My dad downloads a ton of stuff through various Chinese websites and programs, and it lags the hell out of me when I play games (and just regular browsing). On the other hand, I can torrent at max speed, or stream videos and not lag at all.

What exactly is causing this huge difference? He's not downloading at max speed, but it feels like it takes up 90% of the connection.

Been playing on a trial account. Started playing without the UI so often I figured I might as well throw a quick video of it. Freaking AoE machine.

I've searched a bit on Google about this, but all the answers seem to be varied. I recently bought a new CPU, mobo, SSD, and RAM to upgrade my computer to get rid of most of the old HP parts.

What I want to do is install Windows 7 onto the SSD, however, the free copy I can get is a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade (on a USB cause I am cheap). I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM? Not sure how to call it, it came with the computer.) How would I go about installing Windows 7 on the SSD? Would it auto detect that I have an existing Windows 7 on another HD?

Also, I'd like to upgrade the firmware of the SSD. I'm not sure if it will be running a recent version or not. However, flashing new firmware likely wipes the drive, so what would be the best way to upgrade the firmware and install Windows 7 in the least steps possible?

I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and Motherboard in the near future, as those are some of the last remaining parts of my old HP computer. My current CPU is the old i7, an i7 860 2.8 GHz. I can't change only the CPU because the current motherboard is LGA 1156 (and there are probably locks in place); the CPU I want is an i7 2600K (which is LGA 1155). Meaning I need to upgrade both. ...Yay. The reason I want to go with i7 rather than i5 is because I do quite a bit of video editing.

i7 2600K - I'll probably be buying it from a nearby Microcenter so the price will probably be more around $200-230 rather than $299.

However, I don't really know much about what I need for a motherboard.

List of what I have (if that's any help):
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W
GPU: nVidia GTX 465
RAM: 4x2GB (DDR3-1333)
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM (might be adding a SSD in the future, or an extra HD)
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 500R
-4 x 120mm fans (might be 4 + H60 Radiator)
-1 x 200mm side fan
Extra: CD/DVD Drive

Also USB 3.0 preferred. Additionally, I most likely won't ever be doing SLI or Crossfire.

I really don't want to break my bank over a motherboard, if that's possible. Maybe $200 or less? The lower and suits all the parts the better. Any suggestions?

Anyone know how to obtain it? The one I'm referring to is this: http://bns.plaync.co...article/620?p=3

I believe you have to redeem it at http://nshop.plaync.co.kr/gift_coupon/ but nothing shows up.

daman said it's for CBT2 entry users. Does that mean one that participated in CBT1-3 doesn't fit the conditions? D:
