    High memory usage issue, and task manager fails to display the cause.

    Task manager says my PC uses 95-100% of its memory, with the process using the most called "system" at only 200MB out of 8GB, if I set it to display how much it's using in percentages, it says 40-60%. I'm running Windows 10 Home 64bit, on a 4770k with an MSI MPower Max Z87 Board and 8GB out of...

    is there a difference between gigabyte and EVGA cards?

    The EVGA one seems to be a little bit faster out of the box, but you can overclock the gigabyte one to match it, from my experience, the ACX 1.0 cooler is very quiet, my H80i is much louder than 2 GTX 780 cards with ACX 1.0 cooling, I haven't had a chance to hear a WindForce cooler, but I heard...

    Good Graphics Cards

    Minecraft is a very CPU intensive game, so it depends on your CPU, also, most monitors can't display over 60fps, some go to 120hz-144hz, and if I recall correctly there are a few that get to 240, but no monitor is currently available for consumers that has a refresh rate of over 240hz.

    Will i need a better power supply

    Depends on the unit, if it's a good one it should be enough, also, if I recall correctly you need a Z97 (not Z87) board for a 4690k.

    Are these gaming PC parts compatible?

    These are all compatible, PCPartPicker has a built in filter that makes you unable to select incompatible parts unless you deactivate it.

    I have 2 Identical storage drives (250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSDs) and I'm looking for a way to use them as a single OS drive

    My problem, is that the Samsung software won't recognize them as 840 EVO drives if they're in a RAID setup, and I want to use some of their software's features, so I need a way for the OS to recognize them as 2 paired drives instead of a single drive.

    Inexperienced builder with a lot of questions.

    Use PCPartPicker.com for compatibility, for now: -Motherboard and CPU incompatible, if you want the same CPU you'd want a Z77 chipset board with the LGA-1155 socket, get a cheaper Z97 board for an ix 4xx0k/even cheaper Z87 board for an ix 4x70k -RAM horribly expensive, there is barely any...

    GPUs Overclocking is possible?

    It's possible, you can use a utility like MSI Afterburner to overclock, I'm not sure all GPUs support it

    *PLEASE HELP!* overclocking g3258 with asrock z97m anniversary

    1. Yes 2. Depends on the game, 60fps on medium in BF4 probably 3. No 4. Get a more reliable PSU (anything tier 1-3 from here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html)

    Is this a working build?

    If you're only using a single GTX 980 (which is rumored to be more power efficient than the 780) a 600W PSU would surely be enough
