only issues im having so far is drivers not verified for 3dmark.
and my overclock seems to now be causing driver crashes (it could be something else i guess)
Trying to get 353.30 installed now. Cant seem to find how you will stop it installing any old drivers it wants to though..
As for multi monitor setup.. no issues here with that.
But activating windows seems to be a bit hit and miss.. It seems like the online activation system is really under a lot of pressure right now and cant keep up with all the activation requests.
some people have spent multiple hours trying to activate only to get the same error over and over until it finally activated them.

well that's reassuring it's the only issue I have had so far
EDIT: it's activated, I changed the start menu to full screen and setup the apps and now I have my win 8.1 back

i'm having issues just trying to get the os to download...
so far i've tried this
"1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch, hopefully without flaws this time."
still nothing...

You don't use a USB. You download the app, select upgrade this PC now, it downloads it and then installs windows as if it were installed via a USB.

That's not true.. You have to make sure that you don't install through the bootable usb. You go into windows first then run setup from the usb

So just to clarify.
1) make a usb W10 bootable
2) use the usb in Windows
3) pray to the silicon gods it works
4) ??????
5) profit!

Actually I would recommend good old DVDs since I had problem with my usb as it made the last restart "stuck" untill I pulled it from the motherboard, but I assume that's because of my very very old motherboard... But yeah, that's how I did it
