For Jay, who is a gamer, he prefers the clicky blues. I, on the other hand, prefer browns as I am a light typist. There's a plethora of switch and cap combinations out there that you can find specifically for your needs and preferences. Upgrade number three, grab a mouse that fits you. Now, there are a lot of mice out there with all the bells and whistles, macros, high DPI, RGB, ultra lightweight, and all those buzzwords. Don't be swayed by the specs, though. Get a mouse that feels good and fits your hand. Don't mind that it only has 8,000 DPI and not 25,000. The most important thing here is that you get a mouse that won't hold you back and won't injure you as you use it. Take note of the weight, the profile, the shape, the click feel, and the surface paint, how it glides when you move it and that's very important. And finally, read reviews for durability. I'm personally using a Deathadder Elite and it's around 3,200 pesos. It's the perfect mouse shape and wait for my hand. But now I'm thinking of replacing it since it's getting double-clicking issues now. I used to have an MX Master but it also broke and that goes for around 6,000 pesos now. So yun, the Deathadder Elite hindi naman siya yung sobrang ganda no spec. Like, actually isang action sa mga like mid to high-end range. Hindi naman siya super high-end and mas marami talagang better specs sa kanya. Pero yun talagay yung maganda sa hands ko. So that should also how you look at getting a mouse. Ano yung pinakaokay sa hands mo? Ano yung pinakaokay yung feel? And yun, wag lang kayo magpadalakong baga dun sa numbers or dun sa specs. Upgrade number 4, look for your end-game monitor. Similar to gaming mice, monitors have had buzzwords and silly marketing from outrageous contrast ratios to unrealistic response times. You really don't have to deep-dive into these specs, however. What you want to do is find a monitor that reproduces the best image and experience for your use. And remember, whenever you use your PC, it's the monitor that you are looking at. So if there's anything that's going to benefit from an upgrade, it's the thing that sure I see 100% of the time. It's time that you get yourself and it's in monitors that we actually recommend you splurge a bit because having a really good monitor makes all the difference. We've reviewed quite a few monitors here in the channel. There's even one of Anton's where I think he kind of forgot the main selling point of the monitor because he was so blown away by the picture quality. Good monitors start at around $17,000 and above. It's a bit pricey but we do think that it's worth it. If you're a competitive gamer, go for a monitor with a T and panel so you'd have lesser input lag and faster response times at the expense of image quality. Pero hindi mo naman ngayang aisipin kasi kung maganda ba yan kasi all you want to do is win if you're a competitive gamer. Pero if you're a gamer naman who wants to be immersed looking at the site smelling the flowers, get a 1440p 27 inch VA panel with high refresh rate. That would be even more expensive if you handle 1440p you'd never go back to 1080. Trust me. If you're a multimedia professional or just an all-around movie file get a 34 inch IPS 4K monitor. Look for specs like Adobe or sRGB 100% color support for professionals or HDR support for media consumption assuming of course that you have content with HDR. Upgrade number 5, here what you've been missing. Whether you're a professional from home right now or a gamer trying to rank up on your current game we can all agree that we can never pay too much for great audio and luckily we don't have to. If you're someone who loves listening to music while working or a gamer who's about to play Red Dead Redemption 2 for the very first time or just someone who's going to binge watch Loki a decent pair of headphones is a must. It's almost half of the experience. It's about time that we move on from our beat up, barely working earphones with the horrible mics that came free from our phones years ago and get yourself a real headset. You know, decent headsets go for around 2000 up to 10,000 or more depending on the brand and the features like wireless connectivity RGB, noise cancelling, etc. The highlight of this upgrade though is the mic. Having the ability to communicate clearly whether at work or with your squadmates in your game is such a game changer. Actually, yun nga yung parang nagpurs talaga sa akin to to play with my friends kasi mas maganda na kawa larumi mga friends mo tapos nakadiscord kayo and you can really cooperatively play kaya ano pa ang mga game yun. I'll just be ever in your favor. Ren, pasok ako din sa ano. Bokopasok pa rin actually so like chill na. Let's go. No guys, no guys. Lapit na to. Touch it. Dalawa pa. Sa nalang kayo ako. Ayun. Good job. I personally use this mh630 actually 670 to pero yung 630 na ginagamit ko halos pa reo din pero wired yun. It's surprisingly good and in fact it's such a great product and yun yun reason ko kong bakit ginawa akong fifth upgrade. The ear cushions are super comfy that you can wear these 24 hours a day without hurting your ears. The build quality is very solid but most importantly the audio is superb for around 2500. This headset is just so good. So yun na yung 5 pero mayro pa tayong honorable mentions kasi hindi namin na talaga masali kasi nami. So number one get a decent chair. I reviewed a few here in the channel make sure it's sturdy, adjustable and comfortable. Also consider getting a DS4 or Xbox One controller for your PC. So you can play a broader spectrum of games. Hindi ka lang puro FPS like fighting games or arcade racing games. Makakalaro ka nung ganun. Kami currently pinakaka-addikan namin ngayon dito sa hardware sugar yung brol hala and it's just, talaga for me impossible to play at a keyboard. Pero si Ryan for some reason yun mouse yung gamit niya sa fighting game. Also consider getting a decent desk mat. Your desk will instantly look better in your mousing event smoother. Ako ginagamit ko yung, anong ginagamit ko? Yung sapatag and sobrang ganda nang quality niya in ang ganda lang designs and yun marami kang papapagpili ang designs. Talagang ma-personalize mo yung space mo. Support local. And finally consider changing your case. Sometimes all you really need is a visual upgrade to make things fresh again. Di mo naman kailangan talaga mag-upgrade. Pero gusto mo, siyempre na maging exciting ulit na tignan yung PC mo. And changing a case especially kung medyo outdated na yung case mo. It's a really great way to freshen things up. So anyway if you like the video please like it.
