the gtx 970 do well in 1080p 144hz, i think it's counterpart (the R9 390) should do well too as it benefits from higher memory capacity and higher texture rate

i confirm that the 1440p and 144hz in the 27 inch would be the best option for me too, as far as price go, then the 24in 1080p but 144hz will be my choice for gaming and the 27in 1440p 60hz for everything else.

personnaly, i recalibrated my monitor every 2-3 months as color tends to change a little and i want the best possible and accurate picture quality possible to edit video and photo... just buy something like a datacolor spyder for about 120$ and you'll be absolutely satisfied for the rest of...

You have some powerfull rig in your hand and i understand that you could be able to play everything at maxed out settind or almost that !!! What drivers do you use (as the 780ti is somewhat new and maybe drivers aren't that good for now) and also, did you tried to customize your drivers...

If you're not overclocking and don't project to do it (even in 2-3 years) then the 4570 would be a better choice for a better performance (2-3% faster at stock speed) but the 3570k would be a better option for future if you want to overclock later on the run as a 3570k at 4ghz will destroy...

at this price, a 280x or a GTX770 will be the best choice (considering that you can find some rebate as they're both at 270-280£ and about 400 USD) I don't know if you have any preference and/or Physx games enabled but generally speaking, the 770 is a tad faster (not even by 5%) but is also...

try to reinstall and make sure to have the non beta version of the official website (http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm) V2.3.1 as of today as all their bata have an expiration date so unless you want to update frequently the program, grab the stable version...

You can use MSI afterburner (based on rivatuner) and make your overclock start at login time (it's what i'm using for a long time now) You also have more option with it like setting up a custom fan curve and voltage adjustement...

it's clearly a lot more than 30w but i think it's reasonnable at about 70w to 120w at the wall (using a kill-a watt to measure) depending on how much HDDs are active and load on the NAS...

i would go for the 4670k as even at stock speed it's as fast as the 8350 but it can still be overclocked and then, it becomes a real beast, clock for clock the I5 is faster so even at 5ghz, the 8350 can't beat a mild overclocked 4670k (4.2-4.4ghz) the only scenario that will make the AMD win is...

obviously the rig is powerfull but it lack a dedicated graphic card so unless you want to spend a little more on that part, it's pretty much all it can do, the integrated graphic is rather "shitty" comparing to even low-end 100$ graphic card... i would change the 4770 to a 4670 (non-k unless...

yeah, you'll need another SATA cable (don't worry they're universal so just pick one at your local retailer or online on your prefered e-tailler) That sucks a little but all motherboard manufacturer do that and they all know that they've got plenty of SATA ports on their mobo, i've got 2 when i...

Yeah, Bitlocker have a backdoor include within itself so it's really easy to crack for someone that knows that backdoor (and it's relativly easy to find how if it's not the case) I wouldn't return the HDD if you can't wipe it totally and have sensible data on it...
