    Using 4 sticks can decrease performance?

    You won't really notice any performance decrease if you have 4 sticks. It'll make it a bit more challenging if you plan to overclock since more sticks equal more power consumption. I'd personally get 1 8gb stick now and upgrade later. The performance gain from dual channel isn't worth it to...

    980Ti 500W PSU?

    If you look at benchmarks for the gtx 980 ti it usually I think around like 250w at load or something similar. So technically yes it should work(i think the evga 500w bronze is good enough to work) but it won't leave you with much room. You probably won't be able to overclock anything by much...

    Is My Graphics Card Dying? (Weird Graphical Glitches)

    It looks like your gpu may be going bad. Try lowering the clock rate on the gpu and see if that fixes it. If it does then it's definitely your gpu. If it's not overheating then there's not much you can do about it.

    Could someone please explain fan connectors?

    Oh... thats' odd. Well is it making the sounds when you have all the fans set to full speed or only when you start to lower the fan speeds? Also does it make the noise if you have no fans connected to it?

    Do the fans make the noise when you have the controller set to full speed?

    Could someone please explain fan connectors?

    What kind of fans do you have. The fans might have issues running at a lower voltage.

    Look at this link: http://www.overclock.net/t/1415440/fans-buzzing-on-nzxt-sentry-mix-fan-controller Apparently that controller has a voltage issue with some fans causing them to make noises when you adjust the speed of them.

    Could someone please explain fan connectors?

    You only need the first two pins with that controller. The 3rd pin is used for rpm reading. The 4th pin is used for pwm. You dont need either of those with that controller.
