suggest me new rig

Archaven — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 00:52:03 +0800

hi looking for a complete new rig before SST. will SST impact the PC hardware prices much?

my budget is 5K but maybe can top up few hundred more is ok.

my preference is intel but if amd has more bang for bucks and has no issues with games, then is ok for me too.

plan to reuse the following (not sure if still applicable on some parts):

1. corsair neutron xt 480gb sata 3
2. corsair v1000 modular psu
3. dell u2713
4. keyboard & mouse (logitech g710+ and razer chroma)
5. creative x-fi elite pro

i'm out of touch with the PC for quite some time. wanted to go for water-cooling and for GPU looking for at gtx1070ti or gtx1080. if gpu too expensive for the 5K budget can exclude the gpu. is it wise to wait for 1170 first or is a good time for it? for water-cooling have no idea on the installation. should i go seek a shop which is better?

Might and Magic X Legacy

Archaven — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 14:34:43 +0800

Haven't seen a post on this yet. Here's the news:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/03/22...unced/#comments

Official Page:

http://might-and-magic.ubi.com/mightandmag...game/index.aspx

The screens are freaking pretty yo .. Hopefully the world is big and open-world? I hope Ubisoft don't drop the ball stating it as F2P or MMO later.

It's developed by Limbic.. a german developer. Not sure how good they are but it's pretty refreshing news. You know you been too tired of Ass-ed Creed..

Wildman

Archaven — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:16:33 +0800

Basically and honestly i'm not very confident on this game. Not even sure if it's good or even can ensure you that the game could even be released.

If anyone actually followed the Wildman Kickstarter.. Gas Powered Games actually pledged for 1.1M for this game. They are basically in a very bad condition and have basically laid off 60% of their entire team due to economic downturn or something. The last they've been working on Age of Empires Online (which i'm not a fan of any MMO or F2P) and i didn't really bother.

The obvious problem is that they announce the Kickstarter project earlier and few days later laid off almost entire team. And most thought this is like a quick cash grab cheat or something.

Here's the link to the Kickstarter page:

It's quite an emotional and difficult time for Chris Taylor and his company (which he has established it for 15years). If you did worked on your own business or something and after soo many years (15 years of effort, sweat and money.. and everything has to come to an end..) you will basically understand what i mean.

If you have played Dungeon Siege 2 which i found quite nice and interesting (party-based action RPG) and fun and also like the Supreme Commander series (which i've never played and many liked it). So you could basically help share or even pledge to help them to survive this difficult time. Chris Taylor has explained in the video that whether he should just close down or continue..

So you can judge with your compassionate and pledge how much or share this news to as many as possible. I'm looking forward to help them.. and hope they could reach the 1.1M goal though. Even Wildman could turn up a sucky game but at least you help a developer that used to make a game that you have enjoyed playing it many years ago.

I've not pledge in a KS before.. If anyone can help me it'll be nice

I was delighted to hear announcement for the Might and Magic franchise. Finally after so many years of waiting for a reboot of the franchise and now we have this?

I'm honestly quite disappointed. Seems that Ubi has joined the Diablo 3 band-wagon of micro-transactions?

[WTA] Upgrading PC

Archaven — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 10:48:37 +0800

Hey guys.. My current rig can be seen in my signature.. The rig is around 4-5years old now. I'm looking to upgrade to a better rig.. at least able to play the latest state of the art games like RAGE, SKYRIM, DIABLO3, WITCHER 2, etc.

Intel C2D E6600 (B2) 3.30 GHz cooled using Xigmatek HDT-S1283
Kingston Hyper-X DDR2-1066 4GB RAM
Gigabyte EP43-UD3L
CoolerMaster SilentPro M 850W
ATI HD4850GS
Creative X-Fi Elite Pro
Dell 2007WFP 20" Ultrasharp LCD monitor

I believe i can still retain my monitor, soundcard and PSU. Not sure if i can retain my RAM or my Xigmatek cooler.. Definitely i will have to change my CPU and motherboard for sure. I believe minimum are 4cores processor now.

Please share your most humble suggestions. Thanks in advance.

FRP Fiber Reinforced Plastic vs PU Poly Urethane

Archaven — Sun, 16 May 2010 19:51:24 +0800

Hi all.. Sorry i can't find any existing topic on this, please direct me if one exist. Thanks

I'm interested in installing bodykit for my future dream car .. but i'm a little confused on which bodykit material is better? Some of the forumers who are selling+installing bodykits seem to say FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) are better but when i performed some basic search on google and visited some forums... Some actually mentioned PU (Poly Urethane) seems to be a better material for bodykits.

Appreciate all of you sifus enlightenment and which material did you actually preferred and installed/using currently.
