Is $120 good deal for a used HD558?

I just lowered my overclock and voltage a little going to try to run prime95 i guess. I should've taken a screenshot of the taskmanager before rebooting... But, basically with the CPU tab selected there was ONLY chrome brower using cpu it said "chrome.exe*32 / user name / 01"

windows taskmanager

nothing cpu intensive is running in the taskmanager only couple browser is using "01" and cpu usage stays above 75% and when i make new browsers i can feel my computer is choking. Only way I found to fix is to reboot my computer and im wondering if it is a hardware problem or software related.

I have a i5 760 overclocked to 4ghz running since couple years ago. Recently while im using the computer browsing/gaming the usage spikes up to above 75% for no reason and game slows down browser slows down. If I restart the computer again it is back to normal. What can be wrong is the cpu getting too old? Should I lower the overclock or up the voltage a little? It has been running fine for 3+ years with current settings..

Is watching 720p movies on a 1440p 27" monitor look not as good as watching it on 1080p 24" monitor?

heard really good things about MA900 which im waiting for it to go on sale didnt bite on the HD598 sale on amazon cuz of that

i sold my hearthstone beta key on ebay for $85. Best decision ever made cuz that game looks gay

hd600 are $100 more expensive and i heared he400 were better sounding than them... maddogs sound very good deal from what all the reviews say.. are they worth the money?? Cheap headphone modded to sound good is kind of risk for me since this will be first headphone upgrade from my crappy razer headset

is mrspeakers mad dog hp worth the money compared to HE-400? comfort is pretty big factor for me as im going to use it for long gaming sessions while listening to music and movies... are the drivers in both headphones comparable??

How do they compare? Im just looking for new headphones cuz my crappy razer carcharias is kind of broken.danon is 299 and he 400 is 399.

I listen to piano classics mainly. Also, my budget is around $100 just for the soundcard. Budget for the headphone/earbuds are around $400

So how would you get the best sound possible with IEMs for desktop use?

Hi guys, so I think the soundcard that came with my motherboard(maximus formula III) supremeFX is broken. The audio i get is flawless but my mic on skype or any other voip software it makes very weird buzzing static sounds. I use razer carcharias headset and Ive tested it on my brother's computer onboard and it works fine on his. The buzzing static noise gets louder when I use graphic intensive software and its only audible on the left cup - (obviously i have to enable listen in option in mic to hear it). So I've been looking into getting a used sound card like xonar st(x) and new earbuds or headphones to go along with it. I could just upgrade the whole cpu and motherboard and use the onboard sound but Im not really in a need for a more powerful system as i only play league and my i5 760 4ghz is fine for that task. Also, haswell sucks. So my question is, is there a significant difference in sound quality of earbuds vs headphones? I was only looking into headphones until i came across IEMs and was thinking if Im gonna spend tons of money on new sound gear id rather get something i can use portable as well. I will have to get a clip on mic if Im going the earbud route vs something like modmic for headphones. I watch tons of movies, TV shows, and listening to classics and KPOP. Also I have an iphone5. Mainly Im interested on the UE900, Shure 535 LE vs Sennheiser HD598. Please help me decide or suggest other options. Thank you.
