Yeah, I'm surprised at the C7 starting to be flaky, I bought it on its rep. I had the wifi completely drop out across all devices twice today and for the last two weeks I've had periodic stoppages of webpages loading for 30-60 seconds at a go. I only updated my modem this year and it's not that, so I guess 3.5 years is a good run but just in case it keeps getting worse to the point of uselessness I just wanted some options. Thanks you two.
Might be worth updating the firmware, or at least re-flashing it if it's already at the latest.
On the topic of routers, if I wanted to buy one to stop giving xfinity $10 a month, any recommendations you folks might have?
You need to also buy a cable modem. They tend to go on sale often, so start with Wirecutter to get an idea of what's good or bad, then check sites like Slickdeals for ones on sale.
You connect the cable modem to your router and you're good to go.
Also important to check whether its on your internet provider's list of approved modems. I bought my own modem almost 2 years ago and havent had a single issue (Netgear CM1000).
Some ISP's (Spectrum, I'm looking at you) have zero approved modems
Spectrum gives you a modem for free though. Not rented or even sold, given.
Yeah but it's shit.
There's a reason I dumped Spectrum the second I was able to. The equipment was garbage and I was getting calls weekly for "special promotions!" even after being placed on a "do not contact" list and just fuck that company from top to bottom.

I'm looking at getting a gaming upgrade for my son, leaning towards a desktop for future upgradability but not opposed to a laptop for a good price. I threw together a Ryzen 3 system on PCPartPicker, trying to keep it as cheap as possible while not going complete bargain basement, and without video card (I have an R9 280X that I can use) it's still about $650 (including monitor, OS, and everything else). Does that seem like a reasonable price or are there better/cheaper options? We were hoping for something in the $500 range, and it doesn't have to be great, just an upgrade from his 4 year old laptop. Should I go with an older CPU?

Good call. I've updated it (and finding there was a note about the C7 having instability issues without more recent updates on TP Link's page) and we'll see how it goes.
I finally got the green light on my EVGA step-up from a 1080Ti to a 2080Ti. Was in the queue since September 26th, and bought my 1080ti on July 3rd on promotion not an unreasonable amount of time.
I now gotta figure out what waterblock might be a good fit for it.

I know Steve at GN was messing with 1 or 2 blocks. I also know that he got one so early that he was using coolers that had a "close enough" bolt pattern and allowed for some play; granted those were AIOs (from what I remember). By now, there should be 2080 Ti-specific blocks. Maybe check what Jay is using?

If you want to watercool it just make sure you have a reference design card. EKWB and Bitspower may at some point make blocks for non-reference design cards but who knows what the time on those will be.
I have a Heatkiller block for my 1080 and it's a goddamn work of art. However, blocks are all going to perform within a few degrees of one another, so just choose the one you like the looks of best.
If it's still available, I can get Acronis True Image 2017 for $10 US at Newegg. I had an old-old version of the program I have since lost the disk and key for, so I don't mind this. I have some uses for it in the near future; namely converting some laptops in the family to SSDs. Is that incarnation of the program worth it? Would it be more worthwhile to pick up a more current version? All I plan to do is clone drives; so I don't need it to do anything spectacular.
I may toy around with it to make a diagnostic/repair USB key, but that's a long term project.

I don't think I've ever gotten a promotional phone call from Charter Spectrum. Then again, even if I did, considering they are far and away the least terrible option for internet where I live in Georgia, I wouldn't leave them. The next option is DSL or crappy Fiber--it's no contest.
More relevantly, I doubt modems are "gifts" in my area, but we're not charged a monthly fee for one (at least the first one). Which is probably just a clever scheme to bypass people buying their own cable modems, so they absorb it and raise the service price accordingly
Eh, they're still the best internet over here by a long shot. Their basic 100 mbps down, which I finally got over the 60 that I was stuck with for ages without changing my plan, is...what? 15 times faster than AT&T DSL at the same price?

