Purchase a few parts for the PC and got it working again. I also swap out the SSD and the secondary and install window 10.
However on the secondary drive is a (3TB HDD) I can only format 2TB. The rest is unalocated. I try to go to disc management and it shows about 700GB unalocated and I just can't format it. Any ideas why?

^^ Thanks I will give that a try when I am at home.
Might have to upgrade the GPU as well coz drivers from the manfacture aren't supported in Win 10......
Starting on a new build, finally going to replace my 2600K.
8700K from Intel Retail Edge.
Motherboard to be determined. Noctua NH-D15 cooler to replace my Corsair H100 AIO
RAM to be determined
Corsair 275R case in tempered glass/black
The rest is reusing stuff from my current rig.
980Ti
500GB Samsung 850 EVO
2x 3TB HDD

I'm also thinking of getting the 8700K, but not really sure paying $300 CAD after shipping is a big enough incentive for me to start a new build I don't need.

I've been experiencing more glitches with my system, and the on-board sound has crapped out... Justification enough I guess

Gotta get that legend status, free shipping.
Picked the 8700K and some 16gb of DDR4 ram from them. I really want to build something using a DAN Case or something similar.

Been an ongoing issue since early 2015 and I tried to RMA it but Gigabyte found no issue with it since it's not a constant problem.
Basically what happens is under load (aka gaming or watching a video in 1080P, even working in Excel full screen) there are a ton of artifacts that show up all over the screen. Most of the time when this happens, the game will crash with some kind of error.
This doesn't always happen though. I'll usually use Furmark and run a load test and if it runs fine, that means I'm good to go for gaming and I won't turn off my computer for awhile. If it's good, it'll stay good until the computer is turned off. Once the computer is off and then back on though, it'll start acting up again 7/10 times.
Obviously this has been pretty annoying. It's been nearly a week now and it still hasn't worked properly.
With all that said, does anyone have a spare GPU they can lend me for troubleshooting purposes? What's a decent video card nowadays that isn't massively overpriced? Computer is mainly used for light gaming (CS:GO, Sims 4 etc.), Youtube, and general browsing. Seeing as how when I built this computer the video card was already an old model, I don't really need the latest and greatest as it's served my needs fine when it was working.

GTX 1050/1050TI would be perfect.

Yeah, your GPU is failing. I had that problem with many older cards before. The last time I had a similar problem, it was a GTX 660. I overclocked it and ran it for many months without proper cooling...

The 1920x was on sale for $249 US on Amazon.com it sold out in a few hours. Too bad there are no cheap motherboards to go with it because that's a steal.
