First, a little about overclocking - it's basically running your CPU above the "stock" (default) settings. The K written at the end of Intel CPUs means that the CPU is unlocked, which means you have the possibility of changing these settings if you so desire, but not that you absolutely have to...

It depends on your definition of overkill. He said he wants to run, record and stream games. That means he also needs to edit video. That is indeed a good build. Having that in mind though, how about something like this? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core...

In my opinion, what you should get is this - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZxkX7P Going in order (only the changes): - good i5 for overclocking - you already have water cooling - much better, faster and more reliable storage - a GTX 980 that is a much better choice (if you need a reason here you go...

It's a good thing you know about the problem then. I wasn't aware of ASRocks having this problem. I generally go with Asus anyway. Speaking of Asus, another board that would meet your criteria, but is a little more expensive would be the ASUS Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac)/USB 3.1, keeping your need for WiFi...

Thanks for the prompt replies. I have already installed the latest driver, so I don't think I can do anything else there. I guess I'll keep using the VGA cable for now as it appears to not have any problems or degradation in image quality, until I get around to buying a DVI-to-DVI cable or...

No, I haven't. At the moment my cable options are quite limited - VGA or HDMI-DVI and I was hoping to try a few more things before going out and buying a bunch of cables. Do you think it could be the HDMI connector or the cable itself somehow having a problem even though it works with a laptop?

Hey guys, I recently decided to plug in my HDMI-DVI cable to replace the VGA cable I was using previously. The problem however, is that when I plug it in (pc-HDMI, monitor-DVI), I get pretty bad artifacting - green dots/lines on black and pink angly lines on white (example below). Before...
