Great computer but needs built in WiFi

If needing maximum internet speed Ethernet is the right solution but onboard WiFi could be added for a few bucks. Otherwise only issue is with Windows 10 which is not a knock on Cybertron since mail client in 10 sucks.

The NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter with high-gain antennas provides 3x faster access than USB 2.0. Wirelessly connect your notebook or desktop computer to an 11ac network for applications such as lag-free, multiple HD streams throughout your home.

I think this computer has the fan with LED lighting my question is , is there a way to turn off the LED light ?

Other than unplugging fan I don't think so.

I just received my Cybertron PC - Palladium Z170 and...... it came with NO setup instructions at all. So, I plugged in the keyboard, mouse monitor, power cord, sound cord, RS232 cable, fired it up, and I got lights, humming, and nothing else. Now what?

Probably hooked monitor to wrong port. Call Cybertron.

I'm not a gamer however looking at this computer it looks to be very powerful and fast. I like the price for what you get . My question is can I use it as a regular computer using programs like Office/Word, my daily computing, emailing and video editing?

Yes, for daily computing but transistion to 10 from XP is not easy.

I use the internet at school, and the signal cuts in and out constantly which is really annoying while doing hw, or studying. Is this the solution or is it becuase the schools router sucks? Will this improve my internet "signal reception" of my laptop?

Should get the best range possible when using remote setup but your environment would require experienced RF guy to determine if you are in a null, if router runs out of bandwidth, distance to router/access point, or other stuff too weird to mention (micowave oven close by for instance). I used to do that as part of my early career.

Will this allow wireless internet connection to my blue Ray player Sony BDP-S185?

No experience with this but should work if a USB port available on your player

This BenQ BL2711U 27" monitor offers stunning image details for lifelike visuals with 4K Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 resolution. The ultrafast 4 ms response time changes the colors of each pixel quickly to ensure crisp graphics free of blurring and streaking.
 

Is the HDMI cable that comes with this monitor 2.0? Is there any reason to purchase a better quality HDMI cable? I want to make sure the full resolution is appearing on the screen as my HD laptop at 1090 looks almost better than my 27" BenQ at 3,840

Some say the better cable improves things but I am not sure. I tried a 2.0 cable and didn't see a difference. I believe the video card determines the performance in most cases.

Does the HDMI ports support 4k at 60FPS for console gaming? Im looking for a monitor that will pair nicely with the scorpio thats coming.

Yes but response time is 4 ms I think. I am not a gamer and it probably will not work as well as gsync.

Does this come with a displayport cable? I love the price and am ready to buy, I just don't want to receive it and realize I need to go buy a display port cable whereas the LG model comes with it!

I think so but check the specs. It came with a lot of cables but I only used HDMI.

Does anyone know if this monitor would work good for photography post processing using photoshop? And can this monitor be calibrated?

Good monitor for accurate post processing out of the box but should do calibration for best results.
