Help me naow, or suffer God's wrathful noodle?

Help me naow, or suffer God's wrathful noodle?
The title got you here, admit it. Smile
Anyway, here's the issue.

I keep getting random 'static' or 'noise' on my monitor. Naturally, since it's a cheap monitor, I assumed it was the monitor. Instead, I think it may be more disappointing. You see, I installed my own PSU and video card both at the same time, and those were the first PC components I ever installed, so there's a high chance of error. I don't think the fault lies with the vga monitor because when I turn it off and then back on nothing changes, but tapping on the case of my PC clears the static temporarily. Sooo... ****. What loose cable should I be looking for? One from the PSU to somewhere, or the PCI-E connection, or what? No power cord connects to my GTX 460, that's apparently handled through the PCI-E 16x connection. Is it a failing video card, do you think? This really isn't an old one. Could it be because it's factory overclocked? I'm fumbling in the dark here, and I'd appreciate help.

Pray to your flying spaghetti monster for answers...

On topic though, I guess it is a dry join issue. Did you have something soldered recently?

Sorry, there were some inaccuracies. There are actually 2, 6-pin connectors on my graphics card. No, I haven't had anything soldered.
