The two major trends in GPUs have been more horsepower for the same amount of money and marginally less power use. A GTX 770 is roughly equal to a 680, a 670 was roughly equal to a 580 (if i remember correctly), a 570 was roughly equal to a 480 (again, iirc). Cost per X amount of horsepower...

The survey is telling me "file size too large" - I tried 1.5mb and 900kb files. What's the maximum allowed file size? Edit: The maximum allowed file size is 500kb. I hope g-sync works well in Quake Live, ideally with zero perceptible input lag.

No. DDR3 consumer ram runs at a maximum of 1.65v. It does not put out enough heat to affect the cpu. Ram frequency (1333, 1600, 2133 mhz) does not directly increase heat output. However, higher speeds tend to require more voltage. Again, this is not enough to affect the cpu.

Asus already sells a 144hz monitor named VG248QE. It can be purchased online for about $266. Gsync adding $100+ to the cost of an identicly named monitor is a tough sell. I hope that isn't the case. Edit: The monitor is the same. You have a choice of buying the gsync module and modding it...

I would be very surprised if the motherboard did not support voltage adjustments. In fact, it may do so automatically - motherboards receive DRAM timing information from the DIMMs themselves, and often set an adequate voltage at that time. For more precise adjustments, you can change the...

The GTX 770 is a brand new graphics card. Of course it will be good for 1080p gaming! If your sig is accurate, the CPU or low amount of ram will likely become the bottleneck in your setup.

Best case scenario: 2x SSD 6gbps = 1,000 MB/sec 3x SSD 3gbps = 600 MB/sec Real world performance figures are lower. I read an article recently (on Tom's, perhaps?) that downplayed the usefulness of Raid-0ed SSDs. Raid 0 wasn't worth it, the article explained, until a "queue depth of 4 or...
