I have Suddenlink internet. I've also seen the Nighthawk at Walmart (they have one on display at mine), and it looks beautiful. I've thought about getting either that or one of the higher end Linksys ones. EDIT: After looking on the Suddenlink site, they do use DOCSIS, anything 3.0 or higher.

So my ISP just upgraded our internet, but I need a new modem and router to take advantage of the increased speeds. I currently have the Netgear N300 modem/router all in one, but I think I'm ready to have a separate modem and router. I want to get something good enough to eventually take advantage of their gigabit internet, which they've told me I'll need 32 channels to use. What would be the best modem and router to get on the cheap? I've seen the Arris SB6190 at Walmart (I work there) that has 32 downstream channels, and it's $112, but I don't know what router to pair with it. Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Noctua is 6.3", width of the Phantom 410 is 8.43", so it should fit right?

I didn't notice that until afterwards. Changed it to a 550w and lowered the price by $30

At that price difference, to be honest I'd be perfectly fine with the 1080p monitors. What do you guys think about this: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/m6scbj

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum, so bear with me. I want to build a pair of desktops in October/November for my wife and me. We've never built our own computers before, so it's going to be a new experience and a fun project for both of us to do together. 1. Budget & Location Our total budget is $5000 US, but I could stretch to $6000 if it's a good deal/upgrades performance well enough. If this doesn't seem like it's enough after reading the whole post, be brutally honest about it because this is our first build and we're not entirely sure what to expect price wise. 2. Aim We're both very avid gamers. She's a very casual gamer, whereas I'm a very competitive gamer. I'm also planning on streaming on Twitch and making my own videos once these computers are built, so it's ok if the components inside the computers aren't the exact same. 3. Monitors We both want 2 monitors. No more, no less. 1080p resolution is great, but if we can play on 4K, that would be awesome too as we've never gotten to experience it. Would prefer if the monitors had the option to be mounted to the wall. 4. Peripherals 4 total monitors and 2 copies of Windows. 5. Why are you upgrading? Right now we're sitting with 1 desktop and 1 laptop, both around 3 years old (my desktop has a GTS 450 graphics card). We want to have our gaming setup with brand new desktops sitting next to each other so we can game together Extra Info Wireless cards will be a necessity. It's impossible to set our router up for a wired connection in our apartment because of where the outlet is located. The cases for both PC's need to be the same, preferably with lights inside (it'd be even better if the lights could change colors, I don't know if that's possible or not). Need at least 2 USB ports on the front, along with a disc drive. We're curious about using liquid cooling vs fan cooling. I've always thought liquid cooling was pretty awesome sounding, but I've never seen it in person before. Would also prefer something a little quieter (my current desktop is relatively loud and the case shakes while powered up, so I don't want that anymore). If you guys have any suggestions or comments, feel free to leave them, and thanks in advance!
