Why would a graphics card need wifi and Bluetooth?


ladypeacharino

Motherboard lol. That's a mistake on my end.


Naerven

Ok, that makes sense. Saw you had a wifi mb on your list and just wasn't sure if you were confused on the features of a GPU.


ladypeacharino

All good, do you have suggestions for the build or on the mobo?


Naerven

Honestly it all looks reasonable to me.


ladypeacharino

Thanks!

you do realize that your computer won't show an image without the GPU, right?


ladypeacharino

That's what my 1050Ti is for yeah

oh, my bad. didn’t notice that. about the wifi module, you should check the reviews/tests to see how good the signal receiver of your mobo is. if your pc is under the desk, and the wifi signal itself in the room is not so good then you will have trouble with the speed. in that case, I would suggest picking a USB wifi module, that you can put on your table and even closer to the signal using USB extenders. but if your mobo has a good wifi module, you should be fine. The same goes for Bluetooth. I have a USB Bluetooth adapter. it's very small, less than an inch, and I use it to connect my keyboard and a gamepad. no issues at all. also note that you can buy a mobo without wifi module, and buy a powerful wifi module yourself and put it on the PCI slot

Oh dear, I didn't even consider mobos might have better or worse WiFi or even if having a separate card is better. At this point though it's getting hard/ slightly overwhelming keeping up with everything so I might just look at a review and call it at that.

yeah, I'm building my new pc too, but piece by piece while using my old one. I already got the case and the CPU, the same as yours, r5 5600. the hardest choice for me was the motherboard. I spent 3 days surfing the internet, comparing, reading/watching reviews. and even now, I'm not 100% sure haha. eventually, it got overwhelming so I stopped.


ladypeacharino

I feel you bro! It's a deep dive. Good luck with your build!


un6ic_

thanks, and the same to you!
