Angry for what, go and get replacement from distro lah. Got warranty use it nia. Anw, why even go for Palit and Thermaltake when there are the go-to-brands like Gigabyte/MSI/Asus and FSP/Seasonic/Superflower out there

need cpu and motherboard. because the exisiting one is dell and it gives alot of problem.

Basically reusing psu(i give him), ddr3 rams, hdd, casing..
so only need atx or below motherboard+cpu+graphic card.. if got extra then squeeze in psu.

aiya, cannot blame your friend solely, want to blame, blame his luck

even cheap brands can last long if you're lucky and likewise, good brands can die quickly if you're otherwise
