    What solutions are there for wireless sound/mic for talking to people away from the computer?

    I have a small house and I like the idea of being able to walk to my kitchen (10 feet away from my computer) or go to the bedroom or something like that and still be able to talk to my friends on skype/teamspeak.

I have never installed a cpu cooler before...

    Ping spikes when ever I start a game

    This happens with all games but is the worst with League Of Legends. I start a match and I just see my ping go from the normal 70-90 to 1000-4000 at different times.
