    The_Askinator got a reaction from Noix in Should I upgrade?   
    If you want high refresh rate gaming, don't go for 4K. Just upgrade to a 2060 or better and buy a high refresh rate 1440P monitor. There are some really good ones from Viewsonic and Viotek you can get for around 300-350. After doing that, i'd wait till Ryzen 4 drops and upgrade your processor to whatever your budget allows since that'll be the last AM4 chip. Your MOBO is fine, don't worry about upgrading it. After that, maybe a bigger SSD and a extra stick of ram. Upgrade your ram and SSD last though Do GPU and monitor first, than processor, than ram, and than get a bigger SSD (if you want).

    Your current setup is honestly fine as it is. As Linus showed in his latest video, CPUs are totally good even from a long time ago to game. Upgrade your GPU until you start seeing issues or aren't happy enough with your FPS or frametimes.

    I feel like frame times might help? Could you see if you could send those over?

    A GTX 1660 Super is probably one of the most value for money cards right now.

    8400 with a hyper 212 evo, alongside some good paste and watch that thing turbo up!

    It depends on your price range. The RX 580 has a lot of vram, so your computer will have a lot of caching room for anything. While if your budget is less, a 1050ti will also suffice. Either card will suffice. One thing tho, if you know a little about tech, you should 100% buy some new thermal paste and a new cooler, since this is an older cpu with basically no paste left. I recommend a Hyper 212 Evo so your computer can turbo up without throttling.

    your experience is most likely is an isolated issue. Many pro-gamers and tech savvy people use the Krakens.. I had a crappy LG TV before, but their OLEDS are still the best in the business, so it's not their fault that just one unit out of a couple thousand was not good.

    Kraken or Kraken Pros, also Corsair Voids are really good.

    Watch one of those "how to build a computers in 2018" videos. Some are made by Linus, some by Austin Evans. Also, good luck finding a good gpu.

    The_Askinator got a reaction from LHJKO in VPN not Working   
    Okay, so look. Let's say i'm in a theoretical non physically existing school where i'm at lunch and wanna get on Snapchat, Instagram, and what not. I use any VPN app on the store, and it works. One day it stops working, so I switch phones, again theoretically, in fear they blocked my mac address. The thing is, the VPN works on all the other theoretical kids's phones, except mine.. What's going on? Again, I'm not actually at school doing this, this would be a clear violation of rules and I would never do that, this post is just because of curiosity. I would like to additionally I was on a LG G4 and now a Galaxy S7 Edge. The exact same VPN app works on my theoretical friend's phones and on the non physically existing chromebooks.. Any clue why my VPN never works?

    you may want to use something like Parsec which will allow you to connect to your computer, server or not with a low latency connection. It's meant for gaming but it'll work with normal use cases also.

    Great question - right now we're using PayPal for payment processing, and once we move to the new site we'll be using a different solution. We won't be storing any actual payment information (like credit card numbers). As for addresses and phone numbers, etc. Let me get back to you on that one.
