Hey all, I built my first computer a couple years ago. When first built it ran a lot of the newer games like Metro: Last Light and Bioshock Infinite pretty well (1080p, 60fps-45fps) but I've been looking to upgrade it as my hardware gets older and some of the newer games like The Witcher 3 and...

Hello! I moved into my first apartment and I've never set up the internet before. I got it to work but it has a "2" next to the name now: Picture here I'm just wondering what the "2" means. Both Belkinff 0&1 mine from the same router. Is it someone else connected to my router besides my PC? I...

Hey all About half a year ago I built my first gaming computer and honestly it just seems like every game that I try to play seventh generation (xbox360/ps3) or higher I get really annoying micro stuttering. I really can't find a way to fix it and it's really been driving me crazy. I really have...

Hey all So I attempted to build my first gaming pc for my 21 birthday in July. Sadly with the amount of money I put into it and the performance I get with even some xbox360/ps3 generation games I consider it a failed attempt. I feel really bad about the whole thing in general but I don't want to...
