Heh...good. Just updated my bank book and saw the money rolling in. Even though I just splurged $150 on S.H.E concert ticket...I will not cut the budget for my new rig. $1000, reusing all the mouse, monitor, keyboard, HDD, DVD RW and stuffs. Main concern is only CPU + MOBO bundle, PSU, GFX Card and Memory...
Anyway, A LOT of stuffs are coming about. Not long ago the release of AM2, followed by the grand opening of Intel Core 2 Duo (Which cause the MASSIVE AMD price cuts). Soon after, AMD brought over ATI...
But that's only the warm up...the REAL big factor will be the impending Windows Vista release, together with Direct X10. Rumors are circulating that Nvidia will be pushing out the Geforce 8 Series in November, ATI in December, aka the first series of Direct X10 cards.
Haiz...headache. So many crap to consider. And WTF! A Window Vista Premium PC requires 1GB of RAM...what bullshit...1GB just to "start up". Vista is the ultimate resource hog...-_-Anyway, the DX10 cards will confirm be super ex when it get released, which also means the DX9 cards will all see a drop in prices.
Been reading through lot of articles about those stuffs lately (even though a lot can change in 2 months time, so I'm still not going into it yet...)
Some of my most anticipated games coming up...Spore, Medieval II: Total War and possibly Heroes V Hammers of Fate, any upcoming patches/expansion for Civ, and Railroads. Heh. Haiz...all those will require a hell of a machine though...
