From the looks of it will be able to be installed, but your going to have to make sure you have enough clearance on your motherboard. P.S: In response to your post title, That's what she said.

Dont care, I got a PC. Besides It was the PC gamers that pretty much got this shit fixed, while console gamers sat on their asses playing cod.

Sorry for that, I was a Math major In University. xD

Interesting, I am definitely intrigued by the clear plexi one, was not a fan of the whole foggy style they used previously.

No problem, we are just here to help! :] Those two sentences just contradicted themselves, are you trying to reinvent Russell's paradox? On a more serious note, if you are doing editing you will want to overclock your CPU. To what degree? that is entirely up to you, however when you are overclocking and need help just let me know I can guide you through it, as I am very familiar with the motherboard you own.

If you strictly gaming, you wont see any or very little performance increase in terms of FPS with the setup you have currently. If you would like to overclock, your board is very good at doing so. I would recommend improving your cooling solution if you would like to overclock past 4.0GHz, even with the stock heatsink you can get around 3.8-3.9 without going past 80. Also, take note, you never want to go near TJ Max on a CPU, thats were degrading of the CPU will occur. If you would like help with voltages,memory clocks, and frequencies, just post it in forum and someone will guide you through it.

Personally, I haven't had issues with Steam on Windows 8.

Just get Windows 8. You can install Classic Shell or Start Is Back and get the same functionality as Windows 7, But it will be supported longer and also be improved on more frequently. You will also get alot more features from Windows 8, including a performance increase in certain games. Typically in games, there is similar or greater performance from windows 7 to 8.

Honestly, the degrading you would get from overclocking it wouldn't even be noticed. If you intend on upgrading it 5-6 years after overclocking the degrading wouldn't even have taken place at that point. Besides, you probably wouldn't want to upgrade your CPU, even from Sandybridge, Haswell has not been a upgrade.

If you need help overclocking we can help! (depending on your cooling solution) Also, you probably wont need to upgrade at least until we see a real change to how games are being built, as apposed to being a console port. P.S : I got 2 780s because I can :]

What are the current specs of your rig right now?

What are you running right now?

The 780 does have more horsepower than a 680, Its cut down GK110 vs GK104. Personally, I dont think you will be able to re-coupe 400 pounds for a 4GB 680, considering there are 4B 770 that outperform it and cost less or around the same. Also, There is no way to "future proof" a system. Because, who knows that the future holds? DUN DUN DUN!

Those settings are completely up to how you feel when using your mouse, so there is no way to do it wrong. Personally I use the Corsair M65 and set it to 8200 DPI(I actually use it at that DPI everyday).

Linus no longer works for NCIX, however he does do videos for the NCIXcom channel on youtube.

Depends, Are you satisfied with what that GPU is giving you right now? If not, How much can you re-coupe from selling it and put in towards a 780.

you can price match from amazon to NCIX! :0 As long as both sites are from the same country.

It was a joke, calm down.

I would rent 4 titans for 5 minutes, just so I can tell the world I had them.

downloading games is based off the bandwidth you have from your ISP plan. I would recommend a lower capacity SSD for your OS and crucial applications and a HDD for games, Is loading times really that important? Also, what is your budget for a SSD+HDD solution.

Here, I'll use a GTX 780 and you use a 8800GT, see how far your optimization tricks get you.

Just saying, Why is there no 'Slick by himself' option!

I game at 2560x1440 on my asus pb278q, but honestly, why would they release such a underpowered product. Personally, I was kinda excited what apple was attempting to do with releasing a higher resolution notebook, but the underclocked gt 650m really wasn't the right choice for that laptop.

$499 i believe. Prices usually drop after about a month.

Well you used the word "slower", which I assumed meant the rate at which work is done, not the amount. It makes sense for Microsoft to use DDR3 in their console since they're using like 18 VMs (FFS right?). But, typical dumbo consumer gonna think: "bigger number = better".
