is this what your thread question is about in total?

it should work , i've never seen one of those usb wifi adapters with antennas sticking out of it which seems kinda weird and like it would put a lot of strain on the usb port

Its a dual for better connection apparently, really need to get a good one since I cannot use ethernet and not 100% sure on a good one. This thread is mostly for thoughts and feedback and if there is anything I should upgrade or downgrade.

Are you planning to stick the dongles on the front USB ports or on the back?

Would 100% do this but for some reason the prices in my country are stupid. Its like an extra 20 GBP for some reason for that HDD.

So it's 90$ for you?

[kian2k]

Red and black, trying to save money on red and black themed parts instead of RGB apart from the case. Also is that dongle good considering how small and cheap it is and looks?

If not, I believe you should go for this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/62KhP6/asus-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-8gb-rog-strix-video-card-rog-strix-gtx1070ti-a8g-gaming

Yes, it's amazon's choice with more than a thousand reviews. Quality product guaranteed. BTW size doesn't matter(I hope you are old enough to see what I did there).

Better performance how exactly ? He already has a 1070 ti in the spec.

Is it a lot better? Seen a lot of good reviews on the graphics card and most of the products I am being are msi. Does that have RGB features, if its a lot better in performance I'd consider it because they are basically the same price but I am trying to maintain the red/black them throughout the PC.

Yeah, it isn't a LOT better. Just a few FPS more in Minesweeper. If you want the red theme very much, keep it. BTW, there are these ram sticks, amazing looking and only a few dollars more. If you want to get some flashiness and life to your system, switch to it. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/rsWfrH/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3000-memory-cmw16gx4m2c3000c15

Not sure how good/bad that cooler is. I would personally go with something like an Alpenfohn Brocken 3 if it fits. Also Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for the paste if you want to go that route.

 

I would also go with a better psu. Can't remember if that CoolerMaster is any good but aim for something like a Seasonic Focus or Antec High Current Gamer Gold etc. You also have the Bitfenix Formula for a good non modular option.

A link to a good one around the same price would be much appreciated.

Suggestions say this PC only needs around 400W

Says who ? The silicon lottery applies to any overclocking. The MSI is already a good gpu so no real need to swap it if he prefers the red/black theme.
