Intel Enthusiast Gaming Rig


I really don’t know why they call it enthusiast gaming rig, but maybe because of freaking high budget they use for some reasonable (high end) additional parts for this rig. But it worth the bugs you spend on the pricing over $1300 bugs (maybe about RM6+++). A little bit unreasonable but the specs are good, with a hell lot of researching, I create two kinds of high-end gaming rig with Intel and AMD core inside each of them. Thanks to PCWizKid’s, I can search for some of the most wanted hardware out there for these enthusiast rig, which PCWizKid’s describe it on the net. Maybe my specs have nothing different compare to the site specs, but I might add or change some on certain hardware to satisfy my needs as well as yours. If you want to look at the original specs, go to the PCWizkid’s Tech Talk forum and get their PC configuration on their site.

Moreover, the price didn’t come from me, but from the list I gathered from the top shops of affordable prices internationally (mostly from Plaza LowYat and the net). So don’t blame me if you don’t get the same price as listed. So expect off budget. The hardware components are some of the premium parts which are more expensive than the mid type of gaming rig. This is because everything on this premium hardware can cost extra bugs.

Crysis




It took me weeks just to write this review, because right I have my own issues. But hell with that, today I’m going to do a review on Crysis. Yes, the 1st one on the Crysis series. Its been out for years now but the game is just one of the most stunning games I’ve ever seen. Oops, correction on that, we’ve ever seen. Solid detailed weapons, intelligent AI’s, and vast open level designs. On top of that, with the nano-suit powers, the game made an impact that this one is the most or more entertaining ballistic FPS in some time. (Because I still remember every bits in Crysis after 3, no, 4 years after its released date).

Thumbs up for Crytek, the developer of Crysis franchises, they figured out how to create an outstanding story that helped immerse us into a “realistic” and booming near-future. The game features every bit of details, from the characters voice acting, game cut scenes that is well designed, and the aliens that are trying to rip you to pieces are truly dangerous as Crytek use powerful smart AI system that never let you down on any action within the game. Crytek put us into one of the character POV to make us understand the reason, the pain, and the effort they pushed into this action packed game as it helps the game progress even better, forward into the next action. All of this made a gamer like me appreciate the effort Crytek put inside this huge FPS.
