PC causing Cell phone interference?

So lately I would say ever since I put my GTX 760 in my pc when I try to call someone it takes for ever to connect or doesn't connect at all. Same thing if someone tries to call me. In order for me to actually understand anything they say I have to stand up so my computer isn't in the way. I know that anything that uses electricity has a magnetic field so I guess that's whats causing this but what surprises me is that my components would put such a strong magnetic field to interrupt my cell signal. Now since I kind of live in the woods like @Logan from tek syndicate I only have 2-3 bars when I'm not by my pc. But drops to one when I'm at it. Now my pc is on top of my desk right beside me. Has anyone else experienced this?

The same sort of thing happens with my wireless headset. Try repostioning the pc around your room. 

Well I can stand on the other side of my pc and have good signal, but I'm not moving my pc. I like to be able to look inside of it, and the way the desk is doesn't allow me to move it around without puttting it on the floor, which I don't want to do.

do you have any accessories that use wireless communications sitting on your desk?If so try putting them somewhere else. If you aren't already using ethernet try that because it might fix the problem. I don't know if this will be possible in your situation, but maybe reposition yourself so you sit on the other side of the desk and/or computer.

you could buy some signal boosters, but they can run a pretty steep price

I've never tryed any of these, but you can probably try and find some reviews.

Ik I can buy boosters. But I made this post to see if anyone else experienced signal loss beside their computers.

might just be some bad power components on the card giving you the issues... is it reference or not?
