The main thing is my modem, router, and a couple others have the rectangle shaped plugs and only half of my UPS connects to battery, the other half is just surge protector.

Onto the question: I have exactly the right amount of outlets on the back of my UPS, however due to the shape of some of the plugs I can only fit 3/8. If I ordered some of the 4" extension cables would I be able to use them to fit everything in? (Keep in mind UPS is plugged directly into wall...

Gaming is primary focus but would like to hook up a large 1080 tv for movies

Sorry should have also stated this is a two part question. (This part being most important) how many screens and at what hz/definition can a Asus dual 1070 effectively run without running into video quality issues?

I'm thinking 144hz 2k range but all the prices I've seen have been crazy high for 27" screens like I usually like.

I currently have a 60hz 4k that's 28" what would be the best upgrade under $500? I've never had anything over 60hz... I have a 1070 currently but will be upgrading within a year or so, so I have no clue what I need.

Recently my cat 7 cable has stopped showing up on my computer (ive tried 2 cat7 cables as well as a cat 5e) the ends are blinking showing that the cable is working however my computer keeps saying does not have valid ip configuration, but mine is set on static so that makes no sense. Please help...

Thankyou for the link, that forum didn't show when I searched from work earlier

Care if I pry and ask the external model size and what program you use?

My wd blue TB just died and next payday I plan on getting a HDD or multiple. I still have a 250gb SSD and a 250gb m2 for multiplayer games where speed is crucial, however what hard drive/s should I get to complete the system? Currently looking at a 2tb WD black but Idk what I'll need to backup...

How do you backup your system?

How would you recommend doing a backup? I've heard external as well but I'm relatively green so I'm unsure on how to protect my storage

I have a single old Seagate 1tb, a 2tb WD black, and a 2tb WD blue. Should I RAID them and also if so which raid would be best for gaming as well as backup if possible. Oh and also a SSD but I don't think I'd include it in the raid.
