Should I upgrade the video card on this 2011 build?

This looks like it might be the best bang for the buck.

Should I upgrade the video card on this 2011 build?

This machine became the kids computer when I built a new box for Battlefield V last year. I'm wondering if it makes any sense to upgrade the video card. Any chance I could get it up to speed enough to run any recent games? Windows 7 GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0...

Can't see wireless router when connected via ethernet

Yep. I guess it's a combo modem and router. I think I'm understanding now. So it sounds like I need to make one of my routers do all the DHCP and routing work and tell the other one to be dumb. I guess there are 2 options right? 1. Configure the Asus as a WAP, letting the Arris do DHCP. Does...

Sounds correct. It's an Arris TG1672G from Spectrum. My wifi is an Asus RT-AC88U So yeah, I've really got 2 routers I guess.

Can't see wireless router when connected via ethernet

I get that this would make things simpler. But my wifi router is on the other side of a wall about 20 feet away from my laptop, desktop, NAS, and printer. So I don't want to run 20 ft cables through the wall for all of those connections. I guess I could run one more long cable from the wifi...

Can't see wireless router when connected via ethernet

Ok, so I've basically got 2 networks then I guess. One from the modem and one from the router. And I guess when I'm on the router network, I can see everything and when I'm on the modem network, I can't see what's on the router network? I should clarify. These are my connections: wall to...

Can't see wireless router when connected via ethernet

Hey All, I have a Spectrum cable modem and an Asus wifi router. If my laptop is connected to the modem with ethernet, I can login to the modem, but cannot connect to the wifi router. If my laptop is connected to the wifi, I can login to both the modem and the router. Is there a way I can setup...

Molex fans - not enough connections to PSU

Yep, that does look like what I've got.

Molex fans - not enough connections to PSU

Unless I'm doing it wrong, it doesn't seem to fit correctly. But I just realized the cables coming off my fans have both male and female molex, like this one: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31biBb1izUL._SY300_.jpg So I'm thinking I can just attach two of them together?

Molex fans - not enough connections to PSU

Ok. So can anyone tell me what kind of cable this is? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B49oE6SJA7LNVVFyc3pKU3pSV2s It's the same as the one in the first photo except it goes from molex to two of these connectors, but this one is easier to see. I had thought it looked like it would go to a fan...

Actually, it looks like that cable isn't the right kind of connection to attach to the fan header on the motherboard, so maybe I need to get a splitter to add another molex connection?

Molex fans - not enough connections to PSU

I'm finishing up my new build. I've got 5 case fans. The exhaust fan in the back has a connection to the fan header on the mobo. The other 4 case fans all have molex connectors. My PSU came with one cable that has 3 molex power connectors. So I'm trying to figure out how to connect the 4th case...

Budget gaming build

Thanks. I do a lot of pinching pennys. As you saw from my edits, I ended up spending double what I had originally planned. But I just got a promotion and a better than expected raise, which takes effect in January, so I figured what the hell. Now I just need to see if I can compete with all the...

What group made you realize how great music is?

Definitely this. I was first exposed to Led Zeppelin around 1985, when I was 14. Before that, my music collection consisted of cassette tapes of whatever was popular on the Columbia House club. Stuff like Joan Jett, Cyndi Lauper, Blondie, Huey Lewis, The Police, Billy Idol, Van Halen, The Clash...

Budget gaming build

Order placed. I know you guys said 16GB wasn't needed and going to DDR4 3000 over 2133 is of debatable value, but Newegg had the 2x8GB on sale for 90 bucks, so it seemed worthwhile. Final build: Zalman ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ZM-Z9 NEO BLACK ASRock Z170A-X1 EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 FTW EVGA...
