Hello! A bit of a follow-up from a previous post, I got an RX5700xt, Razer eGPU enclosure, and a 240Hz monitor for my setup. But, I'm being hard hard CPU bottlenecked in games, with tons of stuttering. My old laptop is struggling like a geriatric donkey and it might be time to put it down. I'm looking for a new laptop with a CPU that can handle 240Hz, for around $1500. My budget is super flexible, but only because I'm willing to skip a meal or two for the frames. It doesn't need a GPU of its own becuse I have my eGPU for that. Less important, but I'd ideally like a 2-in-1 with a pen so I can take notes on it. I've been looking at Surface laptops, but are there better options? Thanks so much.

230fps sounds really nice, I'll def look into it. And, I think R6 has gotten better about hackers recently, I'd recommend giving it another go

I'm planning on buying a Surface Book 3 or similar laptop, which has an i7 1065G7. I don't know exactly how good that is, but it should be enough, no?

Was eyeing those, they look pretty good. I'm planning to use the GPU in an external enclosure connected to a laptop (which I haven't bought yet). So, the CPU probably will be serviceable but not incredibly strong.

I'm looking to buy a new GPU in the next two weeks mostly for playing esports games (i.e. CSGO, Overwatch, R6) at 1080p low. 144Hz is a must, and I'm willing to pay more for 240Hz play and/or a longer lifespan. What GPU would be a good buy? No hard budget, I'm mostly looking for good value at any price point. Thanks :)

Dell Inspiron 13 5000 ASUS VivoBook F510UA both good options

Current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MadOrc/saved/9DYHxr I was thinking of upgrading my CPU to an 8086k with an Asus Prime z370-A, totaling $580. I was wondering if I could pay a different amount for more value per dollar. My reasoning is that there might be a premium for a special-edition type thing. I mainly want to use my CPU for gaming, but I still do some photo/video editing that can make use of the extra two cores. Thanks!

I'm looking for a work/light gaming laptop for ~$1000. Preferably 1050 or something similar, touchscreen preferred but not necessary. I was thinking maybe the 7700hq Asus Vivobook but I'd like some more options. Thanks!

Is there a good laptop around $1000 (flexible) that is fairly light and has a GTX1050 or better? Thanks.

Looks good, but I would go for a different parts list if I were you. That cpu cooler is too expensive if you're not even overclocking and you really should get a graphics card. Also, that power supply is really old and a new one would be easier to find and better. What will this build be used for?

PCPartPicker says that any of them should be fine.

Our network setup consists of a full working system on one side of the house and a single Ethernet cable running to the other side. When we plug in a switch and a router to this cable, some devices can connect and some can't. We plugged the router into a different cable for testing (which was connected to a switch) and that worked with other devices. Why is this: Devices working when router connected to long ethernet cable: iPhone 6, Moto Z Devices working when router connected to test ethernet cable: HP Spectre 2016

Can I please have a recommendation for a >60hz ultrawide? The size doesn't matter much, so long as it's vesa mountable and not extremely expensive. Thanks!

The apartment I live in has thick concrete walls that don't allow wifi through, so only half the apartment has wifi due to the long floor plan. I have to rely on a 100ft Ethernet cable going through the crown molding, which only serves my PC. We have tried range extenders and repeaters, none of which work for more than a few seconds (weird, right?). If I don't want to get a whole new network for half the apartment what can I do to get wifi? I don't have much knowledge about networks, sorry if the answer is obvious.
