I bought and put together a new rig a few days ago and since this is my first build, there is a chance I did something wrong.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970-A-UD3P
Graphics Card: Asus GForce GTX 750 Ti
Processor: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-core 3.5 Ghz
SSD: 250 GB
HDD: WD Blue 1 TB
RAM GSkill Ripjaw X series 16 GB (2x8) DDR3 1866
Wireless Adapter: TP-LINK TL-WN822N Wireless N300 High Gain USB Adapter, 300 Mbps
OS: Win10

Whenever I use wireless or Ethernet internet and download something my ping skyrockets to 500 and the jitter is 400.
My download speed remains the same however. As soon as I stop the download my ping drops back to 50 for the rest of the house. The internet spike is felt by everyone else in the house until I take it off, and then it returns to normal.

I'm pretty sure I installed everything correctly and I updated my AMD drivers and my graphics card drivers. I thought it was just my wireless adapter until I connected my Ethernet and it did the same thing. Did I forget something or is my modem messed up or perhaps a faulty graphics card or something to that nature? Please answer promptly.

But should it make the connection drop every 5 minutes? This does not happen when this particular computer is not online. I don't think bandwidth would make it do that. As I mentioned, I just built this computer and I'm still trying to get the bugs out but I need to be pointed in the right direction so I can figure out why my ping spikes like crazy whenever I download anything and drops the connection incessantly.
