@jrgreed, typical consumer level cases tend to be able to fit full or near full gpus yes, but there are specialty cases out there that sometimes cannot do them. A handful of them are created by LianLi. One is the LianLi PC-05 (05 is the itx version). Its a beautaful m-ITX case with a full...

just to be sure, the gpu is connected with power right?

I wouldn't see why not. They both use the same core in essence, the only real difference is clocks and name on the gpu's bios. Even so, I would think it would be possible to flash one bios to the other, making it 100% sure that its possible

completely closed loops are maintenance free for the most part(maybe a little dust blowing). the risk you have is leaks, and warranty does not protect all of the parts, and will only refund you the amount(in items or money) of what they think is worthy after inspection of the unit.

pretty sure you mean Nvidia GPU, but to answer your question, yes you can run either brand gpu with either cpu choices

the reason why the asus dc2 doesnt do well on a 290x was that asus didnt really redesign the cooler when the 290x was released. 2 of the 4 heatpipes never even touch the hawaii core, and there's a gap between the other 2 that do, making the cooling performance subpar The heatsink on the Tri-X is...

20 megabits is theoretically 2.5 megabytes per second, did you look for drivers off an OEM or software?

post mantle patch, some of the cpu load will likely decrease since you are running a GCN based card. I'd expect you to run much better than 20 fps after that patch

its better to download drivers off the web as they are more up to date. assuming you have no internet access on that build, i reccomend downloading the drivers on a different computer and transferring the files over with a flash drive

the 7850k has a igpu similar to a DDR3 version of a 7750(technically, exact specifications). the 32nm process on the older 5800k has a igpu closer to a 6670. if you want performance to $, the money saved on the 5800k could potentially go to a seperate discrete gpu which overall should be cheaper...

your psu is more than enough, if a game started to get laggy and slow, then there must be a different problem elsewhere

ntoskrnl is a essential windows memory management and other vital funtions of the computer. it can be caused by many bad drivers or hardware instability

hydravision comes as a seperate download on the AMD download page for drivers. generally under the main driver section under optional downloads

its closer to what the wii u pro controller is like, the touchpads on the upper side, and the D-Pad/Buttons bellow
