So, I have a quantum router from Fios. 150/150. All hardwired desktops/laptops get 150/150+. Phones, tablets, wifi laptops get 100-150 download but get 3-5 upload... I have tested 2.4 and 5ghz bands, different channels, reboots, I even have a WAP now with the same results. I purchased the WAP...

Agree the CPU will be your biggest upgrade out of the 2 parts you posted. You could also add a 2nd 980

why no 1060? The new 1060, 1070 and 1080 are all great cards. You are going to get what you pay for. The more you pay, the better the performance and the longer it will last you.

temp of 70 on a GTX 970 is nothing to worry about. My 970 hits 83c every time I play Overwatch. If I was you I would download another tool just to make sure. I run HWmonitor when I play Overwatch sometimes. This will tell you the clock speeds and temp.

I had the same problem with my kids computer. It was the PSU. Would shut down randomly and the power button would not work. Had to pull the power plug or flip the switch on the back of the PSU then turn it back on. Got a new PSU and have had 24/7 up time for 4+ weeks. You could start by pulling...

Honestly the new AMD chips wont be faster than the best Intel CPU's today. The hype over the new AMD chips are overblown just like their Bulldozer was. I have moved from AMD after being a loyal customer for many many years. I now run a Intel Core i7-4930K (6 core) and it is an insane beast...

First, are you using the on board lan connection? Are you connected directly from the ISP modem to your computer? Do you have any switches, routers or hubs between your ISP modem and computer? Are you using cat5, cat5e or cat6 ethernet cables?

I went from 7 to 8. Stayed on 8 for about 5 months then went to 10. The upgrade was smooth on the 3 computers I upgraded. I like 10. Very active gamer and game performance has been great. If you are worrying about Microsoft spying, search good. See what they look it. I personally dont care...

Description: Socket: FM2 Clockspeed: 3.6 GHz Turbo Speed: 3.9 GHz No of Cores: 2 (2 logical cores per physical) Max TDP: 100 W http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A8-5600K+APU

If its a new laptop call the manufacturer. Should be under warranty.

SSD or HDD? I have a 512 SSD and play pretty much everything you do. I also have a NAS 4tb drive for all my music/video and stuff.

Is a strong build. Only thing that I would change (this is me personally) would be the SSD. You need enough room on the SSD to install windows, all applications and games. You never want to max out the SSD capacity or the performance goes way down. If you install apps/games on the HDD then they...
