I'm not sure if there are any rules broken by posting the link I'm about to (mod can remove if necessary), but there is a driver hack that lets you SLI different cards of the same architecture. I was able to get a 560ti SLI'ed with my...

You can link many things together in a watercooling loop just fine, so long you have enough rad space. Most common advise is 120mm rad space per component, plus an additional 120mm. So for your CPU and 2 GPU's in 1 loop, you should...

Take a look at this thread. http://www.overclock.net/t/1100100/info-intel-2500k-2600k-overclocking-tips/0_50 Also, I have to say you are absolutely nuts for using auto OC to get 5.2GHz! It's obviously why that mobo died. Definitely...

I think your best bet would be to do some research and head down the custom loop path. Will perform better than cutting up other coolers and trying to make them work together. Take your time to find out everything you need first though.

I did $1500 for cost of CPU + Mobo + DDR4, and it is a high guess. July 1 just as it's mid year, obviously no true idea.

Assuming a ~$1500 cost and a release mid year, I have a goal!

For a mere $20, I would do the step up, and then in the future you can always SLI 770's.

Since it doesn't work in any slot while another card does, it sounds pretty dead to me. One last thing to try is put it in another computer and see if it works then. Otherwise, I think you'll need a new card.

You should look into Haswell. Only get the 4770k if you do more than gaming such as streaming/video editing/etc. Why 16-32GB of ram? Gaming wise, 8GB is the butterzone right now but I could see 16GB becoming more useful in the future.
