I have gone into the BIOS and done a complete system restore. Everything is better, though I am going to definitely wait for the full driver.

Okay, so I was in the process of updating to the newest Nvidia beta driver, and my PC froze. Being stupid me, I thought I could just restart my PC and it would be fixed. No. Not at all. I got a black screen when I booted up, and my monitor lost signal from the video card. I have tried switching to my onboard video, and even tried hitting the reset button, but to no avail. HELP ME, PLEASE. MY CARD DIDN'T COME WITH A WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT SAID ON AMAZON "COMES WITH THREE YEAR WARRANTY." HELP. My card is an NVIDIA GTX 770 2GB, if that helps, and I am using Windows 8.1 as an OS.

Hey, CatButts! Love your PC. Also a big fan of you guys' videos! THOSE CABLES ARE SO SEXY. I MEAN, REALLY. HOLY JESUS. HAYDEN IS SOMEWHERE CRYING INTO HIS HATSUNE MIKU PILLOW ABOUT THEM. Do you think we could play a game together? *sheepish shrug* I still haven't upgraded to my 4670k and H100i. I hate myself for that. I have a GTX 770 Windforce Edition from Gigabyte, and I have been able to OC that thing to like, 1450mhz without any noise issues or temp issues, all on air. I'm quite proud of it.

I've had this issue as well. As far as I have seen, there isn't a fix to it. Ouch.

I got Borderlands 2 and a couple more like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Garry's Mod. Sweet.

Hi! I'd like to welcome my fellow newbie builders by saying welcome to the GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTER RACE! Now, most of you guys probably just got out of the researching phase, or are in the middle of it. This is just a little info that I would consider helpful if I was a serious newbie. What is ESD???? I'm confused. ESD is fairly simple. Linus has a video on it. It's fairly old, but nothing has changed in the laws of physics (has anything???). Essentially, it is when you electrocute that gorgeous thousand-dollar graphics card with a static shock. It sucks. It's like when you touch a door knob and it stings, but with major consequences. Oh god, my whole life has been ruined!! What can I do to protect myself from glorious Gaben's lightning farts?! The measures you can take to protect yourself from this are quite simple. They're also cheap. There are many a strange, no-name Japanese company selling ESD wristbands. There are also other products other than that. Such as: Anti-Static bags. (these are included with HDD's, motherboards, and graphics cards, etc.) They really aren't a product, but make sure you have one on hand when transporting a mobo or graphics card. Anti-Static Wrist Bands (many different types, such as color and wireless/wired flavors. Cordless uses compounds in the box to break down static charge.) Anti-Static Gloves. These aren't really my personal favorite, as they can be loose and force you to drop components. I think you can buy custom-fitted versions somewhere online, though. Anti-Static Mats. These are sort of self-explanatory, but basically you either stand on them while building or build your PC on top of them. This is the most stylish one I could find, other than a couple gray (or grey, if you live in the U.K.) ones. That's good. Now I have to buy tons more stuff. What could I do besides getting all of that??? Aside from getting this stuff (you really don't need all of it, you can just get a wristband), avoid carpet while building, and if you (for some reason) can't afford a three dollar wristband, yet can afford a $600-$1500 PC, just plug the power supply into the wall, but turn it off, and touch it every so often. (I recommend setting a timer on a phone or other device for 1.5-2 minutes, and touching the power supply when it goes off, then setting it again.) Other than that, I would not wear socks or rubber-soled shoes while building your fresh, newborn PC. (keep in mind I'm a newbie too, so if I missed something or screwed the wording of something up, let me know or make corrections below. This is just information I found around the web, and thought it would be better for everyone if I put it here, so you don't have to search for it.) Enjoy your new PC! <3

I GOT THIS AS WELL. I AM SOOOO CONFUSED, AND SOME OF MINE AREN'T FREE TO PLAY. I'M CONFUSED, BUT AM NOT GOING TO OBJECT.

I've been running 3DMark11 and getting some pretty sweet FPS and score improvements over my A8-6500. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW.

Update: I have since this post ordered a GTX 770 Windforce. It should arrive on the fourth at the latest

For the email and phone I did "bob_saget@gmail.com and 666-666-6666"

I have plenty of room for the Windforce, I measured the case

The title pretty much explains it all, except I'm in need of a GTX 770, and am interested in the stock cooler, as it has a really awesome aesthetic, as well as being slightly quieter than the old 680's. I was also looking at the Gigabyte Windforce model with that cooler. I am thinking of doing some mild overclocking, but I'm leaning more towards the reference cooler. Suggestions?
