The PSU isn't the only issue here. Do you really think you can run heavy-duty games on a dual-core CPU with 3 GB RAM?

There's no shame in not knowing how to build a computer. But the solution is simple: Just buy a computer from HP or Dell. Simpler. Cheaper. More reliable. No build-induced headaches.

It's just election year politicking (a little early, but nevertheless).

In another thread it was reported that the monitor identification feed to the PC was disrupted by a recent Windows update. Perhaps that update caused this problem, too?

Four years ago I paid $80 for a 250 GB drive.
So today, $157 for a 3 TB drive is cheap.
That's 6x more for the dollar.
CHEAP!

Silly. :)

If your DNS server is not performing well, it should be fixed.

So meanwhile, you choose an alternate DNS server and claim that your speed is improved? That's not an improvement....

Instead, I'd simply find out if any of it auto-runs at startup (and disable that).
I'd see if any of it runs as background services (and disable them).
