I have to admit... Your whole gaming setup has me scratching me head. Firstly, what's up with the room itself? The wood floors have this cool vintage look to them. One wall looks like matte navy blue paint, and the other appears to be several layers of torn wallpapers. Very eye catching, but was there an intentional look here?
Haha thanks, my apartment is pretty old and we are supposed to be re-doing this whole room and fix all that wallpaper, that's why there's a bunch of stuff just stacked in the back. I think it looks cool for the time being.
What kind of case is that?
With many motherboards only the top pci-e slot is wired to be a full speed pci-e, lower ones are often times simply repackaged pci slots. So you may want to verify you are getting the highest speeds possible for your GPU's performance.
X79 boards have 40 pci lanes so I'd imagine he's ok with it down there.
