Since the world has been going to shit, thought I would see if anyone has built anything recently.
With the upcoming release of the 3000 GPUs, I might have to build one. Wife is also about to start a new business, and we will need a bigger better computer anyway. [Reply]

From my understanding, they work better if the router/gigabit switch is on the same floor, and even better if there are visible sight-lines.
So I was telling my wife about the new graphics cards, the performance, good price, and how they were very difficult to get right now. Said how I would love to have one and build a new computer, especially since we are editing videos on my poor old one now.
Her smartass said, “You can spend as much as you want, if you find the card you want in the next 5 min, and buy it.” [Reply]

They work best if they're on the same circuit. Also, they have a practical distance limitation of about 1000 feet. [Reply]
After the prebuilt fail, I’m piecing together a build. Ordered this monitor today. It’s not HD, 1440. IP, 165hz, 1ms, decent contrast rate. It’s free sync and gsync-compatible which is what I need since I don’t know if I’m going to find an Nvidia or AMD card first. Good sale price.
Thoughts?

My build is old (i7-4770k) but, I believe, it to be a solid enough system to carry me through another 3-4 years of gaming once I pick up the 5600 XT I'm hunting. [Reply]
