If it becomes self aware we'll call it 'Regretti'.

Hmm good roundup, could have used this a month ago when I was shopping for paste. Based on other roundups and pricing/availibility in my country, I went with Coolermaster MasterGel Maker NANO and it still looks like a good choice here.

I think it would still be cheaper to build two machines for that perpose, than one with that CPU xD.

If 10 cores is already this toasty, is adding another 8 even going to be feesable without soldering the IHS?

As the 9800GT only has 112 shader cores compared to the 2816 on the 980ti, it would barely make a difference if you could use it along side for anything. An AMD 7950 would be much better for rendering but getting 2 cards from 2 different manufactures to play nice in the same software is not...

Yes, your Windows 10 license is tied to your hardware, and swapping it out can invalidate it (OEM copies that is, I think full retail licences are fine). It is major hardware upgrades that trigger it, like a new motherboard or in your case a whole new system. You might be able to ring Microsoft...

Even if your the GPU is bottle necked by the CPU it would not cause that crashes, it would just not run at its full potential. Your problems sounds a lot like a power issue with the card. Your power supply could be overloaded. Make sure all external power connectors are hooked up correctly...

More video memory is not going to net you any extra performance. What it will do is allow the card to store more textures on the faster memory and possibly remove some pop in of the textures and stutter of new area loads in some games. The 750ti is not a fast enough card to utilize 4GB properly...

3/3 Razer products defective for me. Razer Copperhead-clicker died after only 1 1/2 yrs. Razer Lachesis- Defective tracking engine that cause the cursor to go crazy on the screen unlit a re-plug. Razer Lycosa- Keys would randomly get stuck (not physically) and then stop working taking a few...

Processors supported by your board are found here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/HelpDesk_CPU/ It looks like it is not supported, this post explains a possible reason: https://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?board_id=1&model=M2N68-AM+PLUS&id=20100805231149156&page=1&SLanguage=en-us

Easily. Remember it will be on consoles and they are about mid range PCs. With the 380 you should be able to play on high.

Almost double the performance at similar power draw according to the Toms charts: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2015-vga-charts/compare,3664.html?prod%5B7378%5D=on&prod%5B7254%5D=on

Yes easy and much faster than a DVD. 1. Get an image of windows 8.1. 2. Use https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool on a blank usb. 3. Plug the usb in and go into bios. Set the usb as the first boot device 4. Boot from the USB and install windows as normal, only...

I would spend a little more and go with the 500w Bronze units. The AMD 8 cores are power hungry and it will give you a bit more head room and flexibility for future part swaps. Also you want nice clean stable power, so your system will last longer.
