### Budget PC Build Recommendation Under ₱20,000 PHP (September 2025)

Building a PC under ₱20,000 in the Philippines is challenging in 2025 due to rising component prices and inflation, but it's doable for a solid entry-level setup focused on productivity (e.g., office work, web browsing, light multitasking, and online learning) with light gaming capabilities (e.g., older titles or esports games like Valorant, League of Legends at 720p-1080p low-medium settings). For modern AAA gaming, you'd need at least ₱30,000-40,000.

The best approach is an AMD APU build (processor with integrated graphics), as discrete GPUs eat up too much budget. This setup is upgradable—add a GPU later when your budget grows. Prices are approximate based on current Lazada, Shopee, PC E×ρréšš, and EasyPC listings (as of late September 2025; check for flash sales or bundles to save ~₱500-1,000). Total: ₱18,950 (leaves room for shipping or tweaks).

#### Recommended Parts List

Component	Model/Specification	Estimated Price (₱)	Why This Choice?
CPU	AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (6 cores/12 threads, Radeon Vega 7 iGPU)	6,500	Excellent value APU for multitasking and light gaming (up to 60 FPS in esports). Handles productivity like Google Workspace or Zoom effortlessly. Outperforms older Ryzen 3 3200G.
Motherboard	ASRock A520M-HDV (AM4 socket, mATX)	3,200	Reliable budget board with good VRM for the 5600G. Supports future upgrades (e.g., Ryzen 5000-series CPUs). Avoid cheaper A320 for better PCIe lanes.
RAM	TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16	1,800	Dual-channel 16GB is essential for smooth multitasking; 3200MHz speed boosts iGPU performance by ~20% in games.
Storage	Kingston NV2 500GB NVMe SSD (PCIe 3.0)	1,500	Fast boot times and app loading for productivity. 500GB fits OS, apps, and some files—add a HDD later if needed.
PSU	Cooler Master Elite V3 500W (80+ certified)	1,500	Efficient and reliable for this build; 500W gives headroom for future GPU upgrades. Non-modular to save cost.
Case	Montech Air 100 ARGB (mATX, tempered glass)	1,800	Good airflow with pre-installed fans; budget-friendly with modern looks. Includes ARGB for a touch of style.
Cooler	Stock Wraith s†éálth (included with CPU)	0 (bundled)	Sufficient for stock speeds; no need for aftermarket unless overclocking.
OS	Windows 11 Home (USB key or free Linux alt)	2,650	Essential for productivity software. Use Ubuntu for free if budget-tight.

Total Estimated Cost: ₱18,950

#### Performance Expectations

• Productivity: Handles Microsoft Office, video calls, web tabs (10+), and light photo editing smoothly. Boot time ~10 seconds.
• Gaming: 40-60 FPS in light games (CS:GO, Dota 2) at 1080p low. For heavier titles like Fortnite, drop to 720p medium. Not for 1440p or ray tracing.
• Benchmarks (based on similar 2025 tests): Cinebench R23 multi-core ~8,000 (great for the price); integrated GPU scores ~1,200 in 3DMark.

#### Shopping & Assembly Tips

• Where to Buy: Lazada/Shopee for deals (e.g., PC E×ρréšš bundles on Lazada often discount mobo+CPU). Physical stores like EasyPC or PC Worth for inspection. Compare via PCPartPicker (import PH prices manually).
• Assembly: Easy for beginners—follow YouTube guides (e.g., "AMD APU build 2025"). Takes 1-2 hours; no soldering needed. If unsure, pay ₱500-1,000 for shop assembly.
• Upgrades Path: Slot in a used GTX 1650 (~₱5,000) later for better gaming. Board supports up to Ryzen 7.
• Alternatives:

- Cheaper (~₱15,000): Downgrade to Ryzen 3 5300G (₱4,500) + 8GB RAM for basic use only.
- Stretch to ₱25,000: Add a GT 1030 GPU (₱3,000) for 1080p gaming boost.
- If no gaming: Intel Core i3-12100 (~₱5,000) build saves ~₱1,000 but similar performance.
