Is this a good gaming pc setup? Whats the best way to connect it to the internet?

Question

Now this is my proposed build and would like some feedback on it. Also how should i connect this to the internet for optimal speed? I was going to go with an Ethernet connection to the router?

Answer 1

Sounds like a very smart rig. Though save yourself some hassle, buy Windows 7 Ultimate, and instead of using Kaspersky which is, frankly, awful, and use the built-in free virus sweeper, and download the free version of Malware Bytes. You're more secure for less money.



And now that you've got a great rig, please don't spoil it by getting a terrible monitor. Contrary to bizarre belief, a television does not make a good monitor. Not even a brand shiny new Samsung HDTV with 3D clever jiggery pokery. This is because televisions are designed to make a heavily compressed picture look decent by applying all sorts of filters and combing that would make your average cheap computer monitor weep liquid crystal.



Take time, in an actual shop with the monitors in front of you, to pick a monitor that you like, and is comfortably adjustable. I would suggest, if you have the funds, an OLED monitor for superb colours and deep blacks, as well as brilliant response time. AOC actually have a decent range of OLED monitors for people on a budget.



If you're going to game, on an excellent gaming computer, buy an excellent gaming monitor.

Answer 2

Purchase a wi-fi router in your residence. The router could hook up among your PC and your ADSL Modem and will have to include a setup disk to get you going. You can hook up the PC to the Router (regularly) by way of a LAN cable, as an alternative than having to shop for a wi-fi card for the PC. The Laptop will then attach for your new little residence community via the Router. Enabling dossier sharing will permit you to proportion documents and different assets among the computer and the PC.

Answer 3

id say 10/10 for gaming pc, just plug it in and play
