I must not be good at overclocking since at 1050MHz, my system crashes when idling.

Wait for newer drivers? Not all gpu, cpu are the same. Some overclock better than others whether is binned or not. Ex. gtx 570 can reach 1ghz for some, mines cannot no matter how much voltage I give it.

I finally got my new build put together!

You're supposed to install the graphics card in the first slot (the top one).

As long as the slot has enough bandwidth, it doesn't really matter which it is in.

[QUOTE="horgen123"][QUOTE="ChiliDragon"] That PSU should last you many years. And I bet it is wanting SLI setup :P That is if it had a will of it own.

It will. It does. It really does. I've told it to be patient... good things come to those who wait. :)
Isn't that graphics card in the wrong slot?WWIAB

nope as long as he/she only has 1 gpu pluged in it will have full speed from the pcie3x16 slots

djdarkforces
And yes, that's why the card is where it is. Also, if I put it in none of the other slots, the video card would end up blocking the SATA ports, and that's annoying.

if you have room in your budget i would highly suggest a bigger ssd. 64 would just be annoying to micro manage all the time. i have a 120 with very few programs on and i've got a good 30gb of room left for future programs.

You could get a mobo lower than that and 3570k instead unless you care about applications, but otherwise it looks fine.

Ok, but the manual says otherwise.

Having the video card covering the SATA ports during the multi-drive shuffle I had to do to install my OS and things, just wasn't worth it. And since I'm lazy, leaving it where it is means less work when I buy a second video card to make it do SLI. It's all about convenience. ;) I can run all my games at high settings, and run them well, so until that changes I really don't see a need to move the video card anywhere. :)
