    [SOLVED] 192.168.1.1. in the URL window

    This should help: http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/finding-your-default-gateway/ Enter the address of your default gateway in your browser, and that should be your router config.

    New PC builder who wants pricing and compatibility advice

    You could use PC Part Picker. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/ You can select your parts and then create a custom link to your machine. There, other people can view it.

    R9 290 tri-x oc or R9 290 tri-x oc.

    If you want to totally future proof yourself, get the more expensive card. Just take a look at how much you want to spend, and what you realistically want from the card. I don't believe those games have any recommended spec lists out yet, but the 290x should be able to easily handle those games...

    New PC builder who wants pricing and compatibility advice

    That all seems fine to me, although I am not an expert. The main thing to look at when building a gaming PC, is your graphics card. You can take a look here at the R9 270x benchmarks (http://www.anandtech.com/show/7503/the-amd-radeon-r9-270x-270-review-feat-asus-his/5), and decide whether you...

    R9 290 tri-x oc or R9 290 tri-x oc.

    The 290x is faster than the 290, but depending on your usage, it may not be worth paying the extra money. Here (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-290-and-290x,3728.html) is a good article about the 290 and 290x.

    Wireless vs Wired Mouse for Gaming

    I always preferred wired devices. They are said to interfere with other signals that run on the 2.4GHz band, e.g, WiFi. Both of those mice look good, the main thing I care for when buying a mouse is the feel. If you can, go to a local computer shop to see if you can try a mouse, and then pick...

    New GPU doesn't work, PC beeps.

    I'm assuming you've looked through their support section for drivers? There may be a 3rd party one you could use. Otherwise, you may have to upgrade your motherboard.

    Is this card compatible?

    I would go for a Corsair PSU, they are generally reliable. For your build, I would recommend a 600w+ PSU, but I'm not an expert. Corsair offer 650w, 750w and 850w PSUs, although I think a 600w would fufill your needs. Look around on the Corsair website. Also, you need to consider whether you...

    Is this card compatible?

    Are you planning on overclocking? Also, do you have budget to work to?

    Is this card compatible?

    That motherboard will be compatible with your card, but be careful, your card needs 8 pin + 6 pin connectors, so check your PSU to see if you have those. You can see here the maximum wattage of the 770 is 246W, so use an online calculator to help you with that...

    Battlefield 3 GTX 660 and fx 6300

    From what I can see, maxed out graphics on a 660 should only be around 40 fps (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/geforce-gtx-660-geforce-gtx-650-benchmark,review-32523-7.html), but you could also check your monitor to see if it is 60Hz, otherwise you will (theoretically) only be able to see as many...
