    i7-3770k Overclocking in XTU

    Huh... okay then. I was going for the octa-core thing, and the far greater speeds, but I guess I need to do more research

    PC doesnt boot up after I changed RAM

    Do you have a system speaker, and is it beeping? If you don't have one, go get one, install it, then if it beeps, tell us what the beep code is. Beep codes are like error messages for POST, it should tell us what's up with your PC.

    i cant see my nvidia driver app in my windows 8

    Try right clicking on your desktop and clicking NVIDIA Control Panel. If that's not there, try looking for it in control panel.

    i7-3770k Overclocking in XTU

    Okay great, I'll have a look. I'm starting to consider a complete upgrade from my intel 3770k to an AMD FX 8350, in which case I'd obviously need a new board, and not any of those, but we'll see. Either way I've got choices to make

    GTX 1060 Underperforming in Games

    Try opening up GPU-Z and checking the clocks. Compare them to the advertised clocks and if they're significantly lower, check the PerfCap Reason. Hope that helps

    GTX 660 voltage won't change on unlocked BIOS

    Okay so I've unlocked my BIOS with Kepler BIOS Editor, the fan and TDP unlock worked a treat, but the voltage slider in MSI Afterburner STILL will not do anything. Voltage readouts don't change a bit. I've got it to a +50 MHz core clock and a +450MHz memory clock and I want to drive it harder...

    Looking for solutions to game stutter or laggy gameplay

    My first stop would be to check your clocks... If they're low, then use GPU-Z or GPUShark or something to tell you what your limiting factor is. If not, check for things like background 3D applications and try setting the process priority to high. Hope this helps!

    How much ram do you think is needed in the future?

    I have 16GB of RAM and I've never had an issue with any games. I don't expect to in the near future either, mainly because very few systems are sold with higher RAM than that, and it would be unlikely for a games company to attempt to sell a game that's ahead of the hardware market.
