    45c isn't even bad while gaming on load. You're safe as long your cpu doesn't hit 80c. That really is the safe spot. Around 90c your cpu starts to throttle.

    Not much of a difference with the refresh Haswell chips. Just better thermal compound application.

    If the CAS timing doesn't bother you and you're going for aesthetics, go and get the Fury(CL10) line. The Vengeance Pro has CL9 timings. They're not much of a difference but oh well.

    Oh yeah, I forgot Linus always use beta versions of the driver.

    :'\ I wished I saved a little more and got the 780 now

    Not really very efficient way to overclock.

    I have the same ram kits and air cooler. It will fit, but you have to adjust the first fan at least to the height of the metal badge that covers the rest of the cooler. http://imgur.com/a/Jn8Pw

    Indeed. You can push until 4.4ghz with this cooler, and it would still be fine. Maybe around 42c-45c which is kind of a little hot kind of normal.

    You can plug them on the system_fan headers. But you won't be able to control them, even via AI Suite, because they're not PWM(4-pin) fans.

    GTX 770 is the bang for the buck for 1080p gaming. Will run games on ultra right now. Well, except Watch Dogs. Cause Ubi never learned.

    MSI GD-45 Gaming or ASUS Z97-A

    Dual channel is fine.

    Cache is like those buttons on your polo shirt. Yeah, we don't pay that much attention to them as long as the polo shirt makes us look good.

    You won't need a buff card for an application that depends heavily on graphics card. Watch Dogs is poorly optimized. Even a Titan can't run it past 60fps. Get a mid-semi high end card(GTX 770/ r9 280x), and wait for patch fixes. Some people say the pirated version is better than the legit one.
