Who cares you need to stop slacking off and get back to work (This is a troll from your boss)

it's always good to have a bit of head room on your psu. i always go for a psu that higher rated than what my pc needs. the psu will then be able to handle power spikes and future upgrades better. so a 550w or 600w psu would be my choice.

the one with the better cooler as you can then use GPU Boost to get better performance :) As to which has the better cooler ? i would guess that would be the gigabyte card. But if noise levels are a problem then the MSI is a nice quite card :)

i tried running my system (CPU and graphics card) under full load and only managed to draw 385 watts from the wall socket. and as for 450 Watts being enough to run a factory or bur down a house. maybe your father mistook watts for Amps ? oh and if it helps i believe 450w would be about 2 amps...

GTX 650 Ti just because it has 2GB GDDR :) newer games are using my memory so to me that would be the better choice :)

the motherboards VRM heatsinks are just under 30mm at there highest points. from left to right (between the VRM heatsink and first memory dimm slot you have 100mm of space. from the top VRM heatsink and the first PCI-E your got about 125mm of space. (u could not get my rule is to measure...

its got the same spacing as all intel skt 1155/1150 HSF's. the the motherboard VRM Heatsinks are low profile. so pretty much all HSF's will clear them. but if you like i can try and get some measurements later tonight for you :)

Nice build :) the default slot arrangement for the Gene VI is and 2nd & 4th slot. and there is plenty off room around the cpu for most hsf's you should be ok with either of the HSF's you have picked :)

i7 is the better CPU but for gaming you will notice no difference between the i7 and i5. if your taking about best bag for your buck then the i5 is your best choice :)

Z77 chipset is Skt 1155 so best cpu would be something like an Intel i7-3770k they are about £255 atm if your going for haswell (Skt 1150) then an Intel i7-4770k for about £245 would be best choice. (price from Ebuyer.com) as for motherboards its comes down to what connectivity you need ...

yes you can run the game :) try checking out this site http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri it a very handy site for game requirements but does require Java to run requirement checks :)

it's yellow :) might not be any better than the cooler your using now. you could get always get a tower cooler and replace the fans with colourful ones or look at something like this...

Corsair 750D or NZXT 630 are also nice big cases for about the same money :)

i have seen a lot of this over the last 2 weeks. 90% off the time you can fix it by doing a systems restore back 7 days or so in windows repair. you can access windows repair by pressing F8 as your pc boots or from the windows 7 install dvd

PC all the way :) haven't touched my ps3 in 5 years, infact it's still round my bro's. if you don't mind building or setting up/customising your computer then you can not beat a pc. games are cheaper on pc too and look and run better too :) if you lazy or want console exclusives then get a ps...
