Interesting project you got there, and yes your mostly right. Except it helps modded servers.

I think the GPU will bottleneck on the RAM. I would reccomend switching to 16GB

SATA data cables

@LinusTech Do it! Just Do it!

Your solution here is to keep using it. :3

yes it would

Remember, you will only get 4 PCI lanes, thats not a lot. Not recommended for anything more than a 1070 probably.

Check out StarTech.com

YES

Expect a laptop to cost twice as much as any PC with the same specs.

@onivDon't forget, if it works mark as solution.

Is power wash a chrome book term for something??

Its a chromebook, TL;DR much?

lol, anyways recommend following that guide on reinstalling ChromeOS. Though it could be a driver issue which only Google/HP can update.
Another reason to hate on Chromebooks.

Follow this guide, backup all data before use!

For sure, besides if you have enough money to get a 1070 just get a used i7 7700 or 8700 from ebay?

Might as well wing it, bought a nice re-paste kit. Why the hell not...  YOLO

Pulled the trigger...

I recommend for budget to go with the i7-7700 but if you have a hole in your pocket reach for the i7-8700K if you can.

You may need one of these to reach it tough. Pretty expensive...
 

Actually, the vacuum it's self wont cause damage. It's when you touch the vacuum tip on stuff. So using just the tip does'nt help...

Technically, a plastic vacuum cleaner nozzle may charge with static electricity through friction with the incoming air. In turn, said static electricity could get discharged on a component, provided there is no grounding on the nozzle, and there is grounding on the PC.
For what it's worth, I've used vacuums and compressors on PCs, without issues.
 
Read the BSOD carefully, to see what is the source of the failure.
It's free  Re-seat your dimms if there are indications that it can be memory related.
Avoid panic and think logically. Before doing anything, think what it does and what the root of the problem should be for that to make any sense. Then consider whether it is plausible for that to be the actual source of the problem. Don't start doing things randomly and nuke everything for no good reason, or you may face inexplicable problems down the line once you solve the original one.
 
First thing to do then is to backup all those precious files as long as the computer work. If you have another computer or know someonw with a desktop computer, you can always take your hard drive there to check if it works, and make copies of everything that matters.

A vacuum cleaner nozzle is static, and static discharge likes to kill anything with a PCB, like motherboards, harddrives, video cards etc.
