Never heard of an i7-4970K. Do you mean an i7-4790K? Also, I wouldn't go with an OCZ SSD. They aren't really good anymore. Maybe try a Samsung 840 EVO or a Crucial M500 SSD

Thanks alot, I'll edit the wrong CPU in :)

 

The SSD is very old, and I'm due to upgrading it.

 

But it still runs perfectly at 500*500MB/s when doing tests on it even after 3 years.

 

 

Should I upgrade my Powersupply tho?

 

If I choose to go to an 770/970GTX

Since I first began in 2012, I've swapped every old part out except the Memory and PSU.

Why would you need to upgrade a 280x?

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

I'm constantly having issues with it, such as when watching movies, Youtube, Twitch and such.

 

The screen crashes, displaying weird lines of all colors.

 

A reboot solves this.

 

I've tried installing multiple different drivers, reinstalling windows twice.

 

Nothing seems to work.

Try a PNY Optima but it's up to 480GB. You might try a Crucial M500, or a Samsung 840 EVO. Really the only brands I would trust.

They're decent in Raid 0.
