    will dx12 make any difference in current games?

    If the game is DX12 compatible then yes, otherwise, a DX12 card isn't going to matter.

    Network adapter missing after restarts and reinstall of Windows 7.

    This may be a silly suggestion, but have you tried plugging it into a different port? Also, have you tried a different network adapter?

    when games post recommended setting (what does it mean)

    Generally minimum requirements are the bare minimum, meaning, even if you meet the minimum requirements, its a very real possibility that even though it works, it is unplayable from a enjoyment stand point. Recommended is essentially what they think you would need to run it at desirable...

    Steam not responding

    So recently I've been having a strange issue, hasn't ever popped up before. Recently whenever I am playing a game on steam I will randomly have steam and the steam overlay stop responding, which in turn freezes my game. After about 1-2 mins it starts responding again, and my game unfreezes...

    1600mhz ram with 1333mhz?

    There is not, to my knowledge, a single game on the market whose minimum requirement is 7gb. His point was, that your parts are older as it is, and therefor you probably wouldn't be able to run anything requiring that much RAM anyway. He can correct me if im wrong.

    Built a new rig, recommendations for stress test?

    I didn't tell him they were the best looking games on the market, I told them they would test his PC. The TW games don't have high system requirements, get into a battle of 60k+ people, then yea, its going to slap your computer in the face. Honestly that computer is going to blow any game on...

    Looking for advice on a gaming monitor

    I want the higher hz with good picture if possible, I'm dyslexic, and have to wear glasses for Astigmatism, so picture clarity is a big deal for me, especially when it comes to text.

    Desktop or Laptop

    Well, its better to air on the side of caution, especially when you're talking about $1500+ in components. Building a PC is a lot easier than it looks, and you can easily just follow tutorials to do so. But honestly, I'd do so with a old PC or something laying around, it can be pretty daunting...
