Budget rig upgrade suggestion

Claire Farron — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 09:53:17 +0800

hi all sifus, currently below is my bro's humble budget rig that was suggested 2 years ago here,

CPU: INTEL CORE I3 8100
MOBO: Asus Prime H310M-K R2.0
RAM: Kingston DIMM KVR24N17S8/8 8GB DDR4 2400MHZ x2
GPU: ZOTAC GTX 1060 6GB AMP
HDD: SEAGATE 3.5' BARRACUDA 1TB
SSD: WD Green 120gb
PSU: Thermaltake Lite Power 450W
CASE: TECWARE NEXUS TG M-ATX

Been serving him well for 2 years, able to play all games mid to high 1080p with 50-60fps.

looks like with RDR2, CyberP & next gen, games gonna be demanding, even Destiny 2 (bro's most played game) with most recent update caused framerate dip down to sub 30 at demanding areas (before update was steady 60fps), so was thinking of an upgrade to still keep playing at 1080p60 mid to high. But I'm not sure if it's possible to get a worthwhile upgrade within say 1.5k budget?

Currently thinking of getting a 9th gen I5 & 1660 super, will that work with my current mobo & will the performance boost be worth it? Or you guys can suggest me any other upgrade path, like getting new mobo with Ryzen, but sticking with the 1060 for now, and upgrade to midrange RTX card late next year when they're cheaper etc. Not in rush to upgrade.

I got consider to get PS5 also once stock & price are steady and keep this rig for first person shooter & steam sale, instead of upgrading it but i was thinking how long the ps5 able to maintain steady 60fps on all it's game before it starts to age too?

Also does shops like Czone accept trade ins, eg I want to sell to my i3 & 1060 to them, they able to give discounts on my purchase?

One last thing, sometimes headphone connected to the Rig doesn't work properly like the sound does not sync with scene, need to restart PC then only will sync. Does that have to do with MOBO, OS, or the SSD used to install the OS? Was thinking to upgrade the WD green to better SSD too for OS drive in future.

Thanks!

Fresher for house?

Claire Farron — Sat, 21 Nov 2020 16:02:02 +0800

Right now I'm using one of those glade/air wick automatic freshener that sprays every few minutes. Quite good, but the sprayer would always be faulty after one or two rounds of refills, looking for alternative that's more reliable to make my whole house scented with good smell.

I read one of those scented candles is also good, and I actually do not need to light them for the scnet to appear?

I tried those "scent sticks" but the scent is quite faint.

how about those carall car freshener, is it suitable for house use?

Shopee installment plan

Claire Farron — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 23:22:39 +0800

Hi, 2 questions regarding their 0% installment plans:

1. How to know when is the payment due date each month to avoid interest charges? If let say I buy today, next payment will be due on 22 Aug is it? any payment later than that will be charge with late payment interest right?

2. My credit card limit amount will be reduced based on the item's total cost, will my credit card limit slowly increase back each month, each time I pay the monthly installment, or will the limit amount be reduced through out the installment period? means I finish pay full amount only my credit card limit will go back to normal?

How credit card purchase refund works?

Claire Farron — Sat, 14 Sep 2019 11:26:21 +0800

Hi, I just bought something online (very reputable website) using credit card and have returned it due to change of mind, successful in the request and been told it will take 14 working days to get my refund back.

So usually how do they refund back? Will they top up cash into my bank account
Or will they reduce my credit card debt total? My CC statement date is near, not sure whether I should just pay the purchase amount first to avoid getting interest or just no need pay, and credit card side will handle once the online seller refund my purchase?
