No, they just need to be configured and plugged in to a wall outlet so it boosts your wifi signal to further it's range, you'll lose some performance though with the boosted signal compared to your original signal from your router. 
 
Note: If you were wondering the ethernet port on the side just allows for a wired internet connection to a PC or other device if desired. 

. I have the 970a g46 with an 8350 and all is good. Just hate the blue:/

Wait, screw that! I've changed it again! I have enough cash for this!

Not my idea of a "Clean Number"
My opinion of a clean number has to be divisible by Bytes (8 Bits)
Examples
256 512 1024

That's what I mean, my OCD kicks in, I must see either 2500 or 3000, 3500, IT HAS TO A BE A CLEAN NICE NUMBER

Yup.
 
I tried to buy both haha. Never have I entered my personal information into a website with such speed...

I honestly doubt that any of the LinusMediaGroup sleeps. Ever.

Damn.  Dat case.....

oh, disregard everything I say, I was thinking 650ti BOOST

GTX650Ti is non-sli capable and my mobo has only 1 PCI-E 16x Slot.

Save up for a 270 or 280X/770. For now just overclock your 650 Ti

650Ti cannot be SLI'd.
 
I suggest you save up your money for a bigger upgrade IMO. Just OC the 650Ti.

Would you recommend a 770 or a 280x instead of the 270x? Either way which brand would you recommend?
 
Thanks

So they can make a 24" 4k display but it's impossible to make anything smaller than a 27" 1440p display ?

1920x1200 i think.

in 24 its now 4k, we have been bullshit fed by companies saying they arent do 1600p on small monitors, laptops and phones changed that

Ah, yeah. Derp.

No you will be fine.

It will be fine.

What GPU are you using right now?
 
There is a problem with the bf4 beta where you get a ton of lag spikes and only 30fps.
 
I fixed the lag spikes by downloading the beta driver for my gpu and it worked.

I haven't followed Powercolor's line of product lately so I can't offer an opinion on it. You can always check the benchmarks and see how it performs against other cards. Personally I'd go with something from Sapphire or Gigabyte for their coolers but I'm not sure what your budget is.
 
I plan on upgrading to an FX8320 / ASUS 7970 DCUII soon so I'm in the same boat as you are.

R9 280x is just a rebranded 7970 GHz
