    Hyperx Headset makes a loud static sound when i move my head or mic,

    Could you specify the exact headset? Because if it has microphone looping, that might be the problem. That would make sense why it only makes the noise when you move your head or the microphone.

    Overclocking = Temporary file loss apparently?

    Ok, so basically I've been having this problem where when I overclock past 4 GHz, when windows boots I get a "missing C:/windows/win32 x.exe/dll/whatever" but when I lower my clock back below 4, it boots fine. Literally no changes but decreasing the clock and windows can find all of the files...

    When CPU heat rises quickly, fan doesn't speed up at the same rate.

    HDMI cord from graphics card to monitor does not have sound

    Can you provide the model and brand of the 780? Like EVGA, ASUS, MSI, etc? The 780 is relatively new and the reference design (idk why a manufacturer would remove a feature) most likely supports it.

    Is this graphics card good enough??!!!

    That thing should perform exceptionally well at 1080p, and pretty nice at 1440p. As far as recording goes, it depends on the codec (for example, h254 (or something like that) relies on CPU).

    New to pc gaming and building a $400 pc,i need suggestions

    Edit: I forgot to mention, you should be able to run most games at 1080p on the highest settings, with no problem on this. Also, 2 of these go over the your budget by 20 bucks. I personally think that the extra performance is worth it, but you can always downgrade the ram to 6 or even 4 if you...

    No option to update to 10 on recently installed windows.

    My hard drive recently failed, and I got an SSD. The problem is, when I reinstalled windows a few days ago, there was no option to update to 10 like windows on my hard drive.
