Are you sure the CPU cooler is working? Is it over clocked at all?

lol I know the feeling with my old dell

What I'm thinking is the mobo isn't able to push out enough power to the card so it can even boot, it's recommended a 600w psu for that card. either the psu can supply enough for the mobo to power the card and it's self or that mobo can't power a card like that.

Do you have cosair link set up? If you don't set it up download the software and you can control it from there.

I would download a Anti-malware program such as malwarebytes, also try freeing up some space and downloading windirstat and see what is taking all the room up, I'm getting a little confused in your wording but if you also asking if it's normal for things to written to the hardrive while on google chrome maybe jut maybe a couple of KBs from cookies and such but nothing bigger than that.

I'm just Gona ask because I've seen the mistake made before: 1-Is the HDMI plugged into the GPU not onboard graphics 2-is the CPU/GPU usage going up while gaming 3-is the 1080 in a x16 PCiE slot?

If you read more than the first couple lines of that help page you'll see it troubleshoots for both 32 and 64 bit

Hey try checking this out https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/978610 it has to do with the different versions of 7 and how each service pack interacts with ram and what some of the issue might be with have ram that isn't usable

Your mobo support dual channel RAM?

Are you 100% sure your power consumption will go up 200watts? That's seems like a whole lot, I know this is kind of off subject by my 3440x1440 2x980ti's and a 6700k OC'Ed and I use right around 789-800watts

I remember on my Buddies computer it was doing the same thing it was some power saving mode in the bios, maybe it's the same thing?

You can do a restore if you can get into Windows, just type "reset" in the start menu and something along the lines of "Reset this PC" should come up. Then you can select a complete restore from within the options in windows 10 you can choose to keep the users files or delete them. I would try keeping the first but if you do it and it's still laggy, move her stuff to a external drive and do a complete reinstall, as for the key being in the bios if you want to be safe go to the control panel>system and security>system then at the bottom the computer key should be displayed under "windows activation"

Really need some more details if you want help, like what happenes exactly

I had a 8320 OC'd to stock 8350 speeds, made the jump to the 6700k just like your thinking about. It's a pain in the ass to switch mobos and coolers and re-run everything, but in games that only use 1or 2 cores(most games) the Intel blows the amd out the water. As for the gpu I would just wait for a good sale but the CPU is like night and day for gamming. (Btw I got a 4.6 OC on the 6700k makes it even better)

With g-sync monitor microstuttering isn't not really a problem I have the same monitor and run 2 980tis and have no issue
