Your components should fit without a hitch.

If got walls blocking, most likely WiFi would be weak... Recommended to get homeplugs?

Can someone check if the above system will fit into the case and be compatible with one another?


Now I'll need a WiFi Adapter.
PC to be placed on table or floor?
-Floor
Which internet provider plan and router are you using now?
-How do i check
Is your home in a relatively new apartment built in the past 8 years?
-No
How far is your upcoming PC located from the router?
-8m?
Any obstruction between router and PC’s path?
-2 walls

Either wait for PSU to restock or get the 550W version from t258jgn (forum nickname)

Find out from whoever sign up for the internet service at home...

Is this a homeplug? I have this at home. Will this be sufficient or good enough?

This is a bad homeplug. If i rmb correctly, max throughput is 100Mbps, so minus overhead u only get 50-70Mbps.

Not MBps but Mbps. 1 Byte = 8 bits.

And homeplug's typical efficiency is only around 20%....

Getting 30 Mbps will already be godsend for that homeplug...

So should i get a better homeplug or a wifi adaptor?

Ehh I think you are confusing yourself between the 2.

U must have a wireless adapter (or onboard wifi) if u require wireless connectivity. Homeplugs simply increase your wireless network range in your apartment which may not be necessary for everyone.

Anyway if your smartphone/tablet is able to connect to your Wi-Fi network (with decent signal strength of course, do a speedtest) in your room where your desktop is going to be placed, it should work fine

I think you confused yourself and TS further. What you are referring to is wireless extender/repeater and not homeplugs with direct wired LAN to LAN connection we are referring to here.

The one on top right corner room is using the traditional powerline 'homeplug' while the one of the left corner is what you are referring to.

Do you have any PC that you can try out the homeplug you have at home? Test the speed using speedtest.net and show us your speed.

Not everyone is willing to create all the hassle and sacrifice home reno for cabling...

If you interested I got a msi gtx 970 armor to sell, not the gaming version. Bought from videopro. Order on black Friday on 27 Nov but no stock suppose to be birthday gift endup I need to bought a replacement gift. Collect the card today from videopro with 3 yr local warranty. Only open to test the card. Selling at $430. If no buy by this weekend going to install into my system

Forget to include, you can claim a free game from nvidia with gtx 970.

Tested it using my laptop and the results are horrible
Download and upload speed only 20+Mbps, using my laptop WiFi i got slightly better results.
Didn't know my connection was so bad
What are your suggestions?

 

[radiobox]

For WiFi depend what is your bottlenecks. Use your laptop with LAN cable connection do 1 test as baseline. Than laptop WiFi bedside your router for 2 nd test. Last is laptop WiFi at your final location. Normally WiFi connect isn't that good. The 2nd and last test is see how much you lost over the distance

I rather he tests on his laptop at the location for his new PC.

Most likely he gonna get better homeplugs to resolve the problem...

If i get a homeplug i wouldn't need a wifi adaptor? If so, do you know any suitable homeplug for me?

Yup meaning you will run wired via home power grid as you've did that on your laptop earlier.

How old is exactly your home (or wiring specifically)? Older ones tend to deteriorate over time and reduces performance.

I am using Sineoji 1800 Mbps homeplugs and i am getting 200~300 Mbps for M1 1Gbps on my 16yo Sengkang HDB... Best speed attained by others can be up to 400 Mbps IIRC. Mine is already one of the best homeplug model on local market.

Fresh result from speedtest:

Good thing Sineoji can offer you a trial speedtest at your home with appointment booking over at networking subforum.

Considering that my plan is 200Mbps, what's the speed should i be expecting?
