Overclocking anything?

I'm looking to get a new 1080p 144hz monitor, but I can't decide between 24 or 27 inches. Would there be any noticeable decrease in quality between the two? I don't know very much about monitors, but wouldn't the larger one have slightly worse picture quality since it is the same amount of...

@MarkW Haha okay well maybe two of those monitors would have to wait. Aside from my (possibly unwarranted?) concern over the vram, I'm also looking way down the line if/when I want to upgrade. If I get the 970 SLI setup, I'd only be downgrading if I got anything less than a Titan X, right? Or...

So I have a single 970 right now, and I've never had an issue with it. I haven't even reached 3gb VRAM even while playing Witcher 3 maxed out. However thats only playing at 1080p. I want to go dual monitors, 1440p @ 144hz. So I initially wanted to go with SLI 970s.. but would I run into the vram...

So this is a problem that I only get with League of Legends, no other game. I have an MSI GTX 970 and a 60Hz monitor. When I play League with vsync on, or if I disable vsync and simply cap my fps at 144, I can play perfectly fine with no fps lag or screen tearing. Everything is good. However if...

No

I have a 4690k and a Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 mobo. Should I disable the C3, C6/7 and C1E settings when overclocking? I've heard it both ways and I can't find any good guides. should i disable them?

What about these fire strike results? http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6954345? Max temp was 73c @50% fan speed, is that too high for that test?

So I am wondering if these benchmarks and temperatures are where they should be. http://puu.sh/hMjDU/c635584ecb.png Max temp I hit was 66c with fans @ 50%

I ran Memtest86+ for about 6 hours and got a single error with 8GB RAM (2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz). So I took one stick of RAM out and ran the test for about 8 hours. No errors. I popped the other one in, ran for about the same time, no errors again. Then I put both in, ran it again for...

I'm using an MSI GTX 970, these are some scores and temps I am getting for a few benchmarks. Are they around where they should be? Heaven 4.0: 1561, max temp 64c 3DMark Firestrike: 10270, max temp 70c Furmark 1080p: 4645, 63c

Sorry if this is a dumb question, its been forever since I last built a PC and I'm not really sure about this. So I just bought a hard drive that comes with no cables. I know my motherboard came with four SATA 3 cables, but what about the power cable for the hard drive? Would that be on the PSU...
