Bottom line he needs a cpu upgrade too

Very good thread, very informative and true. 1080p at high refresh rates does require more cpu horsepower than running 4k at 60hz!

Bump. Still a very important Issue that needs to be addressed. More information on it here. This will probably never be fixed by a software update. https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31122204-SB6190-Puma6-TCP-UDP-Network-Latency-Issue-Discussion~start=2880

To further add to what @Heavygun1450 said. Check out Frontier's direct forum at https://www.dslreports.com/?r=906. It tech support forum ran by Frontier hosted at DSLreports. I have Comcast as an ISP and they also have a direct forum here, and I found the help here, much better then calling in. 

go fuck yourself 8mb/s is not slow 

Yes, I have done this myself to increase range around the house. Just plug the Ethernet cable into the Modem/Router and the other end of the Ethernet into your AP/Router and it should work just fine!

Those XFiinity Modem/Router combos are garbage. Been with Comcast for over 10 years I know that most of their stuff is trash. You are renting that box for $10 a month BTW. Because its a modem/router combo it makes things harder. One you can try to get them to put it in to bridge modem and hook a router to it. Or if you dont mind extra configuration you can keep the setup and add a router.Your biggest issue, if your modem is in the fucking basement. WiFi tends to work best when its up high. So basically you have your router in the shittiest place you could ever have a router in a house. At I can suggest is to put the router as high up in your basement as possible. 
 
Not heres my question. You do have 4 bars which should be sufficient. Does the WiFi drop out, or just the internet? There is a difference. It could be a signal issue on the cable line coming in to your house. Your modem has very specific specs for signal to operate correctly. Modems that go out of spec will disconnect. Because if your computer is not disconnecting from the WiFi and it just shows no internet, then its must be a modem or signal issue. 

you could run an ethernet to the first floor and have another router work from there. I'd try to contact xfinity and see if they'll replace your current router before buying another one. 

Corsair K70 RGB with Cherry MX Red keys if your gaming.

Alright man good luck on your build and have fun.

Yep 650W is perfect actually. If you where running SLI you would need a bit more.

Set it to automatic. Your card is acting that way because of you.

Go get a RX480. My cousin is running a FX-6300 overclocked and is using a 970 and it works fine.

Alright guys, time to dust off the crystal ball

I found this pretty amusing

If you want a serious one @ShadowTechXTS made a good one a while back.
 

AMD's FX series of CPU's is 5 years old which is old for a processor. Their 8 cores processors are slower than intels quad core processors. AMD's CPU's dont use a newer architecture or smaller manufacturing process. Which means, More power draw, More Heat, Less overclocking potential. Why pick AMD's proessors when you could get one of intels quad cores for the same price as AMD's. Intel's CPU's will overclock better, Have much better gaming performance, Have higher single core performance, And use less electricity and overclock better. Zen will update upon the FX series and will be a pretty decent line of new CPU's.

Ditch that cooler and get a AIO watercooler for a high end build like that, because why not.
Z170 and 6700k are enough for gaming.
Your case will fit your drives.
You need a sli bridge that can fit 2 cards on it.

best typo i've seen all week

Kraken X61!

I mean you could get the 6600k if your struggling in your budget, but if you really want to balance out your PC I would get the 6700k. If your trying to hit 144hz the 6600k will limit you to around 80fps when the 6700k could give you 120hz, etc. 6700k will be more future proof and be great for things very cpu intensive like streaming and video editing.

personally i wouldnt pick either id go with an evga supernova series over any of the ones you have picked a 650 g2 would set you back $99.99 from the evga site but im sure you can get cheaper on amazon or other retailer.
 
 EVGA are hands down probs best power supplies out atm in my honest opinion

Unigine Valley does that for whatever reason. Its some kind of bug in Unigine valley. Dont worry about it you have the 8GB card lol a simple google search would have solved this
