Can I do this: wire a Cat6 cable from the primary AP downstairs directly to another AP, maybe a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 or something. That in theory, should spread signal to upstairs right? Then I could connect a cable to my computer for ethernet. Will this work?!

KTFO, the connection upstairs is less than 2 bars. So, I wanted to connect the existing router and modem to another router set to access point more to act as a repeater and extra place to connect ethernet cables and LAN cables. Is this possible? Thanks!

So, I'm planning to have a new access point to reach the upstairs of my house. I was wondering what an access point was. Here is what I was planning: Router --Via LAN Cable-- New Access Point (Planning: Zyxel WAP2305) [upstairs] | | V V My PC 2nd PC Phone 2 Other Phones 3 More Household PCs 2 Other PCs Printer Will the access point enable strong signal through both routers? I was also then planning to connect ethernet to my upstairs PC. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

Sorry I was not clear about my purposes, but I will be dual-booting and AMD is not officially supported by Mac OS X

Great!

Agreed - I used the AF140's, they're good for the price. Noctua is better but I preferably stay away from the light brown color. Eww... doesn't really fit with any computer at all.

I'm fine with the fans - the LED is quite nice for such a low price. I am going to change the case and PSU. Thanks for your opinions! Edit #1: New Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139041 Also, any PSUs that are under $40 that have 430W 80+ Bronze?
