I put a thread up a couple months ago of how the graphics on my games suck, and obviously shouldnt, and also there is an awkward haze given off by my monitor, which is also brand new and came around when i got the computer. Everyone on that thread told me its most likely the power supply. I replaced it, and nothing happened. I really want this computer to look good before SWTOR comes out and im kinda feeling like theres no hope for this hunk of metal. Any assistance is once again appreciated greatly, ive tried a million troubleshooting methods and willing to try more.

Can you post some pictures of what you are seeing?
Send it back to the company to be fixed. It should be under warranty.
The power supply is a waste of time, that would not be the issue. Couple questions:
Are you using the same cable you had with your previous computer?
You converting it from DVI to VGA with an adapter?
Do you have the video card from your previous computer laying around to use for troubleshooting?
It could be a bad pin-out on the video card that is causing the odd hue. If you're using an adapter, try to switch the adater or use a straight through cable, DVI to DVI if possible.
If you have the old video card from your previous computer, I would swap them out to test. My educated guess it's a defective video card.
Also if you can switch video cards and it's still has a odd hue, take your computer to a friends house and hook it up to their monitor, if you dont have a spare to rule that out as well... It might be coincidental, but I have seen monitors act up when something has been changed to the setup.
A couple things i didnt mention, i had already sent the video card in for repair, came back same issue, and im running this on the HD input of my monitor [ which is hd], and its a new cable.

HDMI? DVI? DisplayPort?
I don't know what an HD input is.
I agree with this post. Especially checking out the monitor on a friend's computer. Except the part about the power supply: that was a good idea, but not because it would do anything to fix the video issue.
My recommendation would be to send it back for repair/replacement as soon as possible. You don't want to keep fiddling with it until its too late, then you won't be in for the start of SWTOR which you seem to really want. Send it now, get it over with and get ready.

send it back for your money and we will help you build you one. this way you wont get ripped off.
My brother's computer recently had a problem where it was not giving output to the monitor. It would turn on, but nothing would show on the screen. I though I tried everything; swapped cards, monitors, cables, switched between the output ports on the card, but nothing worked. So I took it to a pc repair shop, and they figured out that the problem was acually just a bad memory stick. They took it out and the computer was working fine again.
I don't know if this could be a solution to your problem, but I think its worth a shot. Just test the pc with one mem stick at a time. Test them in different slots too, to make sure that slots aren't the problem.
lol yAa..
GTX560Ti + 2600k = GTX570+2500k, thus equalling 10-15% more gaming performance for the same $$ pretty much.
