I have good internet and used to always have less than 100ms ping on dota 2. Nowadays when on US East/West (I'm located in the midwest) I have mid to high 200s ms ping which is a pain. I know when diretide came out the servers were busy and people's ping may have gotten worse, but I am consistently the highest ping in the game when I didn't used to be.
My internet is really fast so this is sad. Anyway to troubleshoot this perhaps?

Also (maybe related?) twitch now buffers every minute or so for maybe ~15 seconds whether watching a livestream or VOD, pretty annoying, but I think some other people have this same issue.

I have a fully updated wol client, is there any way I can use it to play hots without blowing 1/4 of my monthly cap on a duplicate installation, because I can't seem to access hots without doing that :s. I just upgraded my account today, and restarted the client a few times, if it helps.
Cheers.

It should be the exact same client. Basically, someone with WoL will have the full HotS on his drive, just not accessible. I don't know how to switch between the two if it does not want to do it by itself.

Yeah, that's how it should be, but I've searched the internet to no avail, and everyone I know says they just downloaded the new one. If nobody has any other ideas I guess I'll just download it  .

I see a selection to switch between expansions in the options screen under the gameplay tab.

Yeah, but (on WoL) mine is to switch between hots(starter) and wol T_T. I downloaded the new to the "playable" part (750MB) and it works for HotS, but for some reason my WoL client is messed up .

I have an SSD and a conventional HDD. I want to have all of the Windows system files on the SSD, and all of my programs and files on the HDD. Is there an easy way to set this up during the install process for Windows 7?

Just install the programs on HDD? There's a few things like documents folder that you can move over and change where it's set to save

can a GTX 260 work without any pins plugged into it? oO
I have a cyberpower 600w psu, but it doesn't seem to have additional cables for the gpu, so it's just plugged in to the mobo. the monitor/keyboard never come on, but it seems to be a mobo issue since it beeps 4 times, not gpu.

I have no clue where the extra cabling is. I used to have this psu powering the GTX 260.

You probably had molex to PCIe power adapters plugged into it.

Small question regarding my PSU and usable GPUs for future upgrades...
I have a beQuiet Straight Power E7 480W PSU: http://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/41
My system:
i5 3570k@4.2GHz
AMD HD6870 (not OC'd)
1x 2TB Seagate HDD
1x 500GB WD Black
1x Samsung SSD
1x DVD-R
Which would be the actual GPU Chip my PSU still could handle (e.g. R9 280X/ GTX 770)?

That should be possible. Your PSU promises it can do 420W on 12V. The GTX770 promises to use at most 230W in its specifications. I don't know where to find the same specs for the R9 280X. The AMD card also has the same 8-pin + 6-pin power connectors.
The specifications for the power of all the connections of the graphics card works like this:
The slot itself can supply 75W.
6-pin connector: 75W
8-pin connector: 150W
So a card with 6-pin and 8-pin connector is not allowed to pull more that 300W (on paper).
That should work out alright. Your little overclock will not make the CPU use up the rest of the possible 420W at 12V your PSU can do.
You can ignore the recommendations of AMD and NVIDIA a little. They try to be safe regarding bad PSUs that can't be run at their limit, or regarding PSUs that are sold as doing 550W while they can only do 450W on 12V.

Is is just me or it's a nightmare to play some Arcade lately? Half of the time, it reports error while downloading. The other half of the times, I'm stuck in the "Entering Lobby" forever.

Some of the reccomendations are overshooting, some are undershooting.
770 @1293mhz reports ~ 185w in unigine heaven and similar in most games, and stock clocks are a lot lower. It has a 230w "tdp". 680 is the same GPU, uses the same amount of power, but the TDP is like 50w lower.
Guru3d estimated power charts are pretty decent for stock numbers, though they don't quote the clocks that the kepler cards are boosting to with gpu boost 2.0, and it's significantly different gpu to gpu
