Have you installed any audio drivers (usually included with the motherboard drivers) when you built the PC? Did you plug the headset correctly (headphone - green jack, mic - pink jack)? Did you plug them in the front panel headphone jack? If so, did you check if the front panel audio connector...

The Sapphire R9 280X TRI-X has a length of 30.8 cm (308 mm). http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1227&lid=1&pid=2072 The Cougar Pioneer seems like it can only support roughly 30.5 cm (~305 mm). http://youtu.be/5zOk76lDll8?t=9m39s The HDD isn't removable also...

I believe the fuse will break (on the AVR) to protect the device/s connected to the AVR. "pls suggest what VA or W should i buy for my AVR, no plans of getting a PSU as power interruptions rarely happens back here on my place" I guess you're talking about UPS (uninterruptible power supply)...

I have a PC that has similar specs (FX-6300 & R9-270x). I would like to suggest that you get a CPU cooler. I had to under clock it or lower the settings whenever I play Archeage otherwise it heats up on stock heat sink and crashes (but it doesn't on CS:GO, WOW, Dirt3 and BF3 ^_^). Look for...

You can probably use a GPU bracket like this http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/138-kraken-g10-gpu-bracket.html

It could be the GPU or CPU or both of them that is overheating. You could probably play the games if you lower the graphics settings and/or resolution. Have you tried playing on low or medium graphics settings? I would suggest that you clean the case/components and ensure that there is ample...

If you are using Realtek, you can try to mute the rear output device when using headphones. http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/sound-audio/13660d1356697214-front-panel-audio-jacks-not-muting-speakers-661d1185013372-latest-realtek-hd-audio-driver-version-manager.jpg

You can use CPU coolers for the VAYA. If you are going to buy an aftermarket CPU cooler make sure to check the cooler's height. The VAYA can support a maximum CPU cooler height of 15.5 cm.

I think the prefixes refer to the Intel motherboards. B - business H - home Z - supports unlocked CPUs M - micro ATX N - mini ITX X - uses advanced digital power (Z77 chipset and later) or extra features such as SLI (prior to Z77) With regards to the code names, you can look it up in here...

If I were to pick between the two, I would choose the Cooler Master N300. It can fit CPU coolers like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or 240 mm radiator and can support additional fans for more cooling.

The Sharkoon Vaya only includes one fan. I suggest that you buy an extra fan for better cooling. specs - http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/node/1902 As an alternative, there is the Cooler Master N300 (has 2 case fans included) but it exceeds your €30 budget...

You might need a motherboard BIOS update if you buy a B85 motherboard for it will support your CPU (i5 4590 is a Haswell Refresh CPU). I would suggest that you take a look at H97 motherboards since they are newer (although more expensive). They will support your CPU out of the box like the...

Since you are buying the non-K CPU, you can save money by pairing it with an H97 motherboard like a Gigabyte H97-D3H http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-H97M-D3H-LGA1150-Motherboard-USB3-0/dp/B00K872FB2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1408381915&sr=8-4&keywords=H97+motherboard @ £64.00 The money you save...

The reviews have different results with one slightly at par or better than the other. http://www.technic3d.com/review/kuehler/1349-cooler-master-gemin-ii-m4/4.htm http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-components/cases-cooling/cooling/cooler-master-geminii-m4-1041459/review...
