Need comments on my gaming rig build

pikoman — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 20:34:12 +0800

Hey guys I will be building a new gaming desktop soon (when I have enough cash). I need your comments on the specs I am planing to build for my rig. I have problem deciding on which GPU to get, It's between the Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 or Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC. I know the 6870 is RM 100 - 150 cheaper than the 7850. Just want to know if it is worth it to spend the extra ringgit to get the 7850. I Plan to play current and upcoming games. Thanks for any comments from all sifus out there. Here is my rig specs:

MotherBoard: Asus 86Z68-V LX Intel Z68 (Already bought for RM280)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K (not yet bought, need price for this item)
RAM: Patriot G2 Series 8GB DDR3 (1600 Mhz) ( Already bought for RM 100)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 or HD 7850 (not yet bought, need price for this item)
Hard Drive: Western Digital 500GB SATA 3 (not yet bought, need price for this item)
PSU: CoolerMaster GX Series 650W (I know PSU is very important, so I need recommendation for a better PSU preferbly not more than RM300).
Casing: CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advance (any recommendation for casings with dust filters are welcomed)
Monitor: Any 23" 1080p monitor will do.

Thanks for your comments!

Need som advice

Hi, I have a problem here that I need advice from anyone who can help, (be it stupid advice or good one) just spill it out. I just graduated from an oversea university and recently came back to malaysia. I have this crush on this girl which I met 4 years ago, we were college buddies and we knew each other for about 2 years before we both went overseas to continue our studies (she went to a different company than mine). It was really unfortunate as I have feelings for her. As I was studying overseas for 2 years, Instead confessing to her and start a long distance relationship, I decided to wait for both of us to graduate and settle back in Malaysia to do the confession. So I tried to maintain our friendship relationship through online chatting. When we both graduated and came back to Malaysia, after meeting each other for the first time after 2 years overseas, our face to face conversation was abit akward... still I went on to confess my feelings for her after the first meeting. She seems shocked that time and she didn't reject my confession nor did she accept it. She told me she was happy and that is all. So I assumed she was interested, but the next time we met face to face, our conversation was even more akward and the next day she told me that she is not ready for a relationship and we should just be friends for now. I feel that she is just not interested in me and it is not that she is not ready. So what should I do now? Keep waiting for her as I have waited for 4 years! Or what? FYI I dont have much female friends lol, and my job field do not have much female colleagues! Need advice from all you relationship 'sifu's out there!...