Decent offer, with all internals being some degree of improvement. The extra monitor would go nicely with my Steamlink.
That said, I feel much of what I have doesn't need replacing. A new mainboard, CPU, and RAM should be enough to modernize my current build. That seems to end up being ~$450 for an i5-8400 w/16GB and a just-okay mainboard; $500+ if I bought a deluxe board. Would the closest AMD CPU/cooler/board/RAM upgrade fix my huge CPU bottleneck for a lot less, or am I looking at $450+ either way?
Are you hitting any FPS bottlenecks on anything? You shouldn't have a huge CPU bottlenecks.
I don't think you'd see a massive improvement for $900. It would be some, but the CPU would be a wash mostly, the GPU is better but not mind blowingly and you could get that separate. As you said, better off updating your current rig for less. As for AMD you could save a little (like $15 or so) and get like 15% better performance I think going with a 2600X. So a wash more or less there too.
Mostly if you're willing to upgrade your current PC, probably better path than the $900 one.

I'm running dual 1080p monitors at 120Hz (formerly 144). I don't hit the performance I should with a 970; never have. It got noticably worse after the Meltdown patches, especially streaming performance. Everything points to the dated CPU holding it back.
If AMD can offer superior performance for less, I'll need to learn about their motherboards. Where can I learn about 2600X-compatible AMD chipsets available on ASUS boards?
Unless you're planning to do serious overclocking or need oodles of PCI slots, then a B450 is the chipset you want. If you do need all those things I mentioned then an X470 is the way to go.
I have an MSI Tomahawk B450 and it's been pretty great so far.

Part one of my new workstation battlestation is complete. The keyboard tray is installed and operational. When folded it fits perfect into the alcove under my desk. When extended I have plenty of room for reclining. It'll still be a few weeks for the chair to be delivered though. Even with my old chair and the ottoman I was more comfortable last night than I had had ever been at that desk.

Don't know the full story, but it sounds like you dodged the developing injury bullet, which is awesome; being broken by your hobby sucks, even if you do recover.
Any computer desk needs to present its KBAM at a height custom-fit to its user. Just using the desktop will eventually injure anyone's body. The elbow-height writing desk standard makes a terrible typing surface. While there's increased public awareness, it doesn't yet seem to be "the norm"; people are still commonly injured by poor desk setups.

I have a chair that doesn't go very high and no keyboard tray so as a result my arm alignment is right around the bottom of my ribcage (straight out, arms not bent much).
I haven't noticed any big issues but this does aggravate an already existing shoulder injury.
I've got a chair that has fairly high armrests, and I keep the chair height a bit on the high side so that my elbows are supported. I've also got a wrist rest for typing, which is more vital than I every originally expected.
My 1080Ti is in the hands of @UPS , I also live in SoCal where EVGA is located so hopefully the turn-over time is fast for the 2080Ti step-up. I'm on Ryzen so I can't run my machine without a graphics card.

A few months back I hurt my wrist trying to install a new belt on my washer. It started hurting pretty bad when I was at my desk in any position but sitting straight upright. On top of that, I'd been using the shelf under my desk with a pillow on it as a footrest. It was never very comfortable and caused stress on my hip joints. Over the last few months this has been taking a high toll on my body. I ordered a super high end power adjust recliner to replace my current chair which is falling apart. It's a custom order so it's just going to take a while to get it.

I guess I can just google self-ergo assessment.
While OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the US Dept. of Labor) may be charged with workplace safety, computer desks are just that regardless of where they are. They've got a handy guide regarding computer desk ergonomics. Didn't spot an OSHA assessment, though that doesn't rule out its existence.
There's dozens of self-assessments online by educational, government, and commercial institutions. There are checklists, documents, and even youtube videos, all indexed by major search engines. Obviously, none come with any guarantees when self-administered. If you want to be absolutely sure what you're doing, get the help of your medical doctor (or their referral to a specialist).

That doesn't surprise me, ray tracing is a very heavy technique. It's pretty amazing they got it performing that well even. I guess the question is how much framerate are you willing to give up for really, really nice reflections.

Used to be $200 would be the enthusiast price point. These days it seems like that's shifted to $300+.
Then nvidia realized they could capitalize on the desperation people had because of crypto and they've kept their prices nearly at 1k for enthusiast prices
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
Many years ago $200 was the baseline for something you could play games on. Enthusiast or "bang for the buck" was $300-400. Then high end was $500+. Prices are significantly higher than they used to be
