The i5-4590 has a 100 MHz faster base clock and a 300 MHz faster Max turbo so it will perform slightly better. The difference between the two is so small that it would hardly be noticeable during regular workloads. Of course, $16 amortized over the life of the computer is also barely...

Your CPU doesn't support PCIe 3.0. You need an Ivy Bridge (iX-3XXX) or better to use PCIe 3.0. I wouldn't worry about it though. A GTX 660 isn't going to saturate a x16 slot. You could run it in crossfire x8/x8 and still be fine.

The only options I can think of to extend your wireless range are A.) Get a new router with better range or B.) Get a repeater/range extender. If you don't need to connect wirelessly, you could look into powerline networking which turns your electrical sockets into ethernet ports. Other than...

Try running your computer with one stick only. If that works, try the other stick. If both work individually, there is probably a problem with your Mobo.

Depends on the exact PSU but probably not. AMD's website recommends a 500W or better.

No worries. Your CPU and GPU overclock separately so you shouldn't have any issues overclocking your GPU with a i5-4570.

Yes, that's a pretty good CPU for gaming. In most of those games (BF3 multiplayer being a possible exception) you will likely be limited by your graphics card. Just be aware that if you plan on doing any overclocking, you'll need an i5-4670K.

The big difference is in the TDP. The i5-4570 has an 84W TDP while the i5-4570S has a 65W TDP. That means the i5-4570 will operate at higher frequencies for longer before butting up against the max TDP. Overall, the i5-4570 will have a slight edge.

That Mobo will work with any modern graphics card and your PSU is more than enough. The only real constraint is your case. It has a maximum graphics card clearance of 270 mm (320 if you remove the HDD/SSD Cage). So to answer your question, any graphics card you'd like that is shoter than 10.6...

You answered your own question with: "...im only streaming League of Legends, It seemsfine so far." If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Well, that takes care of all the easy stuff. Do you know the model of the Blu-Ray player?

Do you have your laptop set to projector mode? If not, the blu-ray player might not be recognizing that anything is attached.

You probably have to change the source on your TV to whatever input your Blu-ray player is. Then, change the input on the Blu-ray player to whatever input your laptop is plugged into.

The 512gb SSD is huge, but if you've got the cash feel free. A 1000W PSU is also a bit over the top. Again, if you've got the cash feel free because it won't really hurt anything, but if you want to save some cash, you could get a 750W (or even 600W) PSU and still be fine. This Website is a...

Your motherboard, CPU, and CPU cooler will define what kind of RAM you can use. For a modern system, an 8gb or 16gb DDR3-1600 kit from G.Skill, Corsair, or Mushkin would probably be best. I personally like G.Skill's ARES series of RAM because they are low profile and won't conflict with big...
