re: Help me pick out a Video Card for my son's gaming PC

I strongly recommend upgrading CPU to 5600x or 5600x3d if near a Microcenter to go with that 4070. 2xxx Ryzen will bottleneck it at 1440. https://www.techspot.com/article/2201-four-years-of-ryzen-5-gpu-scaling/#google_vignette...

The router is pretty barebones as far as its configuration capabilities. Also, I pinged 100-110 to Dallas servers from BTR which is a non starter for gaming. For non gamers I'd consider it fine....

For someone working 10-12 hours a day, commuting another 2, there isn't much time or energy to prepare healthy meals, eat right, or exercise.
