Just Bought a New Computer

Recently was looking for a new PC to replace my Hades Canyon which I bought in 2018. I compared quite a few places like Aftershock, Mansa, Dreamcore, Lenovo, Dell, and finally decided to buy at Sim Lim Square because it is cheaper and no need to wait for months, also to clarify, the local ones no need to wait too long, only those big brands have months of waiting time due to part shortage.

So these are the parts:

INTEL I7-11700K S$559 (wanted 11700 but no stock)

MSI H510I PRO WIFI S$235 (H7 Plus cpu cooler won't be able to fit in, blocked by the IO heatsink)

T-FORCE VULCAN 3200MHZ 2x16GB CL16 S$210

SAMSUNG 980 500GB NVME M.2 S$112

GALAX RTX3060Ti (1-CLICK OC) 8GB (LHR) 8GB S$899

COOLERMASTER NR200P WHITE S$139 (wanted the NR200 but no stock)

LIAN-LI SP750 SFX 80+GOLD S$159

CRYORIG H7 S$60 (wanted the H7 Plus but heng no stock)

SICKLEFLOW 120 WHITE LED PWM S$15 (wanted 3 but I didn't say 3 so they ended up packing only one, heng because the NR200P comes with 2x120mm fans, but now short of 1 fan which is fine, just buy at lazada if really need)

AOC 27G2 27" IPS G-SYNC 144Hz S$375 (wanted Asus 27" VG278Q but no stock, but price not very big difference)

LOGITECH M187 Red S$19 (daughter wanted this small red mouse lol)

ARCTIC MX-4 S$15 (shouldn't have bought this, the CRYORIG H7 comes with thermal paste too)

Total: S$2797


Also spent whole of yesterday just to assemble, spent too much time plug here plug there, unplug then plug again really faint, but the casing is really good and flexible.

Also wasted more time because I plugged the 10-pin into the motherboard then cannot power on, after that then realise 10-pin should plug back to the power supply. Share following picture hope it can save someone from wasting a few hours of their life.

GENERAL LTVP+ will be in effect from 01 Apr 2012. LTVP+ holders will enjoy extended duration of residency, public healthcare subsidies and easier access to employment.

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
