The air flow? Since the case has a frontal fan, I guess this fan should expel air from the case? What direction would that be?
Honestly, how you have it setup right now is ideal airflow wise. The exhaust fan of your case is probably at the I/O shield. The CPU fan probably blows to the exhaust fan and that fan draws the air out of your system. But please do NOT flip the fan around, making it suck air through the heatsink. As they are not designed to have a fan like that.
What the hell is this? [t]http://i.imgur.com/0EEkAPJ.png[/t] Whenever i open a new window of some sort, i get lots of these blank windows.

GTX 680 (305€) or the GTX 770(380€)
[QUOTE=booster;42245171]GTX 680 (305€) or the GTX 770(380€)[/QUOTE] They're basically the same. Only substantial difference are some firmware improvements and a higher memory clock on the 770. If they were the same, or close to the same, price, I'd go for the 770, but with a price difference like that, I think the 680 would be better.

Previously you could only use that feature in Windows 7, but now it kinda works in Windows 8 as well. I've been using some old Matrox software to do that up until now, and that's been working pretty well, so I guess I'll just stay away from the new drivers until they fix it properly.
I need a relatively fast method for doing a full directory listing to a file. This would include all files and any attributes. Anyone know of any programs or anything that would accomplish this?
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB Windforce is this card worth the money(if not recommend a card that has similar performance or better in the same price range or lower)? I am noticing that my current 470 is getting outdated, and seen the best of it's days. Since I had to fix it by baking it in the oven. It's not broken, but is a lot hotter then usual and just can't keep the performance it had before (and as said before, also getting outdated).

[QUOTE=Zero_;42252358]Is the fan position ok? Also, should I hear a click when I press the video card into its slot, like RAMs do?[/QUOTE] The click is fine, they have a holding bracket much like RAM slots do, no worries about that.

I'm trying to install the DVD burner on my case, but I have no idea on how to take the plastic rectangles from the front panel. The manual doesn't help either. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DxAMNnz.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That's the back of the front panel. I tried to take them out by pulling and pushing the metal things at each side of the rectangles, but nothing happened. Maybe I'm not pulling/pushing enough, but I'm scared to break it. Its a K350 Cooler Master
Would this be sufficient enough when buying a gaming PC? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MVbxeX3.png[/IMG] Anything I could change to make it cheaper? Or are there "better" components for a better price?
Well, you've got a mobo that can overclock and a cpu that can't. You probably could change the mobo to a h87 one to cheapen things up a little.
How necessary is overclocking? The 4670K + Z87 would be all together 70€ more expensive.
Not much really. My last two pcs had overclockable everything 'just in case' and there never was a case where I needed to overclock. Unless you'll be doing something balls to the wall intensive I'd say it's not necessary at all. Also people are saying that the newest intel processors got some worse thermal stuff inside the and they don't overclock as well as the older ones. My 3570k is running at stock speeds and it has never been too slow for anything.
Will the GPU be good enough for future games?
5400rpm or 7200rpm HDD? Probably depends on use. I prefer 5400rpm.. but I use many big files.
[QUOTE=Duze;42256508]5400rpm or 7200rpm HDD? Probably depends on use. I prefer 5400rpm.. but I use many big files.[/QUOTE] 7200rpm
The gpu is fine, the question is what will happen to system requirements when the new consoles come out. Probably not much but who knows.
What's the process for reusing a single-user key for Windows 7?
I tried pushing the rectangles really hard, as the manual says, but it bent a little. Luckily it was the rectangle that bent, not the case, so it doesnt really matter. But still, I have no idea what to do.
Trying to manually solve my GPU problem before going RMA process, one of the results say "it was the Asus Z77 Sabertooth BIOS PCIe Set to 'Auto' that was kicking my GPU to Gen 3 mode, and it was causing some kind of issue and the crashes. Setting it to Gen 2 fixed all the issues." I have an ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro with latest BIOS from ASUS website but there is no such setting in my BIOS settings. Any ideas? Does it only exist on Z77 mobos?

The panels themselves are molded into the front panel. You've got to break the points that hold them in. You won't break the panels, though.
I've been having a problem with Youtube, only on Chrome. Sometimes, the video becomes very choppy and laggy in a sense and I can't figure out how to fix it. After searching, it was suggested to disable the built-in flash player via chrome://plugins, which I did. It did not fix the issue. I updated shockwave to the newest version via the official website as well... still no luck (albeit it doesn't happen quite as often). Could it be a graphics issue? I'm really not sure.
