Yes the motherboard will need a bios update before it will accept the chip. My plan was to see if frys would be able to throw in an older cpu and update the bios for me. Or see if I can borrow one from work. That's one of reasons that has me doubting the buy as I just got the 280 four months ago and I'm not sure when I'll be upgrading again. Also just about any new GPU would require a new PSU as well.

As the title says would it be worth it to upgrade from a i5-750 to a i5-4690k? I use my PC primarily for gaming which includes mostly Battlefield and GTA V these days. My current specs include I5-750 @ 3.6-3.8ghz Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 Sapphire R9 280 New specs would include I5-4690k @ 4.0ghz+ $210 MSI Z87-GD65 $30 Got to love Fry's Sapphire R9 280 So for $240 would it be worth the upgrade considering I'm only running a R9 280?

You could use this for just about anything really provided it has the specs for the task at hand. File Server Web Server VPN Server Game Server Streaming Server Router/Firewall For the os you can honestly use what ever you want or are comfortable with. Windows Server Windows Home server Something Linux based like Ubuntu, centos7, Debian Something FreeBSD based like FreeNAS(Perfect for a file server) or pfSense(router/firewall)

Exactly, it's already well known that Tim Cook is about as straight as an Iphone 6 Plus.

Anytime I got rubber banding it was due to me being on wireless. The day I ran some cat5e to my pc was the day it completely stopped.

Well can you atleast answer the original question of whether the internet is satellite or not? You mention he adjusted a dish? Are you just talking about the wifi router, or an actual satellite dish?

Just a FYI you wont always get what is advertised as there is overhead in the tcp/ip protocol itself.

This would be my guess as well.

So from the sounds of it you are on satellite? If so I hate to break it to you but there is nothing you can do about it. Satellite is just inherently inferior when it comes to latency. You can regularly expect to see 500+ ping on satellite.

Yeah this is not really a vpn situation. All you are really doing is complicating your network by creating multiple networks and double NATing which is why you are having trouble port forwarding. If you wanna use your old wifi router as you normally would then turn on bridge mode on the new router/modem combo. Also it sounds like your so called switch is still being used as a router not a switch. Also if it isn't you should set you "Switch" to bridged mode as well. Then everything should be on one network.

Any PCIe slot will work if it's a x1 card.

Some of the drawbacks to fiber include a limited bend radius. Fiber can only transfer light where as copper can carry power in the case of (POE)Power Over Ethernet, not that this is normally a issue. Also the cost to test and repair fiber is much more expensive due to the specialized equipment required.

Just to add a few things, a big difference between the two is in fact their protocol and how they actually transmit data over the 2.4ghz band. Bluetooth uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum where as most WIFI implementations use orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing. Also WIFI can be setup in a adhoc fasion and communicate directly with other devices as well.
