The pro is faster period, the EVO was introducted to replace the Vanilla 840, why would they make it faster then the pro if it was a substitute for that category, also the pro has Rapid Mode now thanks to an update

Plus the PRO is faster then the EVO

Make sure its connected to the Gold ports NOT the black brown ones

7770 is faster then the GTX650, for that price I would get the AMD, get 2x4GB DDR3 ram (run dual channel) THE END

You will be fine if the card is re-flashed back to stock, I doubt the flash really had anything to do with it, I doubt it would of lasted 4 months if it was, just RMA it and play dumb, they wont check and if they do they will see the original bios is on there.

With your price range and specs there is no need to buy a 4GB card, we would really need to know what games you are intending on playing before we could suggest the right card, as for the ram get 2 sticks (4GBx2). PS fill out your system specs on your profile then there is no need for you to...

Where do you live, how much will you take ??.

Get a better cooler if you're going to do this, you will probably find it raised the voltage also, download CPUZ and Prime95 and test, this will see if its stable and what voltage you are using. I would take it back to normal and run prime 95 and cpuz and see what voltage it is, then I would...

Just pay the $125, you get it back anyway, this way you can back up all your shit and not have to worry, the extra cost is probably shipping cost, did you really think they are going to send you a brand new drive with no collateral ??,

I always pay extra and get a Modular supply, it makes it easy later if you have to change or upgrade it.

Well obviously you pick Safemode with networking if the problem is in the networking section, also they thought it was a software issue (not a driver) and in this case Safemode with networking would be a valid test. I am glad you got it sorted though

Safemode ??

I like Brand NAME monitors also, for something that's on all the time I would pay the extra, I think with monitors you get what you pay for.

See if he wants yours and get the Coolermaster, I am kind of blown away at that case. You will need some exhaust fans on the roof though and get the one without the Window, the one with has no option for a side fan.

Thermaltake V3 are really light, but you will go over your 500 with the case, mainboard and CPU. You H100 might be a tight fit though, although it should be close.
