You might have your remaining card in a secondary slot. Some (most?) motherboards require you to use slot "1" in a single card configuration. Slot 1 being the one highest vertically (closest to your CPU) when your case is upright.
Use the top output on GPU too

Does using a virtual box on a machine act the same way as a proxy?
I was sitting in class today and just wondered this and google pointed to how to set up a proxy via virtualbox.
I am just wondering if the two act the same way?

Does anyone know about some compact/smal mechanical keyboards? like the Razer blackwidow tournament edition. Would be nice to know if there any other manufacturers that make that kind of keyboards.

That's just a tenkeyless keyboard, just google tenkeyless and you'll find over a dozen from Filco, Leopold, Coolermaster, Ducky, WASD, and so on.

My remaining GPU is in slot 1, and I've tried every output on the GPU.

Proxy... server? For what?
A virtual machine is quite a different entity.
Usually the point of some kind of network proxy (anonymity, security, country identification by IP address, etc.) is contingent on the proxy actually having a different IP address as seen from the outside, which isn't going to happen for whatever other machines—virtual or not—on your home network.

Just got my GPU and PSU in the mail today and I was wondering, should I replace the PSU first, power the PC on to see if it works, turn it off, let it cool, then plug the GPU in, then turn on the PC, then update the drivers, then turn the PC off/reboot? Or can I just turn off my PC, let it cool, plug the PSU in, then the GPU in, then turn it on?
Basically, in replacing my GPU and PSU, what order/steps should I take? Also, I don't have a ground-bracelet-thingy, and my current PSU (the one I'm going to replace) doesn't have an on/off switch but I heard using a power strip to ground myself will do just fine: is this true?

Just change both at the same time. Touching anything metal will discharge you. I've been countless computers on top of carpets (a supposed giant no no due to static electricity) and have never had an issue.

Anyone know a good fileshare site that will take ~900mb files for free? Mega isn't working for some reason.

Google, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc.

Mediafire has a 200mb limit, dropbox 300mb through the site. I'll use google drive.

I hear people really like HD7870 LE at the moment since it is basically a weaker version of 7950 for one of the best performance/price ratio.
pci 2.0 won't matter at the moment since no card utilizes all of 3.0.

*since no card is bottlenecked on x16 2.0
3.0 is primarily a marketing gimmick at this point, it's going to be a few more generations before flagship gpus will start utilizing the additional bandwidth meaningfully.

PCIe 3.0 helps some for GPGPU computing, also for splitting lanes to multiple graphics cards for gaming. It's not a factor when looking at graphics cards for gaming now, definitely not around $200.
HD 7870 is a bit out of budget, but that or GTX 660 should be okay. GTX 660 is more like $200 after rebate.

Here's a random phone question from a newbie about phones. I plan on getting the Nexus 4 (upgrading from Samsung Captivate aka the first Galaxy S). Is there anything I need to keep in mind or is the upgrade as simple as putting in my old SIM card?

I have a netbook. is there an easy way to run video to my tv?
