It was a seagate external drive, how could I say no to that price though

Well atm (at least until dx12) video card ram doesn't work that way. Video card ram acts as 4+4=4 instead of 4+4=8, so 2 titain zs would still just be 12 gb of ram.
At least that's how i think it works.

p sure that's how it works. SLI only recognizes the vram of one of your cards.

well if it breaks always warranty!!!
i feel like they had some of these cluttering and were like "here take em they might die on boot tho"

sadly yes, but for now huehue

i'm still waiting on my cpu cooler to arrive. i have almost everything i ordered except for that, so i really can't do much building yet :(

To be fair i think it had to do with you putting way too much thermal paste on the cpu, not the cooler

Just get some $60 closed loop cooler. Worth every penny.

My 20 dollar Hyper T4 keeps me at a modest 60c while gaming.

dual cards will split the screen. 1 takes top half and the other renders the bottom.
they will each use thier own memory for the screen overlay resolution.

however thats the easy part. the main card is the only one that is using its memory for allllll them textures and 3d rendering resolutions. so basically yeah, only 1card is pulling the heavy load.

I plan on going to Memory Express tomorrow and getting a 2 TB HDD and a 128 GB SSD. What are some good brands for an SSD? I will probably get a Western Digital HDD.

Go with a Crucial MX100 or Samsung Evo 850. I know both of those are supposed to be the bees knees. Also why go for a 128GB  when most 256GB ones are only a little bit more
