Don't worry about reverse. If you are on a hill use the brakes to hold the car, don't sit there at the red light with the clutch half way out to hold the car. The other thing is don't downshift and ease the clutch out to slow the car down, just use the brakes they are way easier and cheaper to...

What is your budget? If you're planning on using 2 or less video cards then the 4770k is more cost effective.

Definatly the 780, 4670k and 8GB. What about 760SLI, 4670k and 8/16Gb of ram?

SLI has come a long way from where it started, I personally built my current gaming computer with a single GTX 580 when it first came out and a year later added a second 580. I was surprised how easy it was to setup and immediately saw a huge fps gain (pretty much double) in games. Obviously...

With a $200 budget you are probably better of keeping what you have and save some more money or you won't see much improvement.

Sounds like a hard drive failure, the operating system faults are a result of the failed drive. The page file is also on the hard drive so that is another indicator. Make sure you back up your files as soon as possible, your hard drive could completely fail at any time.

Here are some benchmarks. I know you guys don't like SLI, which is fine. I really started believing in SLI when I got a pair of GTX 580s which still play everything on ultra and I've had no issues with the setup. These are not the days of the 6800 ultra anymore with tons of compatibility...

What is your resolution?

Well a 770 is basically a 680 with faster ram on it, so if I were you I would buy one, if it isn't fast enough save up another $400 and get another one and you have something faster than a 690 for $200 less. If it still isn't fast enough you can get a 3rd one and it would still be cheaper than...

What video card do you have now?

Yes it would involve removing your internal wireless adapter, at which point you would have to get an external usb adapter to use wifi. Yes this is inside your laptop directly attached to your motherboard.

The 780 is probably at best 25% faster than that 770. If you're seriously considering spending $650 on a video card, 770 SLI is only $150 away. What resolution are you running at?

Since you don't have a PCMCIA slot or a thunderbolt port, you are kind of out of luck. The only other way you can do this is by disconnecting your wireless adapter and using that pci express x1 slot. The problem is since it is only a x1 slot the bandwidth is vary limited and you probably won't...

Do you have an SSD?

The GTX 780 will compliment your processor better, the GTX 770 will complement your wallet better...
