I currently have an Asus RT-AC66u (https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RTAC66U/). For the first year or two of its life it was my favorite router I've ever had because it never lost connection and never required resetting. Previously I had a series of Linksys and Netgear routers that needed...

What do you want to play? List some games that are out now you want to play, and games coming out in the future you are interested in. Interested in VR at all? Hard to give a good answer without knowing what you want to do with it. Also do you want a desktop replacement style laptop, where...

Yep, it isn't just Scandinavia... I've checked with a few barebones desktop suppliers here in the USA and they are all saying that there will be VERY limited numbers of Coffee Lake processors available anytime in 2017, and that most will be in 2018. This is basically a fake launch by Intel to...

Processors do not improve that much between generations... even now with competition seemingly accelerating improvements somewhat. You will not see a very noticeable difference between a 7700k and an 8700k, and any difference a person could see would not be worth the $500 it would take to...

There's always something new around the corner. You buy a new mobo+cpu when your current one is no longer performing the way you want it to in the software you use. 4xxx are getting pretty old, but they are still decent. If you have extra money and you want to upgrade go ahead. If you can...

* like this makes me want to buy Ryzen. Then I think about how awesome my Rift will run on the 8700k and I buy Intel

Your processor is at the bare minimum for Vive specs, but you could keep that. Maybe. (Minimum is actually an FX-8350.) You will have to upgrade your graphics card to at least a GTX 1060, with a GTX 1070 recommended. With that processor, I wouldn't suggest going above a 1070 as the CPU wouldn't...

Be aware you will probably not reach 144 frames, or even 120 fps consistently, in World of Warcraft no matter what computer you build, assuming you want your graphics on ultra. The engine is so old and unoptimized nothing makes it go that fast. Anyway, just don't want you to get frustrated...
