yeah i know, i use the computer for other processor intensive stuff as well...so i can make plenty of good use of the hyper threading

actually, i kept origin on my hdd, and i created two folders (one on ssd, other on hdd) to download games to. easiest way to manage them.

I want to put battlefield 3 on my ssd, do i need to download origin to my ssd as well to play the game? or can i keep origin on my hdd and play battlefield 3 from my ssd?

sorry, meant to say speedfan lol, and turn off the automatic fan controls in your bios. here's a guide if you need it http://onsoftware.en.softonic.com/how-to-use-speedfan

ok if you're using fanspeed, you need to go into your bios and disable the automatic controls, sounds like fanspeed and your bios are conflicting, this should solve the issue

did you try booting to the bios and checking your temps?

run it on a blend mode, that'll pretty much test everything, after 15 minutes (or less if you heat up too fast) and you don't have any errors, your system is most likely stable, i run these tests over night to see if there will be any errors.

the worst that'll happen is that you'll be in a game, and your comp may crash, in that case just upgrade the psu (which i would do anyways lol)

i have to ask, if you're wanting graphic performance for gaming, why'd you buy a dell? (not trying to be rude, just curious) in all honesty, after researching the 7750 i found its a 75 watt (max load) card, and is pretty efficient, check your watts, and if you got some head room, then the 7750...

correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't that depend on how well his psu puts out under a load? which given a dell, its probably pretty sub par

if you can find this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102612 somewhere....i saw itt on amazon used for $85 i'd recommend just upgrading your psu, and getting the better card

if you want to get into the bigger cards, you need to upgrade your psu, they draw too much watts for small psu's....nvidia cards are a little better when it comes to consuming watts....but amd's are a little cheaper (price wise not performance)

it does http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161403&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Video+Cards-_-Hightech+Information+System+Ltd.-_-14161403

in the details it says a minimum of a 400watt psu, your current rig has a 300 watt, i'd stick with the 5670
