Eh, i need to get a new case because the fan of the case (which came with it, already attached) makes a ticking noise as it hits the case somewhere >.<

Uh, i also have a little issue. I have the feeling I can't run anything that requires OpenGL

The easy way to test if you have opengl acceleration is to use the glx programs in mesa.

So,  sudo pacman -S mesa.

glxinfo | grep rendering

That should give you a line that says either yes or no. Yes means you have some form of opengl acceleration.

mesa is a third-party driver, though, and i have now the AMD drivers (with direct rendering yes, so with opengl) which are supposivley better than the open source ones.

Gallium 3D is the driver. Mesa is the libgl and the tools. You can use the Mesa tools without the rest though.
Also each driver has its advantages.

KDE has it's own tool for OpenGL diagnostics: "kcmshell4 opengl".
And just to remind you: Did you update your BIOS yet?

Can't you install mesa w/o mesa-libgl ? It's not in the dependence list.
Also, Mupen64plus is an N64 emu.

Just go into the "GIGABYTE 3D BIOS" and select Q-Flash. You need to download the BIOS update, extract the .exe with wine and copy the image onto a FAT32-formatted floppy or USB drive.

Just noticed that it says at the top "UEFI Dual BIOS", lol, so I am not going to update the BIOS as they say it is risky and you shall only do so if the bios isn't working correctly.

Also, just noticed it has a ultra-fast boot option, lol
