    Using one TV instead of two computer monitors

    Is there a special reason you need to have a split screen on the HD tv? If you have Windows 8 you could just drag each program to the side you want it to and it will snap in place, so you would essentially have a 2 monitor set up with one HD signal. I do not know of any TV that will accept...

    Need Advice on Radeon R9 290 (290X) vs. GTX 770 (780)

    It depends on the retailer. If they offer a full warranty or a good return policy i would say go for it. I picked up 2 returned 290x's for around $380 each so i saved around $300 doing it. One suggestion is if you normally shop through amazon look at their warehouse deals on the GPU. That is...

    Motherboard and Case compatibility issue.

    It is not really a compatibility issue as your motherboard has support for a 2.0 USB as well. But yes if you upgrade your case to a USB 3.0 then you will be able to use the 3.0 header on your board. Unless you require USB 3.0 on the front of your PC it really doesn't matter.
