So yup, finally got my new rig on Friday.
The specs:-
- GIgabyte H170-D3H i5 6500
- Zotac GTX1060 Twin Amp
- Superflower 550W Gold Edition
- Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz 16gb DDR4
- Fractal R5 casing with additional Fractal fan
I initially wanted MSI GTX1060 Armor, but it was out of stock. I initially also wanted Seasonic X Series 650W – also out of stock. And I wanted that Zotac 480gb SSD – ALSO out of stock.
Sigh.
But anyway, Bruno came along to help me out – helping me with the transport, and also to install my two old HDDs into the new rig. Much thanks to him.
In other news, Pokemon Go! is out in Singapore! Bruno and I spent the entire day walking around Yishun to catch pokemons before we went for our Suicide Squad movie. I’m two minds about this game…. yeah it was fun catching the pokemons, it was a little surprising to see the number of people walking around looking at their phones, and also the amount of turnout at pokestop clusters (with lures on each one). It was almost like an unofficial event / gathering of sorts. But that’s where the positives end. In Singapore, it’s really too damn humid and hot to walk around. It gets very uncomfortable after awhile. And god, don’t even let me mention about the battery usage. It drains the battery like mad, because the game needs to keep running as you walk around. And the phone gets SO HOT. RIP, phone components. Maybe I should use my Note 2 strictly for pokemon go instead….?
