This helped me overclock my g3258: http://www.overclock.net/t/1411077/haswell-overclocking-guide-with-statistics Give this a good read as it has pretty much all the information that you'd need and then some. Not sure why you'd want to undervolt your CPU @ 1v but you SHOULD be able to get 4.0GHz...

For the GPU: 80C is in the upper range. I would panic if it hit 90+ but at 97% load 80 is not horrible but you should make some changes to drop it lower. Check your case airflow and make sure you keep the inside nice and cool. Fan: Most fans will run at max speed and ones with 3pin connectors...

Sapphire has a better rep. than powercolor but honestly I think both are fine for a 250x. Pick whichever is giving the most specs for the price.

Either is fine, they are both pretty close. Most people would say that the 280x is slightly better. I would go for whatever you can get the best deal on. Whichever one you pick the 600w should be fine :)

I have an HD 7770 that I bought second-hand and it will not display on my brother's computer. Fan spins up but no display. His computer is a stock hp a6300f besides a 500w psu, windows 8.1 and the 7770. Motherboard is a MCP73M01H1(napa). GPU is being connected to the computer by a single molex...

To be honest I think you already know all the facts, theres not much we could tell you. However if it was me theres no way the wife would be okay with a 650+ charge LOL. Also having 2 GPUs is normal here but it does give you some bragging rights :P I think 970s are one of the only few cards that...

PCIE 6-pin looks like this. You'll need two of 'em. If your mobo has a PCIE 3.0 slot then you should be just fine running the 270x in your computer (Make sure it fits!). However not all Power supplies are created equal. If you don't know the name of your PSU and it doesn't even have PCIE 6/8...

IMO AMD\NVIDIA is really a personal choice, unless you have a specific game you always play that has better drivers on one side or the other. At the $200 range I would go with a R9 380\GTX 960 and just pick up whatever you can find on sale for less :)

Lol with that i7 you won't bottleneck a 750 on cs:go I guarantee it. The 750 is an ok card. 750ti is better, 260x would be a better recommendation if power is not an issue. If you wanted to you could even put a mid-high end card in that system and it would be ok :) If you are just playing...

Oh man. I don't think I'd put anything into that cheap-o PSU (no offense!) Let alone overclock with it. The PSU powers everything in your system not just the GPU. The 970 has a minimum of a 500W PSU so it should run fine... but for how long? lol :)
