I'm confused by this line:
 

Sorry, forgot to mention there is 4 sticks .

oh ok, that makes it much better

PCI slots are backwards compatible meaning the slot should just run at 2.0 speeds and its unlikely it will not limit a 960.
 
and only 2GB of RAM? Thats going to be an issue.

it sounds like your support is pushing your heatsink in a way that makes it not contact the GPU die correctly
 
not sure if this is a common issue or a defective card, but just dont touch the heatsink so you get the lower temp, and that should be correct

It should boot up fine...

Nothing should happen. CPUs don't have drivers so your Windows installation will be fine. The only thing that will happen is increased performance

if the mobo would've not supported the 960, it would've not posted
my guess is the issue is somewhere else entirely; have you tried with a different PSU, preferably a newer one

So last year @Oshino Shinobu created a Santa's Workshop thread for people to submit their avatars for a Christmassy makeover, and since I enjoyed helping out with some of those avatars last year I thought I would create a thread for this year.
 
Hopefully, once again we will have a large proportion of the Forum with an Xmas Avatar
 
*edit* I can do GIFs but they will take a long time, especially where the head moves and/or there is lots of frames
 
How to request a Santa hat : - Post the image that you want to be used, preferably a decent sized good quality version. - If you have any special requests or want something other than a Santa hat, please include it in your post.  - Once you have received your Santa hat, please edit your post and mark as DONE/COMPLETE or some    If you have time to spare and want to help out, that would be awesome. 

recommended PSU is 400w on the 960 so it seems strange that it even has a 8pin. for comparison the 6770 recommended 450w,

I love all of u

Is the display plugged into the Graphics card outputs? (not motherboard ones)

Yes, you can use it like a regular monitor. The only difference is you won't be able to enable G-SYNC mode, that's all.

It might also just be the mouse's falt. Have you downloaded the drivers for the mouse?

I had a similar experience with turtle beach. Now I have to crappy headsets.

Yes.

Short interesting, informative, and/or funny videos.

Try unplugging the 780 and use the intel integrated graphics.
