You can't allocate more than 2gb for the heap size on 32 bit java. Make sure you're running 64 bit java or allocate <=2GB
 
edit: I should add its ~2 GB for windows (might actually be around 1.5, cant remember). Other operating systems may allow more

The biggest thing is your lighting. If you have large windows around your setup, open them and take your pictures during the day. 
Also if you have a ton of RGB, turn the brightness down. You don't want your PC to be brighter than the ambient light in the room, otherwise it'll either come out dark or blurry. 
 

Me too that's why I am 2 builds behind in posting LOL.
 
@ OP
 
The first step I have found is...LIGHTING!  Lots and lots of robust lighting.

Yeah, thats what I believe it is, as he has just been traveling with it and its so easy to just have a cable that comes lose whilst in the boot of a car or something! 
 
I'll relay that back to him, thanks!

Test the memory (RAM) one by one and see if the GPU works. Try testing the GPU on another computer.

If the PC seems to be running like normal, but not displaying anything randomly, I would suspect a bad cable or loose connection that wiggles free or is just barely making contact "sometimes".
 
Dying graphics cards are either sudden or they slowly artifact into oblivion. So that wouldn't be a thing I'd worry about yet.

WAIT I MEANT QUAD CORE, sorry  
 
and ill check with him and oask him to run one of those! 
 
Thanks!

THERE YOU GO :DDDD

yeah sure.
ultimately, it's OP's choice anyway.
just giving him the option to get a better case or save money.

We would let OP decide if he wants to exchange SSD and case.

Got it, thanks!

Why the 3TB HDD?
Why only 8GB RAM?
 
I'd suggest a 1 or 2TB HDD, with 16GB RAM.

He can use the SSD Plus if he wants to, but it was just informing him that not all SSDs are created equal.
I'm also not telling him he should spend an extra $50 on an SSD. a tier 1 SSD of the same storage size is only 1.53 pounds more.

It is on tier 4 because it is a budget friendly SSD to begin with, aside synthetic benchmarks there is absolutely no difference really, my brother had to swap his failing Crucial MX300 for one of those and since he has felt absolutely no difference in real life performance what so ever, his notebook still is lighting fast as expected from any SSD.
 
Don't get me wrong I know I come a bit harsh but it is because people often lock their minds on details that makes no difference what so ever to hella lot of people who just want the cheapest possible to close the build budget and in this case that SSD fits in perfectly fine.

IM GONNA CRY EVERYONE IS SO NICE OMG. Thank you so much, it honestly means an insane amount! <3

Overall solid build. The PC community is proud to have you. Keep up the good work, brother. 

Thank you so much! No ones ever complimented a build of mine apart from my mum  It means so much! Thank you :DDDD 
 
 

looks like a great build, pretty balanced

It does  I'm so jealous of all these people who have them! The price has dropped so much it seems stupid not getting one now! My USA build will have 2! It'll be heaven!
 
Thanks for the input! <3

Those are outputs for running two fans, probably the radiator fan and a case fan.

You don't believe how frustrating this was for me, with a Q6600 of all things, I was freaking out too. Glad I could help!

You were correct sir! I took the CPU block off and cleaned it then realised that all the standoff screws were barely even screwed in...! 
 
So I tightened them, applied some more compound and poof! Idle around 31C, under load 60C! Thanks so much

Is there any reason for the two monitors? I'd rather get one nice 3440x1440 monitor with G-Sync and a higher refresh rate (ASUS PG348Q or the Acer X34).
 
You can also save a large chunk of money by getting the R7 1700 and overclocking it.
 
But firstly, what do you intend to use this build for?

Aha! This actually got it!

Thanks man! 

Open the case and look at it
