Thanks for the answer! I decided to just accept my fate and not play latency depended games. Soon I’ll have my gaming setup with wifi 5 or wifi 6 hopefully.

I have a problem with my internet quality, which is that everytime I play an online game on my laptop that heavily depends on the latency (such as rocket league or valorant), the internet gets worse over time. It starts with short, barely noticeable ping spikes, and slowly transforms into a ping constantly fluctuating between 200-500 ping and heavy packet loss, making my games unplayable. I haven’t had this problem on any other device. The laptop has a 2.4 ghz Wifi adapter only. the problem has always been here since my mom moved to a new house. any idea how to fix this or what causes it? I know Ethernet is the best solution, but I’d rather connect via wifi.

I’m out of solutions then, but I’m not so handy with software soooo imma leave lol.

Imma ask the shitty question; did you click “refresh” in the win10 install screen? Sometimes it doesn’t detect some drives right away.

Have you tried a different GPU? are you 100% sure no other components are faulty? is the cpu 8 pin plugged in correctly?

The prices are wrong with your build, with pounds you still have 42£ left. and as Jurrunio said, the PSU isn’t the best and the 212 evo is old. here’s an “modified” build; (BTW, you could go for a 500Gb M2 if you don’t need that much storage and want faster storage) PCPartPicker Part List CPU: *AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (£159.00 @ Amazon UK) CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 34 CPU Cooler (£23.73 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard (£114.98 @ CCL Computers) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory (£67.39 @ CCL Computers) Storage: Crucial BX500 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£28.98 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£33.95 @ Amazon UK) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB OC Video Card (£209.99 @ Amazon UK) Case: Corsair SPEC-DELTA RGB ATX Mid Tower Case (£64.95 @ AWD-IT) Power Supply: Corsair CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply (£102.62 @ Amazon UK) Total: £805.59 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available *Lowest price parts chosen from parametric criteria Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-07-29 20:38 BST+0100

Hey, I’ve finally settled on the node 202, exited to build! I’m waiting for prices to settle down currently, before ordering. (And whilst I am waiting, i might as well wait for 4th gen ryzen.)

But if I don’t want to mod, which one is best then?

Ahh case modding, not really a big fan but will look into it

How do you add a handle to a pc case lol

I can’t go for custom parts and cooling is not really good most of the times. and pc building Is what I like to do.

My parents are divorced, so for my new build I want to go mini-itx, so I can use it at both houses instead of building 2 separate pc’s. Im looking for a portable case with sufficient airflow, but I’m new to mini-itx, so I came for advice. pc case budget; max 250 including extra fans? im currently looking at the node 202/SG13/TU150, are those good enough?

That’s the refresh rate of the monitor you have.

If you don’t mind the slower response time (5 ms) definitely get an adapter. 1080p 75hz will be enough for your rig. When buying new get 144 hz or 1440p, but an 480 isn’t going to be great for 1440p. An adapter would be wise here.

If listed it for 5 bucks, if it doesn’t sell within a week I’ll throw it away
