    FPS drop after 10 mins of gaming

    Your CPU Temp is nearing the max 'safe' temp, your PC will be thermal throttling as it cannot keep cool enough, Undervolting likely won't do much other than make your system unstable, Is this something which has just started happening recently?

    My c drive is running low on how do i get more?

    You would have to re partition your drive, which as far as I'm aware requires also a reformat of the drive.

    Just finished building my PC but it keeps saying Restart and Select Proper boot device

    Have you tried spamming delete/f2 on startup to enter the bios? From there you should be able to go into boot device order and select your desired boot device as first boot option, which I gather will be your Cd drive. Also you should double check that your Sata power and data cables are...

    CX500 PSU for OCing a 4690K?

    Most people seem to talk crap about the CX PSU's, but my cx500m is either some golden sample or people talk nonsense. My 6600k is running at 4.5ghz currently, and is completely stable, I've run Aida 64 and cinebench cpu test back to back for about an hour and had no crashing

    Did the whole 970 memory debacle and EVGA 970 cooler issue get cleared up?

    Well, the memory issue is never going to change, it's hardware, so unless they released a 970 r2 or something it'll never change. I was in the same position as you up until the 390 got released, Which in my opinion is a much better choice. You get for the same price, 8gb of VRAM, and generally...

    Asus strix 980ti factory overclock running at 400 mhz

    Well the first step is to find a good benchmark for Battlefield with your hardware, and compare your data with the benchmark, if you get the same results (within a +/- 10 or so fps margin of error) then you should be golden.
