PFC in Power Supplies?

What exactly is the benefit of having active PFC in a PSU compared to none/passive PFC in PSU? It is worth the added cost and what does it buy you?

DS3 Grounding Question

Some motherboards require a ground for electrical reasons. Furthermore, as previously stated it may cause the board to flex.

Ah ok thanks for the specific answer to that. It appears that there are a total of 4 orange ones right? I'm just a little concerned with the issues that I've been seeing on the forums about motherboards and being picky on SATA ports and selection. However, thanks for the help! Furthermore I...
