I needed an inexpensive means of receiving over the air tv. For in town setups, this antenna does a good job of grabbing what's available. It can be hung, laid flat or comes with a handy stand. May require some positioning experimentation for best results.

Power supplies in general are taken for granted. They just need to work. As a builder, I haven't given much thought to power supplies until recently. Power supply standards have evolved substantially over the years. EVGA has a good reputation, and has thoughtfully designed this power supply with a great feature set. They are a great value at the $50-60 price range. I did purchase a second one, so I guess I must like them.

I have not read the book, so I had no pre-expectations. I felt the story was well told, and the movie direction was competent. It was kind of dark, but I'm an oldster, so I just had to tough it out.

Ok, so I needed a card to match my I5 2500K rig. I play some racing games and this card does the job well at 1080. Good news: Forza Motorsport 6 runs smooth on high (not ultra) setting. Bad news, Forza Horizon 3 doesn't run on an I5 2500K. So I don't know how the card runs the game. After much research, this card is a good match for this rig. If you have a faster CPU, get a faster card. Don't pay more than $120 for an RX 460 4GB.

I Live on the first floor of an apartment in the middle of town. Should I have a problem getting reception and should putting it close to a window help? Also, will I need a longer cord to help it reach? Thank you

I am looking to change the graphics card on my PC linked in the picture. However to do that I would also have to change the power supply, would this power supply be sufficient to run with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 in my current pc?
Images for this Question
(click to see full-size image)
Yes, this power supply will power any graphics card needing up to 300 watts power. The GTX970 maxes out at around 274 watts fully stressed. If you plan to run this card hard like gaming with details cranked or crypto mining, you should consider going to a 750 watt power supply.

This PNY NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 graphics card features 2GB DDR3 memory and multiple NVIDIA technologies, including PhysX and CUDA, for lifelike graphics performance during gaming. A PCI Express 2.0 interface enables simple, versatile installation.
will intel core 2 quad handle this
I would think so. I would recommend bumping your choice up to a 750 or even a 950. You'll get a lot more out of this setup than the 730.

4K Blu-Ray Discs
Is this player capable of playing 4k Blu-ray Discs? Or can it only upscale 1080p content such as conventional BR discs to near 4k?
No, standard blu rays and some earlier formats.

4k signal
I have a Vizio M55-C2 4K tv. If i buy this 4K upscale bluray player and hook it up, put a bluray movie and go to tv info will it say 1080p or 4K signal. Right now when i play 4K netflix movies it says 4K on info and when i play netflix on my apple tv says 1080p.

My Sharp Aquos indicates a 2160 mode when this BDPS6500 is playing blu rays. I would expect your Visio would see this as well, but I'm not certain.

Does this upscale Bluray discs or only the streaming?
Or does it only upscale Streaming media as it states in the product title? Also I posted a photo of the exact wording of the product description. In the product title, it says "Streaming 4k Upscaling", as in Netflix etc.. no where have I read the phrase "Bluray Playback Upscaling". Always difficult to decipher their wording, and now im starting to have my doubts.
I'm not absolutely certain about this unit's ability to upscale blu rays. Most 4k tvs have upscaling built in, so it's difficult to know exactly whose circuitry is at work. I do know with my setup that some blu rays look much better than others. Wizard of Oz and Sound of Music looked stunning, but Mary Poppins only looks ok but not as good. Remastered movies often will look better because they painstakingly have rescanned them. Newer movies look really nice, but remember, it might be the tvs upscaler working with or against the blu ray player. Netflix 4k shows upscale extremely well, and generally I'm not disappointed at all with what I'm seeing in blu ray playback. If you want the best possible blu ray upscaler, look into getting an Oppo.
