Does the presence of other people who use the SIM card of the same network carrier company in the same room/space diminish the network connectivity and/or reduce internet speed for any one person or the whole lot?
Any explanation for this query would be much appreciated.

I have 16 GB RAM, an A10 6800k 4.1GHz CPU, a Radeon R9 380 GPU, an motherboard, a 1TB Toshiba HDD, and a kingston 120GB SSD. How many watts psu should I get. Looking into a 750W corsair psu, will that be enough? Or overkill?
The price of these are in my country almost the same. The problem is Gigabyte 1070 G1 is still on pre-order meanwhile MSi 1070 Armor is available right now. Is there a FPS, cooling, performance difference between these two? I wanna buy MSi 1070 Armor cuz i dont wanna wait anymore :/

I need to find a CPU that's good for general gaming and It would have to be Intel. I have around $170, I could go up to $200, but i would really rather stay at $170 for the CPU.
Note sure if this is an issue with the driver or the card itself. Tried rolling the driver back. No help. I know if's not a monitor issue since I can view the issue over chrome remote desktop from work. The graphics issue goes away "in-game" when I lower the graphics level. When I return back to...
