A GTX 690 has internal 8x/8x, meaning it had PCI-E 2.0 8x and thus PCI-E 1.1 16x. Eh. I'd be surprised if an underclocked GTX 680 (effectively) would be held back all too much by that. Yes, it has a consistent and measurable effect but not a noticable one. Held back? No. But premiered by faster? Ever so slightly.
I honestly would not worry 'tall about it.

It's kinda simple to find out. Make a custom resolution of 2560x1440 or 2560x1600p then open something like Gpu-z and have an eye on your gpu usage. PCIe interface bottlenecking or lanes means your gpu will never reach 99% and you will see that the memory controller isn't being maxed out.

You're not kidding. I already detected shitty quality with my FiiO E10 and Shure SRH440s, but with my JDS Labs O2+DAC and He-400s it's more evident than ever. Currently listening to The Cult with FLAC quality and I'm hearing stuff I've never heard before. Everything sounds so layered and warm. It's glorious.
MSI kombustor shows the workload. Before I switched out the 2600K my workload was 96% on the GTX680. Not sure if it actually means anything. Temps were 63C at that workload and I have a constant ambient of 23 in my house.
I'm leaving my shitty computer settings for hearthstone beta, maybe it might give me a chance, who knows>.>.

So the battery on my (active) bass goes dead every 1,5/2weeks. Time for a power supply
Made a scart connector on the guitar and connected it in parallel to the battery so i still have the option of using it.
9V AC->DC adapter with a custom circuit between it to limit the output to exactly 9V, and some extra capacitors to reduce noise.
Yay no more battery issues ^^: http://imgur.com/a/ecRMV

By the way, i'm having suspicions about these types of posts:

A virtually non-existant question with an entire discussion below it. Seems to me the OP is trolling.
That one's fine; no one is being a twat or trying to rile feathers in the thread and for once there's semi-decent discussion happening

So I'm considering doing some sleeving to make the cables look nice and uniform. Now, I know some of you here have experience with it so I have a few questions.
1. Is it hard to do?
2. Which if any special tools are required? I'd rather not buy unnecessary tools if I can avoid it.

1. Hard, no. Time consuming, yes.
2. Standard sleeve-kit works wonders. A heat-gun helps.

Start by sleeving something trivial. My first was a fan, then a motherboard speaker. Modular PSU is recommended for novice sleevers.
The PSU is already sleeved, I'm more looking to do the various other cables. Fans, data cables, temperature probes and the lot.

I'm assuming the PSU was not sleeved by you then.
Buy a starter sleeving kit, that's what I did. You will get acceptable stuff for a small sum of cash; i.e. proper tools, alright heatshrink and black sleeve. For any serious sleeving I'd point towards MDPC-X: http://de.mdpc-x.com/mdpc-sleeve.htm. Nils offers some of the best and highest grade/quality stuff on the market for sleevers. He demands and only offers perfection.
