Sweet! Thanks champ. I've decided to go for the i7 8700 instead of the Ryzen 2 2700. Good choice? Faster cores, but less of them.

Thanks for the tips guys! I think I'll throw in the P2000. Games arent really his thing. Would it be worth putting his old graphics card (GTX 760) into the new PC for the sake of HDMI ports? Looks like the Quadro only has display port.

Hi all! I'm building a PC for a relative who is a self-employed architect. They do all of their own 2D and 3D rendering on software such as Revit, AutoCAD, Sketchup and other 3D software I forgot the names of. I've put together a few builds, however I have a few questions that should have simple answers: 1. GTX 1070 or P2000? (In Australia the P2000 = $595, GTX 1070 = $650) 2. Say I have 1 system with two graphics cards: A GTX 1050 and a P1000. Will the 3D software (if any or some) use both cards, or only the one that provides better performance? Many thanks!

I wish I had anything worth transferring at those speeds

Ah bless! Thank you so much for your answers, the both of you. Very helpful. I'll pick up a pair and see how it goes And Oshino, sadly in Australia, 100 is the highest standard for home networks, so I cant expect any more than that anyway :'(

Ah okay, makes sense then! Thank you. Also, does the brand/quality of the actual powerline units change the bandwidth loss that much? I currently have a pair of Netcomm NP505F's (500 mbps). If I were to purchase a gigabit pair, such as TP-Link TL-PA7010P, would I notice any benefits? Thanks!

Hey guys! (TL;DR available) I currently have an EoP set-up from my modem to a secondary router in another room about 30m away, however desipite the EoP being rated 500mbps (which is supposed to be 10MB/s correct?), I'm only getting ~4.5 MB/s. My ISP provides 100 mbps, and my wireless speeds at the modem reach ~95, however over the EoP the maximum I get is between 45 and 50 mbps. Wireless is not an option for my PC, as there are too many double-brick walls between the PC and modem. I will suggest a theoretical solution, and if anyone can tell me if it will work/have tried it before: Say I have a pair of Ethernet over power devices that are 200m apart and i will call them A and B. Say the speed A receives from the internet modem is 100Mbps, however there is a loss of 20 Mbps over the EoP connection. It I place another pair of EoPs (called C and D) between A and B*, would this reduce the amount of bandwidth loss over the network? *(where A would connect to C 100m apart, and then C connects to D directly next to C, which then links to B 100m away) TL;DR would adding a second pair of ethernet over power adapters between a current set reduce speed loss over the network?
