What kind of a GTX 760 do you have; manufacturer and the specific model? This is important as different card manufacturers can use custom PCBs which might not be compatible with all waterblocks out there...

Your motherboard regrettably has no SLI support so I would get a new case, some cooling and get a decent overclock on that CPU. What kind of a budget are you working with here?

Prime95 small FFTs for torture testing, HWmonitor or similar for temps, CPU-Z for specs and windows task manager for core by core performance monitoring. Any overclocking guide should have all this covered.

Overclocking a 2500K on Z68 isn't that difficult unless you're taking it to the extreme. Find a decent guide online and just try your luck at it. At those multipliers, I'd reckon your voltage should be around the 1.3V mark give or take. Remember to stability test your overclocks afterwards and...

They should work no problem. You could get better memory though for the price.

Core i7 3770 doesn't overclock pretty much at all, so a slightly more expensive K version would've held higher value in my opinion. It's technically pretty much impossible to get a decent enough OC on Z77 by FSB alone without risking stability. If you're stuck with the 3770, it doesn't really...

Get the 760 normal edition. Manually adjust temperature target through EVGA Precision X software and you get overclocks for free.

PC games usually tends to have wider field of view. I can't remember if Battlefield 3 has FOV slider somewhere in the options but I know it can be configured if not from the menus, then at least from the config files. Here's a video comparing the different FOV options...

Hard to say for certain but I doubt it. I think it's just the update tool that requires Asus motherboard to function. It's still possible to update your VGA BIOS without that tool, it just takes some know-how is all. I don't recommend meddling with it unless you know what you're doing. Get...

Go to http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD77702GD5/#support_Download_30 Go under Support tab and select your OS. Asus has a VGA BIOS update tool, use that. Not sure how automated it will be. If you don't know what you are doing, follow the instructions from Asus to the tee. If unsure, contact...

You can connect it with a normal HDMI cable. That monitor has no built-in speakers though, so you will have to route the audio in some other way. You can use an XBOX 360 headset or similar compatible device or you can use analog to connect the 2 stereo cables into pretty much any standard PC...

If the specs say that the max supported VGA length is 290mm then 295mm will not fit. 295mm > 290mm

From what I've heard, there are BIOS related issues with this card. Please upgrade your VGA BIOS.

Yes of course. Probably on high settings with FXAA.

It works no problem. I recommend GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB, but HD 7850 is a good card too. I would still get the 2GB version personally.
