Right guys problem ! Ano use will be shocked but hay I'm upgrading this month but on the computer other side of house next to router via LAN is getting 20mbs
On my old computer with the same wireless card it was only getting 6-10mbs
But for some reason this new computers only getting like 500kbs for about 30seconds and then it's literally getting nothing for about a minuite then 500 for 30sec and so on and so on !

Helpppp!

Some Belkin router , think the card is aswell ad it's quite far from the router , just weird how I was getting 6-10mbs as it was just the old computer and recieved and built this yesterday and used same wifi card and it's hardly getting anything , recon some settings somewhere?

No the cables are fine they just look weird because of the pic the cables all run through the otherwise but there's some nice airflow I used an old fan on the side the one in pic but the case is really good for ventilation and see the CPU cooler front the front and looks really good with the lights from the old fan shining in I'll try an get some better pic off it all
My phone died as we was building because I was at my mates doing it but I'll take sOme pics only things that had trouble with we're the powers for the gpu

I usually put my thermal paste in the barrel of a shotgun, then shoot the cpu until I feel it has enough paste.

Erm ok if that's what floats your boat so be it I'll stick with the pea method and it seams to of worked anyway lol
What type of shot gun do you use btw?
