As far as I know everything in my comp is relatively fresh hardware/software wise, but I have terrible start up times. I've basically run out of space on my main hard drive even though I shouldn't have. I want to clean my comp but not not sure what the best way to do that is. This was mainly due to the fact that I needed space for GW2...
So...Yeah I want to clean my comp/repair **** that is slowing me down, not sure how to accomplish this with minimal time commitment.

CCleaner is a good tool for some quick freeing up.
Although it will get clogged up again unless you make proper room on your drive.

Well jeffy if you don't already you should get an SSD for the OS+Programs (the size really depends on the needs you have) we already named few brands. Ocz, Corsair and samsung behing the best 3 sellers. If you already possess one, try to kill some process at the startup (search msconfig, in your start menu and uncheck few uneeded stuff in "startup programms"), like searz said CCleaner is pretty good when you know how to use it. Or there might be the issue of virus/malwares, if you don't scans for those do it now! :P That's pretty much all I can think off non-hardware wize.

So here is what I already bought:
Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Black (Actually the noise is not bothering me at all)
Intel Core i7 3770 (3,4Ghz, 8MB cache)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM Sata III
MSI Z77A-GD55
Corsair TX750 V2
Asus DVD +/-RW
Kingston HyperX BLU 1600 MHZ DDR3 2x8GB
Graphic card, still shopping for one
Decided to keep the cpu fan stock (The owner of the shop told me that at max capacity the cpu goes to 50C
wich isn't much with a stock fan and the i7 3770 is not made for overcloaking anyway
SSD, was 50$ more in the shop I went, might as well pay 10$ shipping online and pay 40$ less

You didn't get the k variant of the CPU? O.o
Well yea, then you don't need a better cooler since you can't overclock.
There's a lot of untapped potential in a CPU that isn't overclocked.
And getting a case with good airflow is kind of a waste if you aren't gonna overclock :/

It's said that the 3770K doesn't have great OC ability either .1-.4 more than a locked 3770.
Also you need to, like the design of the case you're buying, have space in it (when you're changing parts and stuff it's always nice to have additional space. Air Flow, why not? I'm going SLI eventually.
All this space mang, fap fap fap

Lol, what? O.o
I wouldn't count on those sources of yours being reliable..
Swedish hardware reviewers (Sweclockers.com) overclocked the i7 3770K and the i5 3570 by 1.2GHz. Landing on 4.7GHz for the i7 and 4.6 GHz for the i5.
Any normal person should EASILY reach 4GHz with any of those CPUs. Assuming you have a good cooler.
If you know your way around overclocking then 4.2-4.5GHz shouldn't be too hard either.
Me? I'm staying at 3.8GHz because reaching 4GHz isn't big enough a boost to make the extra heat worth it. At 4GHz my CPU would require ~1.4v which will probably reduce chip lifetime, so I'd rather just rest on 3.8GHz and 1.325v while being certain that it'll last many years into the future. Still; I'm overclocking 0.8GHz, which is a pretty good boost.

Lol, that's not very spacious. Airflow=/=space. Antec 900 has good airflow.
THIS is spacious (there's even an SSD mounted on the backside, out of view):
Just compare them:
I think you can't read at all lol
i7 3770 K or not, with turbo goes up to 3,9 then any normal people that don't want to spend huge ammount of money won't go over 4,5 so we're talking about .4 yeah pretty much. Your website does it? Cool, they have the money to do it. Your main goal by overclocking is to reach values you could reach with a higher cpu. (Pay less same performance) I just bought a 3770 and I can go up to 3,9 still in turbo? Why would I bother spending 100-200$ in cooling for .4 or .5 when I don't even need it?
Have fun reading?
I did say: "I'm going SLI eventually." I need the airflow and this is exactly why I took a 750W and not a 650W because I'm going to do SLI.
