My coolant is a nice green color (didn't dye it) I'm not going to change the color of it. Adding extra chemicals to a predetermined mixture isn't my thing.

my favorite is red and white

Get an external DAC, this will most definitely solve that distortion problem

I personally own a 380, the 4GB model. Don't know the difference between the two besides the memory.

For surround sound headphones, in my puny eyes, it's very unclear on what's a good headphone to get. However, being someone who has done many-a-home theater system setup, I can give you a little advice there. Get speakers from a reliable brand, such as BOSS, Kicker, Bose(i know, i know), Klipsch, Pyle, Pioneer, and so on and so forth. Make sure you buy 7 bookshelf/woofer speakers (bookshelf speakers preferably, since they can have tweeters built in), and total up their power consumption (usually says on packages or instore, or online store page) and then look for 1 or 2 subwoofers. If the room you're putting this stuff in is small, then 1 high-wattage small woofer (6.25-10 inches) should be ok. But if the room is big/you wanna make your neighbors mad, get 1 high-wattage large woofers (10-15in) or 2 low wattage 8-12in units. After calculating the total wattage, buy a receiver that's a few hundred watts more powerful. (Eg. 1200W total system, buy a 1500W reciever, futureproof, and unlikely to create coil whine or distort heavily under extreme power draw.) Make sure you buy this from one of the brands listed above as well. I would look specifically for a receiver that supports up to 7.2 channels, with many inputs just to make for sure that you won't run out. These receivers can get expensive though. Make sure it has both the mono and L/R channels for using subwoofers, as some have the inputs but won't take signal from them for some reason. For subwoofer placement, just place the subwoofer in the place in which you will listen from, in your chair or on the couch, whatever. Then crawl around the wall of the room, while listening to a track/movie with notes you know well. When one place sounds good, mark it with painter's tape. Keep doing this, and when you get around to where you started, choose one of the marked spots and move your subwoofer there. For speaker placement, make sure you get the 1-7 channels right. Place them out of the way if possible. Make sure they are placed where necessary, usually in owners manual or in videos. Once you have this done, hook up your system one final time, with speakers placement and receiver placement exactly where you want it. Then, use any channel on your receiver (CD, Tape, Aux, TV, they are all the same signal quality, just pick one.) Then run either a 1/4 inch or 3.5mm connector (whatever your source uses) into the receiver. Put the volume on your source to max, and use the knob on the receiver, or its remote to change volume or settings. In your source, if you can, change the audio "mode" to a more balanced mode. Then make final adjustments on the receiver. Enjoy

RMA it

CRT's are very interesting devices, IMO mostly because of the way they work, with their fancy electron guns that zigzag about on a phosphor covered whatever to make your porn really pop.

turtle beach headsets ftmp are trash. get a good pair of headphones/a good set of speakers, and a good amp/reciever then we can talk

The CPU and PSU for both are bad. The 360 is not bad. Being someone who used its predecessor, the 260 (non-X) and it was able to play 1080p games med/high settings, it was perfectly doable. Just because the card doesn't cost trillions of Shitdollars or whatever doesn't mean it's bad.

Instead of disabling the speakers, you possibly may have deleted your audio drivers. Check your manufacturer's website for an audio driver.

Lately, when trying to play GTA V, a few minutes after entering the game, the game will crash, and Windows will give an error that says "...System is critically low on memory" It started doing this only a few weeks ago, and when checking Task Manager, only around 14% of my RAM is being used on the desktop. I have 8GB of RAM, GTA has always been ok on it. Does GTA really use that much memory?

It will be very sufficient for any gaming at 1080p max settings. An R9 290 (even non-X) paired with a good processor is capable of maxing 1080p titles. My R9 380 4GB (Windforce) is able to run 1080p games maxed, and my CPU sucks. So I would imagine a card that performs better, paired with a better CPU and more RAM, would do just fine.

The XPS 710 has 7 expansion slots. A standard ATX motherboard will fit.
