What Case?

h440, it's because of my cable management, I can't figure out which cable is blocking the panel from closing.

The color of my Galaxy HoF 780's (or the black color of everything else in my case) 

 

(just to be clear, Galaxy 780 HoF's look absolutely gorgeous, just don't go well with my scheme)

My case. Its way to small and cheap. I need a new one but have only had this one for about 6 months. It was a bad decision to buy.

The Seagate hdd that makes a constant chirping noise without the use of a special software.

 

Also, perhaps the ginormous CPU cooler that has fingerprints on it -_-

I have the funds to upgrade to a high end intel CPU, BUT can't push myself to pay over 100$ for a MOBO. It's a damn plastic square that does nothing. It's a mechanical whore that takes in all the male parts, not worth ~200$+!

 

I'll stick with my AMD FX socket with a 970 until some low end mobo is made. *shrug*

- Arc Midi R2 fans need to be replaced, they're obnoxiously loud

- HDD anti-vibration mounts were useless, on the plus side I suspended it in the 5.25" bay and removed both 3.5" HDD cages, so I get way better airflow now.

- My 4690k is a sub-par overclocker

- Nvidia's GPU Boost is stupid

 

I think that's everything, fans can be fixed by becoming Noctua's.

My case after installing a bigger PSU. I cannot install my 120mm fan at the bottom anymore causing additional 6C heat at full load.

That I skimped out a bit on a cpu (i'm planning on gaming, streaming, and video editing and game creation) just so I could get the highest end GPU I could afford at the time. 

 

I bought a 4690k (not a bad processor) for about $195 and got a Gigabyte Windforce 780ti for about $637 about a month before maxwell was released and prices dropped. 

All because I wanted the premium so badly, only to find out that after a while you could buy one for a little below $400 after maxwell launch.

 

Also, I didn't realize I could probably have gotten some other upgrades if I had bought 8gb of ram instead of getting 16gb that would have been used with that i7 I didn't buy.

The fact that the hard drive generates huge amounts of audible vibration,and i don't know whether the hdd or case is at fault.

 

Also,my power supply fan is too loud.No SSD either.And i need a CPU Upgrade. :(  But the vibration is the worst of them.

When I wake my computer up from sleep (actually, after the display turns off but before full sleep) I am greeted with a blank screen.  The only way to fix this is restarting the computer. 

 

I tried posting for help in the troubleshooting section but after 2 days, nobody has replied (How does that even happen?). :(  Does anybody know anything to help me out?

Uhm probably everything except my PSU and vid card!

But if I had to name only one part I'd say the motherboard. I hate that the most. Ugh. I puke everytime I see it.
