Hi there,
I build my new PC a month ago and today while I was running WoW the screen start getting pixalated real bad. I turned the game off and did a restart and the pixalation is still there. My buddy suggest that it could be my GPU has gone bad. I have an Asus GTX770. Here's a screenshot:

As you can see there's little flickers of pixels, kind of like a beat up movie screen sort of noise.
I tried running Unigine Valley at X9, seems fine, but it crashes on X11. I tried Unigine Heaven about 10 sec and the whole thing just crashed/froze. I had to end task and then got a nvidia driver crash error. Now when I try to run valley again on X9, everything's just messed (purple colouring, bad artifacts etc).
I re-seated my GPU, unplug/replugged in the power cables, tried a different PCI E slot on the mobo, the problem is still there.
I tried connecting the GPU to monitor using displayport (was using HDMI before), didn't solve the problem.
I tried connecting my pc to a different monitor, didn't do anything, noise/pixals are still there.
I'm just just about 2 weeks over my 30day warranty at NCIX so this is very worrying. Because I have heard Asus RMA is very very slow and I can't really go months without a graphic card, any suggestions on further trouble shotting on whether it's my GPU or something else? Help is appreciated!
ps my PSU is Corsair HX750 gold...I don't think the GPU's dry on power but then again not sure..
