    New rig, mysterious black outs...

    it's definitely not the game. I can run LoL in windowed just fine, but almost every game will cause the no signal from monitor in full screen. this also happens if I try to rate windows (system rating in windows 7), and on a few video stress tests. it seems like the gpu fan isn't kicking in...

    1300$ to spend.

    hahaha...well, this WD here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136533) is 20$ more, but 6.0Gb/s and 64mb cache, opposed to the Samsung's 3.0 and 32mb. Not sure if this is worth it... as far as the optical.. might use the lite-on instead.

    Should have gotten two 470s when they were 200 a piece a few weeks ago...guess I'll go with 1 570 unless that deal returns soon.

    Alright... finally, since I'm not getting an H70 cooling or anything, should I fill up the case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119197) - HAF 922 fan slots? i.e. additional 200mm on the side? i plan on using just one GTX 570. should I change to an XFX 750? mfenn?
