Yeah should probably get one of those when I next re-do the cable management.
Okay so I stripped my desktop down and cleaned it. It turns out the GPU flexes a little because I seem to be missing a screw for the backplate support bracket. I bought it used off someone from [H], so he either missed a screw installing it, or it was missing from the factory. In any case, I just noticed it. Even though that PSU connector corner sagged, it doesn't put any strain on the PCI-e slot, as the rear securing brackets (though tool-less) secure it in place very well. I also re-routed the rear fan and heatsink cables, as well as zip tied some things (including the corner of the GPU).
Got myself a bunch of new hardware for Christmas.
I don't know why anyone would spend so much on a pc you could just get an xbox 360 and some tv off the curb
"Only" 6k for a car from 1988, you could have gotten a Taurus or something that would get you from point a to point b for a lot less. And besides, how do we even know if it's your car?

I picked up a new gaming headset that uses optical instead of it's own built-in sound card, so I thought I'd get a decent card to go along with it.
Nice, the headset I bought has it's own mixer, so I just need a nice card to send optical audio out to the mixer, and I use that to control the volume, game/chat audio, and aux.I have Creative ZrX
Your CPU is running at 6C? That seems awfully low... what are you using to monitor the temps? I know sometimes with AMD systems the temperature programs are sometimes a bit unreliable and give very weird readings. It will be cool with a water cooling solution like yours, but probably not 6C at idle.
Im using Core temp, CPUz, and HWmonitor. All at the same time btw. Now in chrome it's at 10c. Here is a screen shot.
28C seems much more like it. That's still very cool indeed but much more plausible than 10C which was probably your temperature monitors misreading the temperature sensors on your board.
