  1. Technically our wifi doesn't need fixing, it's just that while gaming the connection drops often enough to cause issues, regardless of speeds. It isn't really noticeable with phones/general internet use. The idea of this plan is to help alleviate the stress on the AP, by making the devices that can have a wired connection (computers, consoles), use a wired connection. And since both my brother and myself have experienced issues, we both want to go wired, and the opportunity to get it done properly has come up. There isn't much to explain when it comes to the wifi. Currently my mother is connected both wired and wirelessly to the router. The plan is to make all desktops/some laptops wired, where the wireless connection is mainly used as a backup for redundancy. I can remove the lines for the wirlelss signals if it helps. I'm also revising the secondary network, possibly with mesh-like interconnection. Also, thanks for your input.
  2. Are plans for upcoming networking setups allowed? ----- My home network has never need anything surprising, but now that we're in a new house, I do plan on getting a decent upgrade. This is my current layout: I know, not much. But hopefully in the next month-or-two our fibre connection can finally be finished. This is what it was like before we moved house, and what it'll look like when fibre is installed: As you can see, we rely a lot on WiFi, which myself and my brother personally hate due to reliability issues. So I have been looking into wiring our rooms up with ethernet, and since I'll be having my own network separate to the rest of the household I have planned out what I aim to have it look like: The main idea of this plan is to use WiFi primarily for a redundancy connection than relying on it to supply the whole household. As for the actual components, I have no specifications in mind as of yet, as I'll require more research beforehand, perhaps looking at purchasing second-hand for the server/server-side switch (I'm open to suggestions though...).
  3. 8/10 - Very nice build, and the pics from the build show it looks good as well. An improvement could be the cable management with the pump cables, possibly? 7/10 - For a backup build it's rather beastly, I'd happily take that as my main computer.

  4. 4670K, GTX 690, 2560x1080 I could probably run it at High for consistent 60fps, or Ultra if I don't mind a little frame dipping.
  5. Considering the display scaling capabilities of Windows currently, I'd recommend you choose the Philips monitor, which would have about the same pixel density as the monitor you currently have. With SLI'd GTX 980s' you'd be fine without G-Sync in most games at 4K, with only the really GPU-intense games benefiting from it. Only if Microsoft fixes the scaling issue in Windows 10 would I recommend the Acer monitor.
