Two weeks ago, my 7 year old Petium 4 PC, along with my Zycel modem was struck by lightning. The moment I came back home after class, towards my surprise, the PC just couldn't work. I tried switching it on and off lots of times but it just doesn't work at all.

In the end, I gave up. I was worried over my hard disk since I have priceless properties inside it. My whole lot list of downloaded animes related files. You name it, animes series, musics, wallpapers and so forth.

I wasn't planning on getting a new one not untill middle of this year...like it or not...since my assignment was near to the due date, I had tp bear along side with the fact of getting a new PC. Sounds like I'm complaining...

Anyways, I asked my friend for some recommendations for a new PC. I did gave him the specs that my vendor recommended me in the first place. Somehow, as my friend told me, the specs that he gave me was actually a PC that was dated 2 years back and its not worth the cash of having it for RM2,650. He told me by adding another few hundred I can get a better one.

I took his advice...and guess what...

My current specs...are as follows:

Intel Duo Core System with the E6450 model series. 2.2 g.
2g of RAMS with the 800 series
Motherboard. S-Gigabyte FS 1333 series
Nvidia 9600 GT 512 MB
160g of Sata hd space
19 inch monitor
I-Cute casing cover brand
Windows Vista

Total RM 3,180.

My current PC now...is a 5 year ahead machine and I can pick any games on the market that I really want. Sadly...I managed to salvage old parts. The DVD burner and DVD player as well as my old hard disk became the secondary slave driver. Thing is...I'm not much of a PC game player and very picky on games...plus I do not know what game I should pick and where should I start from. I've been sticking a lot to fighting games like KOFS, Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur series, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantasy 12, and so forth. I played games based on storyline.

First person shooting...yes...I do enjoy them especially the MOH series. Played Allied Assault, Breakthrough, Spearhead, Airborne, Pacific Assault. Looking forward for the new Airborne series which will be released for the PC version. Unreal Tournament. Don't really like those modern tactical warfare. Even the new Command and Conquer series was a dissapointment for me...I prefer waging war with the Soviets rather than just pure Aliens.
