It is best to put whatever programs you use the most on the SSD. This means your Operating System and Any Games you want to play. Use the standard HDD to store Music, Movies, and Documents.
My advice is to buy both an SSD and an R9 290 video card. The SSD will make your machine feel more...
Six year old Power Supply? I would have checked that before swapping motherboards, but that is just me. A bad Power Supply can damage a whole lot of components, including CPU. Does the motherboard give any sort of POST code when it boots? Does he even have a speaker plugged into the mobo...
Let's try this a different way perhaps since showing pictures is not working. How about showing test reviews of different coolers.

You doubt it?
Please note how only three of the five heat pipes make contact with the core and explain how that does not diminish the performance of the cooler.
My thoughts are that you should use the two front fans on the radiator as intake fans and the single 120 in back for an exhaust. This would create a positive pressure inside the case and reduce dust build up. It would be pulling cooler external air across your radiator and maximizing your...
I was going to recommend a ThermalRight HR-02 Macho until I saw you had case size limitations. If it would fit, it would definitely be the best passive HS available.

Why not try to replace the fan on the Zalman? It doesn't have to be...
I am an Asus fan and recommend their products often, but I have never had to do an RMA from them. Your experience certainly gives me pause. Good luck getting your card replaced!
I am going to echo these sentiments about 1440 as well. Going from a 24" 1080 to a 27" 1440p is one of the best computer upgrades I have done in my life; it absolutely made the most visual improvement.
You are not spending THAT much more money to get a 1440 and the resolution increase is...
If you are wanting efficiency, you should wait until the rest of the Maxwell GPUs launch at the end of the year. Unfortunately they keep pushing the 20nm stuff launch back, but if efficiency and power is what you want, you should wait.
Alternatively, you could SLI a pair of GTX750Ti.
Text will be bigger on the 1080 screen by default, but it will also be more "pixelated" because there are fewer pixels per inch. The 1440 screen will have more pixels per inch and can thus zoom in to make the text larger without loss of quality much better than a 1080. If you try to zoom the...
