If your cheap you can wait for a mod or some body to see this question and they are really good at trouble shooting.

No that (in theory) wont help. Try running the pc minus the card and see if it boots properly. If it does then its a problem with your card not being seated properly or not being plugged in all the way.( or the cards just messed up for lack of a better term)

He may have a problem with his drivers, i mean he is going from AMD to Nvidia. I would make sure under display adapters (in device manager) there is no amd driver installed. If so uninstall it and install the proper Nvidia driver from Nvidias site.

May i ask what PSU you have? Also does the pc make it to the bios or is it just black screen?

Well i would start with running mem test to route out a memory issue. The reason id start here is because twitch.tv uses a lot of ram and almost zero graphics. The next thing i would make sure your cpu temp isnt through the roof (you didnt list a cooler). This could cause thermal throttling in...

If you are new to the water cooling scene i would suggest the swiftech h220. Its more like a pre assembled custom loop than an AIO.

g skill ram should do you well, they're nice and cheap but have a very low failure rate. 8gb should be enough for what you are planning on doing. If you want heat sinks http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16820232248 If you're all for the simple black ram look...

I'm looking for something like a GTX 770 4GB or an R9 290 or a R9 380 4GB. I need the 4GB as i like to do modding of games like skyrim and I would also like a bit of future proofing with 4GB. FYI I live in the Northeast.

I only know that mayhem sells great dye for liquid cooling systems, the only trouble being that I do not know how to drain and refill AIO coolers as they don't have a dedicated pump.

if you only have 240 to spend I would recommend saving up for one of the combos Zach stated or buying a gtx 750 ti as you will most likely need a power supply upgrade with this purchase as well. ( unless you have a solid 450-500 watt unit)

if you are trying to get the most performance for your money find the lowest cost CPU that wont bottleneck the best graphics card you can buy. This is typically a 380 and a FX-6300 as both the phenom and 4350 will both bog down in CPU intensive games.

well if you are fine with the puke brown stock Noctuas the nf12's are the go to fans. if not the industrial series have a nice toned down black look but they have a tendency to be a bit louder as they spin up to 2000 rpm. A cheaper option is the cougar vortex which has a pretty solid cfm for...
