Finally, I bought it on saturday. A picture are better than thousands of words, so here I am showing u guys some photos.
Oh, the spec is a bit different than I mentioned before. The motherboard is changed to a lower value 785G instead of 790GX, the RAM is value DDR3 rather than performance DDR2 and the PSU is non-modular version. I can play Crysis Warhead with graphics settings max out with no lag at all. Wateva, it's time to put this aside and concentrate for final first.

Another sem is gonna end soon...means final is approaching. But really not in such a mood now. It's really been such a loooong time since i played a proper pc game. Not to mention occasional gaming on Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, which is a medieval game. Since i burnt my laptop by heavy gaming(in terms of the games appetite on pc resources, not duration), i stopped gaming on it.
Now i'm planning to come back to the world of pc gaming. Having a plan of building a gaming rig by myself. Nothing is more excited than this for a gamer. But this isn't just my only reason for buying a new desktop, cuz after a long time swapping from desktop to laptop as my main computer, im still missing the feel of using desktop, which is more comfortable. It has a larger and better quality screen (usually laptop comes wif a lousy lcd screen...mayb bcoz mine is Dell...lol). It is especially important for long time user like me. Small screen can makes reading get fatigue quickly. Other than that, larger screen oso provide more desktop space for multitasking. Oh, the taskbar will b longer too. I usually open multiple programs and windows at once when doin assignments and reports. So, desktop also helps in my studies =)
For the old desktop, mayb i will dispose it. mayb will leave it at hometown for the little kids to abuse...it is almost unusable for me. It was my first pc...that's y i was cheated to buy this thing, slow as a tortoise (There is another 'snail' in my home) and noisy like a vacuum cleaner. The PSU had been swap bcoz of the burnt underpower, cheap, lousy, crappy PSU(@#!*&!$^). Besides, I also upgrade the RAM frm 256MB DDR to 2 pieces of 512MB and added a 160GB HDD. In the end, the half of 1GB RAM had gone to nowhere. The system load so slow even if i formatted it. And the time always reset. This really annoyed me as there is a lot of program, or even website are not able to run if the time is reset.
Forget that piece of metal. Now talking abt my future rig. I went to a few computer shops today to do some quotation for the machine. Actually i didn't plan to go there today, but was in a bad mood after the test...lol...u know wat i mean. So, here's the quotation wif spec and prices i got today, just a roughly quotation, and somemore it's still a PLAN. I might cancel it due to some reason. Any progress will update at here.
Code Name : "DeathWing" (A name of a fictional black dragon, which suits the black casing of this machine and it utilize AMD's Dragon platform)
Total......RM 3503
(P.S. Personally I think the quoted price had been pushed towards my limit. Still I might buy a new set of keyboard & mouse and it is not necessary to b too good. Anyway, it might b juz a wild imagination.)
