They're pretty much identical will vary slightly depending on the game on which one pulls ahead. If you like here is a link to Toms GPR hierarchy chart. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

Like Garilia said both are equal and can go for the cheaper one. Here is a link to list here on Toms with PSU ratings that help you find models to stay away from and which might be slightly better. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Hey Blas, I personally would try and hold off till the end of the month and see what the new AMD 480 card brings. Hopefully will start seeing some benchmarks and how they compare to others in the next couple of weeks. They're VR ready according to AMD and are at a 200 dollar price point. Hope...

Over 1866 is possible actually if mobo supports it actually. I run low latency 2133 myself and it was detected properly on installation with no adjustments in bios required but I am running the Crosshair formula V - Z mobo also.

A lot of it is actually how the software is programmed and intels hyper threading is programmed for more than the true multi threading of AMDs cpus. If you go to a multi threaded program like some of the business software and AMD will win hands down.

Yes those should be compatible look at your motherboard specs. that's where you'll find what is supported easily by what you have.

Sound they both are just under 43 dba from the reviews on both cards here on toms so back to personal preference and which one you like better.

Both are very close in fps in gaming on average so it comes down to nvidia specifics with their drivers and same for amd and their mantle. Here's a link shows few benchmarks of where the 290 comes in among other cards including 780...

If you what you stated it has on the 12 v rail is correct then you should be fine the 750 Ti actually doesn't use a lot of power. The geforce website actually only says it requires 300 watt PSU and knowing that it doesn't use much power you should be fine and good to go your system won't draw a...

In order to know for sure need to know the rest of your system specs and the exact make and model of PSU would help. On the side of the PSU should be who made it like Corsair CX 400 or something similar. Someone can get you good advice with that info.

That card would push the limit on 1 of those rails 170 watt of the 216 and you would be best suited to use the link I posted above and find yourself a good 500 or 550 watt PSU from tier 1 or 2 especially if you plan on OCing since you do have an unlocked CPU.

Your PSU has 3 - 216 watt 12 volt rails and 1 - 9.6 watt rail not ideal. Like i7baby mentioned which video card you have will help guide you in the right direction and would be best most likely with a PSU upgrade from tier 1 or 2 from the following list...

You most likely from the pictures I can see on the design you will have to lay it on it's side and use a screwdriver to take a screw holding them on from the bottom.

If it wasn't set up for cloud saves in steam for the game then it put the saves most likely in My Documents folder in a folder with the games name.

Well if you don't plan on doing any overclocking you'll be ok with that PSU and will last you awhile I'm running a CX currently for a few years or so now and no problems yet.
