2025 New PC Resolution (RTX 3050 6GB)

 

• CPU: Intel Core i5-7400
• GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050-6GB 
• SSD: Patriot P210 1024GB
• SSD: SanDisk SSD Plus 120GB 
• HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (2018) 
• HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB (2016)
• RAM: Samsung M378A2K43CB1-CRC 2x16GB
• MBD: Asus H110M-K

After testing GTX 1070, RX Vega 56 as my substitute GPU in 2024, I've decided to grab a new MSI RTX 3050 6GB VENTUS from CompuWay and I'm impressed that it is able to hold on to games at proper 1080P 60FPS as long the game is well optimized.

My overall DIY gaming spec is based on 2013 until 2025 where I just change PC parts that needs replacement. I hope that I can upgrade the CPU and MOBO in another 6-8 years later too! Overall, I enjoyed my gameplay at Black Myth: Wukong and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth at the FPS of around 60-80FPS.

The DIY PC Upgrade 2024

 

After more than 8 years, I have searched for used PC parts and new ones to upgrade my i5-3570 + GTX 1050 Ti into something better.

Bought several stuffs at Shopee:

• i5-7400
• H110M-K
• 32GB DDR4 RAM 2133MHz 
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
• Patriot P210 SSD SATA GEN III 1TB

And the result? I have made my cost of nearly RM1200 to do this upgrade. I'm so far satisfied with the gaming performance at AAA game titles such as NARAKA Bladepoint, Honkai: Star Rail and etc...

Will do another upgrade in 5-10 years later.

Milotic ex (SV8 Pokemon TCG's New Surprise Meta)

Can Milotic ex actually stay at Tier 2 or Tier 3? I guess it can. It works similar to control decks alongside Noivern ex. Here's a slight glimpse of the future Pokemon TCG SV8 meta!

As you can see, the text is as follows!

Ability: Shimmering Scales 
This Pokemon is immune to damages or effects from the opponent's Tera Pokemon.

My POV: This is an very OP ability as you literally blocked all the damages and effects from ex Pokemon?! That's crazy.

Hypno Slash with 160 Damage? You are able to put your opponent's Pokemon to sleep as well. That's pretty much a partial control deck which will be annoying in the meta to come.

Thanks to Google Translate, I can plan ahead to understand what SV8 to SV9 card's effect and ability easily!

Eevee has been one of the most famous Pokemon's to date since 1996's and it's a definite Pokemon choice for most GameBoy Color era gamers.
