Okay thanks everyone, I appreciate the confirmation.

Every heatsink / fan I've ever purchased had a flat mounting surface for the CPU, I'm pretty sure that the Hyper 212 EVO I ordered isn't supposed to look like this but can someone confirm that I need to return this?

I have an ASRock Z77 Extreme6 MOBO. I recently upgraded to Windows 8 and I went to ASRock's website to install the drivers and I'm not sure which ones I need and which ones I don't need. I would prefer to not install drivers that won't benefit me in some way so I would appreciate some help as to...

That's what I figured but I receive so many "sale" newsletters from newegg and amazon that I didn't know if the holiday sales were actually any better than let's say the labor day weekend sales that happened a couple weeks ago.

I got the sapphire 7950 and the seasonic 650 x since it was on sale too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102989 Everything is purchased, now I just have to wait until it arrives and start assembling it =)

Is this standard sapphire 7950 worth looking into? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102989 It's on sale and there is a $20 rebate which brings it to $308.87 with shipping, about $40 more expensive than the 7870's I was looking at.

I have a quick question about multiple monitors. With the 7870 I can only use 2 monitors? I'm not sure I understand the minidisplay ports on high end graphics cards. If there are 4 connections why can't you use 4 monitors? What about using the CPU's onboard graphics? Can I use the onboard...

So in regards to teh Rosewill capstone series... the only reason to get the 750m over the 650m is in case I crossfire gpu's at a later date?

Is there a way to see Total Continuous Amperage? I don't care too much about the red lights if the other PSU's are better. Noise is more of a concern for me than led lights. I just read that the XFX was fairly loud and did not use silent fans while the Rosewill and OCZ PSU's did

Reading about the XFX PSU a lot of people are saying it is very loud compared to silent fan type PSU's. What about this PSU? It has a red light which I think would look nice in my red case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341041
