I give up.
Tried editing, re-typing, copying to clipboard and starting fresh.
4 edits and that as good as it gets.

Conclusion: Forum software sucks......period!

Congratulations on completing the build.  When I did my first build and it worked when I first powered it on, I was amazed.  I had heard all the "horror stories" in the past about building and integrating everything.  I had avoided a "do it yourself" even though I am a PC tech because of that. 

We are similar but you have a "better" system.  I only have a 3770 not a 3770K and I only have 16GB of RAM.  I also have the older H80 cooler.  I've never tried overclocking as it runs great the way it is.

What browser are you using with the forum?  I'm using I.E.9 and don't have the different font size problems.

Thanks Jack.
I'm on Chrome. I'm not installing a bunch of browsers just to post on the forums.
They all work. It just depends on what day it is.  
IE10 is out so I might give that a run. 
Opera and Safari are ok and FireFox will never touch another one of my PC's it's like Norton. Just never liked it. Too many options and settings and plugins not to mention s l o w.

Mike or anyone else, regarding the amount of RAM to install.....is there really a benefit of having 32GB over 16GB for a DAW? (it's always nice to have a huge cushion like this, but....) 

Even in the biggest of projects, do you really access that much RAM? 

I read somewhere that 16GB is more than enough for a DAW (can't remember where I read it though). 

A popular memory tester is Memtest86+.

I'd run 4 passes and with that much memory it'll take at least overnight (my 16gb took 8 hours, if I remember correctly).

I tried I.E.10 but ran into too many compatibility problems so I went back to I.E.9. 

There have been other complaints, that I've seen, about problems with browsers other than I.E.  I've seen this on some other forums too, such as the Dell community forums. 

I installed Chrome but then I started to get some audio dropouts and clicks in Sonar. DPC Latency checker was also showing RED spikes.   As it turned out the Google updater, which was installed with Chrome was causing the problems.  I uninstalled Chrome but the Google updater remained.  I uninstalled it with Revo Uninstaller Pro (paid version) which also searches the registry and has an option to uninstall registry items.  After rebooting the PC I checked and I was still getting the DPC Latency spikes.  I had to manually go through the system and remove many leftover registry entries and even program files.  It was a major mess.  But, after I finally got rid of all the Google updater entries and after rebooting my DPC latency was back in the low green area and I didn't have any more dropouts or clicks in Sonar.
