With the PSU, you could take a look at EVGA's new G2 lineup- they offer gold rating at 650w for around $90.

It was always broken.

This is somewhat tough, firstly because the 1st case is Russian, which makes it hard to find solid specs on, but from what I can tell, here are the pros and cons, and my take on the two: 1st case Pros: It's mATX, but has just as many fan mounts as the other, so it should be just as efficient at...

If the case can support a radiator for water cooling, and longer graphics cards, then the Fury X just makes more sense...... The Nano is a cool and interesting product, but it's still not very practical for anything other than the absolutely smallest system possible, and for the power-efficiency.

Yea that is a bit odd- I think that Zotac modified the gm 206 somehow, or are using some variant (possible pre/proto 960ti? -just speculation) to provide better interfacing for the additional ram.

Unless if it's a typo, I'm very happy to see a 3GB 960! For the 1080p performance point, 2GB isn't going to be enough for much longer, but 4GB is too much- Both AMD an NVIDIA messed up with the 960/380 by not making them 3GB cards like the 280/280X. Hopefully there will be an aftermarket...

Also, you can get a 1TB WD drive for only $50 (outlet PC) Might as well chip in the $7 and double your storage. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd10ezex

I'm not too familiar with CPU Z, but it's probably showing the current frequencies of your ram, rather than the maximum, which is what you must match. Try using speccy, it'll tell you the rating of your ram's frequency.

You could get a lower-class motherboard, but apart from that, you could get a 2.5" SSD for much cheaper than the M-2 type, but I don't know how pricing works in your country. The main issue is your GPU. The 960 is great for 1080p, but not at all for 1440p. If you want a good 1440p card, take a...

I'm looking to get a better cpu cooler to replace my stock Intel one- I recently checked by temps while gaming, and they're higher than I originally thought. I've been looking and hearing about the CM Hyper 212 EVO, but also on Newegg I've found others in that series that look and seem to...

Thanks!

I'm looking for an SSD that's around 120GB, mainly for my OS, docs/pics files, and a few games in which an SSD would make a difference, and I understand that there's a wide difference between a good and a bad SSD, but that is also directly related to pricing. I'm not very knowledgeable on SSDs...

Additionally, the Gigabyte has 3 fan headers, while ASRock has 2, if that matters. Weird thing though: the ASRock apparently has 2 cpu headers, one 3 pin and one 4-pin- I guess you could use the extra one for a case fan or something?
