I think that's it unless you compter and sim experts can think of anything else. I feel like an idiot trying to figure this stuff out. Don't want this to be trial and error and would like to run high graphics at a decent fps.

Thanks Again Everyone

Well got everything i posted up top. I thought i got a good deal on the gc but i accidently gor the 3g. After watching u tube i installed the card and the psu. Two problems. I downloaded tgc and played with a mouse and on medium settings i had terrible shutter/low fps. Is this because of the 3g gc? Also my desktop wont pick up my router via wifi. I installed the gc and psu before i ever turned the computer on so i dont know if it worked before. Any suggestions lol

Make sure that you are plugging your HDMI into the video card and not the motherboard. Even the 3GB 1060 should play TGC on high with the trees turned down to about 1/5 of max. At those settings, TGC should look and play smooth with that computer. As for the wifi , make sure that you have the latest drivers for your devices.

Make sure your computer isnt doing Windows updates at the same time you are playing TGC. That could cause a significant slowdown.

Its possible that was happening. How do i check the fps on tgc.

Hope you have a good friend that knows computers well! If you have problems with a home build ,can be a BEAR !

Well figured out the wifi issue. After uninstalling and reinstalling and doing different commands i saw to fix on youtube and also manually updating drivers I decided to tear it apart. I must have unplugged the antenna cables when installing the psu and today I plugged them back in and it works now hahaha im an idiot 3 hours wasted doing stupid stuff. I also took the 4g memory stick out and left the 8g in and the computer seems faster. Still a little laggy at times on tgc with default settings.

Does anyone know how to turn my ivp/tcp settings back to default. All those commands i put in off youtube videos has me nervous lol.
