Doubtful as you only see some "spikes" but I like to get users aware of the Win 10/AHCI setting/driver issue anyway. I am not aware that any update fixed this. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3083595/task-manager-might-show-100-disk-utilization-on-windows-10-devices-wit

and on a side note, what are people running (game-wise) that they want to blow money on dual 670's 680's etc? lol

agreed. XfX has good psu's. That one will do fine.

are you sure you are CLEAN of any virus/malware? I have had these hide files on clients' pc's before. were all of your files in one folder? not sure where the "folder is empty" error came from :)

these are decent for the price ~$120-130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284 Should give a bit of performance boost compared to what you have now. With all the flooding and damage in Thailand prices went thru the roof with all the damage. They could no longer keep up...

Personally i would not even touch a "6" series card. If your budget is $150, go with a single HD6790. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150564 Performance-wise, since you asked: especially at a higher res, that single 6790 will beat the daylights out of a crossfired 5670...

the 5770 is surely enough for mid settings. I can run very high and ultra settings on some newer games etc with mine. Then you can put the extra money into 8GB ram, or a 64bit Windows 7. There are many variables though, and everyone will have a different opinion. Monitor: i go with either Acer...

personally i would just get: Q9650 cpu another 4GB ram, and RAID 0 your hard drive setup ..as from what you said you don't have your second PCIe-x16 free? otherwise you could sli 2 cards if you wanted :) But another question would be, What do you want to achieve with your system?
