The CRG9 is a pretty old monitor now anyway, and can still get a much better flagship 16:9 1440p LG for less.

Depends on what you mean by outdated...
Performance is always increasing, but the costs are always high to stay on the bleeding edge.
As drd23 says, that monitor would need something like a 3070 to drive it with 'good' performance.

It's been a while since I've bought one, but I'd love to know how Humble Bundle calculate the "average". That has to be the most sus number in gaming.

Posting this here as I believe it's more modem/wi-fi related issue.
At my household, we were having the wi-fi drop out on all our devices, for like maybe 30 seconds or so. The PC is connected via Ethernet cable and that still worked during any wi-fi drop out.
I got some help (We are Telstra NBN) from Telstra and they got me to go into the modem setting and untick "band steering". This then somewhat removed the internet name (like TelstraDL039E) and added -5G to the end of it that we had to reconnect to. We reconnect all devices which was fine and we haven't had any drop out since (With TV, Phones). The issue I am having is with my PS5. I am connected to the wi-fi and when playing online, it is fine and quick. The problem appears to updating with game servers like FIFA and NBA2k. I get errors every time I try to connect to MyTeam on NBA and when going into the store on FIFA, it says there was a connection issue and kicks me out.
Can anyone explain why this issue is occurring? Why is it with the PS5 and why only when getting information from online servers for games?

The wifi router would be dual band, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. The band steering is forcing the use of 5ghz and probably why the router updated the network name. Not sure why there might be drop outs without more info. Looking around the net it might also be worth going into the network settings on the PS5 to manually set wifi bands to 5ghz rather than just automatic. Might be worth logging into the router to check if automatic port forwarding is also on and it didn't default to an off setting after messing with it.

When you go into network connection settings in the PS5 what's the NAT Type?
1, 2 or 3?

Nat type 2 is good, likely not a port forwarding issue then

If it's Type 2 then port forwarding isn't the issue.
If it's possible, try to see if your router logs anything when you get disconnected.
You can also run WireShark and see what your PS is doing.

Still patiently waiting for 3080 RTX to return to levels of sanity.
I want to watch the day 0 patch for BF 2042 download in all it's glory.

Super series is just around the corner, so Nvidia have cut supply. IMO the insanity is about to start right back up again
They believe the semiconductor shortage will last into 2023
I just gave up and get a prebuilt with a 3060 instead.
Was surprisingly well priced considering 3060s are selling for $1000 on their own right now.

I've started playing New World and as usual have the itch to buy a pc again. The laptop chugs along at around 45-60fps on high settings in that game. I don't want to stuff around ordering and waiting for parts so where will I find the cheapest pc that will run games like New World and WoW and any other future MMOs at a an extremely stable 60 fps full hd? I'm not after anything fancy as console is still my preference. Just looking for something in stock off the shelf.

How cheap is cheap? WoW is more CPU dependant than a lot of other games. It can be maxed out easily at 60+ fps with apparently as little as a 1660 as long as it has a decent CPU. Just quickly searching around looking at pre-made builds and seeing Ryzen 3600/RTX2060/16gb RAM builds for around $1800. Would that be too much? The 2060 would serve you well for anything else a little more demanding (presumably like New World) at 1080p.

I have no clue when it comes to computer parts. My mate sent me the below link and asked me my thoughts which is what prompted my post. Suppose we could use that as a base line. How would that go, and what are its downsides that need approving on?

That's going to be difficult given PC parts (especially graphics cards) are in a worse situation stock-wise than consoles are.
This will do it, but its $1999
Having a quick look at some PC parts shops, being in stock is going to be the hardest criteria to meet
This is probably what dwwaino is suggesting (and I'd second that suggestion)

The 980 is just about obsolete now. It would be possible to put something budget and more current together for around that price (or maybe just a tad more) but since that's not exactly easy at the moment this is about as cheap and relevant you will probably be able to find on the shelf. Otherwise keep an eye out for some budget gaming laptops when they go on sale at JB and stuff. Earlier this year I grabbed an ASUS TUF laptop with a 1660ti on sale for about $1600.

I wasn't sure off the top of my head so in that 10 minutes I spent looking I couldn't believe that 2060 builds were still pushing $2k. 1660 is a decent compromise for a casual gaming PC, but I find it hard recommending anything with a 1650 to anyone though those builds are still starting at $1500. Things really are in a bad way aren't they
