I want to replace my gpu which normally isn't a big problem, until I looked at mine. I've just realised the gpu covers the release leaver one side and part of it the other but I can see the top leaver (double leaver type) Only problem is the cpu cooler sticks out and leaves a very narrow space...

Well, I went from a core 2 quad rendering pc to building an x99 6 core with 16gb ram intel 5820k and its really fast for me and thats just on stock settings.

OK thanks for that....in the end I decided on fitting a second HDD with Win 7 and using my original as storage.

I've bought a new WD 1TB HDD..I want to clone my Vista OS to it...however this is an OEM version(came preinstalled). I've heard that cloning will not work due to the original HDD being tatooed to the system so the original key won't work with a new drive as it will know its a different HDD...
