    FoxPCs got a reaction from sizifova_ovca in Wifi speed suddenly tanked with no changes.   
    My wifi has been stable at 144mbps on 2.4g and 650mbps on 5g for several years with a netgear ac1750 n6400 router, but has suddenly started to tank down to 5mbps with about 15 minutes of the router being powered on and staying there with absolutely no changes to the network. My ISP ( cascade networks fiber optic) told my it was my router since their service either works or doesnt so I bought a new ac1750 n6400v2 and am having the same issue, does anyone know what could be happening?

    This is what I would recommend for you with what ever case and hdd/ssd you like but my list leaves you with about $350 for those and is full RGB with very high performance.

    he might be better of with ryzen7 2700 for this build it has more cores and a much higher clock speed for that price range. this might do a little better for him and its full RGB for a little less than your list.

    1. Budget & Location
    Location: New York City (Some e-tailers charge sales tax in NY State)
    Budget:   Max is $1,500, but I’d like to save where I can. I don’t mind spending money, but I don’t want to waste money on pieces that have overclocking headroom because I will be doing zero of that. My personality likes to tinker, but I can’t devote the time to go down that rabbit hole
     
    The plan is to partially build my computer now because I am moving and would rather build a new unit at the new apartment. However, I am willing to wait until after Nvidia announces the new Turing based GPU in late August to purchase that or something else.
     
    I wanted to get the ball rolling to keep an eye out for parts now that RAM prices are becoming reasonable. I can build the system out and use my current video card in the new system to hold me over.
     
    2. Aim
    Gaming all the AAA tiles on single play that currently exists at high or highest quality. I am too old to have time to play multiplayer, so super high frame rates is not as important to me.
    Some Adobe Photoshop and some Premiere eventually as a hobby.
     
    3. Monitors
    I plan to be running the current Dell U3415W which has a 3440 x 1440 resolution. I don’t plan on multi-monitor support at all.
     
    4. Peripherals
    I have all the peripherals I need and have Windows 10 already. But you never know what shiny RGB gadget hypnotizes me.
     
    5. Why are you upgrading?
    I have a Core2 Duo computer with 16GB of RAM and GTX 560 card so anything can be an upgrade at this point. Ever since I upgraded to my ultrawide, I didn’t even attempt to run games because I knew it would not be a good experience.
     
    6. My personal thoughts/ideas
    CPU - I would like an Intel 8th gen i5. I don’t see a need for an i7, but ya’ll can correct me if I’m wrong. I heard Adobe released an optimization for Intel processors recently, so that is pushing me away from anything Ryzen. Again, ya’ll can correct me if I am wrong.
    CPU Cooler – Nothing fancy, but quiet and possibly fanless would be a plus
    Motherboard – I just want a solid board with nVMe support and USB 3 Type C header support. Doesn’t need to overlock. I am assuming ATX because it has the best price to performance ratio nowadays.
    RAM – I would like 16GB and haven’t seen a need for 32. No clue about what speed/timings the newer processors need to run optimally, but I don’t want to overpay for “fast” memory to overlock
    CASE – I don’t care about windows or lighting. I just want a well-built case with good airflow and a Type C USB port.
    GPU – Right off the bat, I’m willing to pay up to $600 for a GPU. However, there aren’t a lot of benchmarks for AAA FPS titles with ultrawides at close to max settings? I simply don’t know if a 1070ti/1080/1080ti would be adequate or not. In terms of “futureproofing”, I personally don’t think game engines will get more demanding, but the push for 4K HDR will require higher GPU performance. Being that I’m not going to upgrade my monitor in the next two years or so, what do I really need?
    Power Supply – This is a bit tricky since we don’t know the requirements for the eventual Turing GPU. But I assume a 700W Gold will work? At worst, I can get the minimum needed for a 1080Ti and a i5?
    Hard Drives – I have a few Samsung 950 SSD’s and think they are fine. I wouldn’t mind getting a 256GB NVME drive and using the 950’s for storage. I have various external spinning drives already for backups.
     
    That’s all I got for now and to everyone, thanks in advance!
