the PCI-e gen1/gen2/gen3 are speed standards that PCI-e slots support, and if the cards supports said speed too (if not it will use lower because of backwards-compatibility), it means it can use the full potential of the speed the slot has to offer, and this only affects the speed of communication between the GPU and CPU. so the slot does not directly affect the clockspeed of the card, it merely affects the data the GPU can get from other components (which it will then have to process). so if data for procession cant be fed fast enough to your GPU, yes it shall be lacking in speed because it doesnt have enough data to saturate all its cores. and this can be seen as a bottleneck, but it will be a bottleneck originating from the rest of the system, and not the GPU.

yeah, GPU (PCI-e) does not rely upon CPU/Chipset, it merely depends upon the lowest PCI-e revision that your motherboard/GPU supports, and that only determines the speed that the card will run at. so as long as it has a compatible slot (which im sure it will have), yes, it will definitely be able to run that new of a GPU.

no, not if they are made to be compatible, though it will be an older motherboard probably
probably not, maybe looking for certain bios, but that is not guaranteed to fix it
that can greatly depend on which combination you make of CPU/Chipset. it should not affect performance greatly, but it can be designed for different power delivery for different architectures, therefore not really being capable of OverClock/VoltageControl to the degree that is generally found on compatible CPUs and their respecting Chipsets

and usually it is a good thing if the chipset was specifically made for that architecture the CPU is running

Maybe the school's firewall is now blocking all unauthenticated RDP connections?

yes, thats correct

cache of a cpu hold whatever the cpu is processing at the moment.
the cache of a ssd holds data that is moved around. ssds move data around to faster parts of the ssd to keep performance higher.
sshds move the data that is most used by the user to a ssd inside the sshd so that data can be accesed faster so applications the user uses alot will work faster than others
DRAM is not the cache of an sshd, it is the data that a cpu needs to access for the current application, but is not processing at the current moment.

by the way, i just looked it up. your case of choice supports up to 3 3,5 inch HDD bays and four 2,5 inch SSD

i would probably get the 1700 because of the multiple cores for streaming and editing. and it still performs well in gaming

to say more on this, i got an i5-750. and it can run photoshop fine as well

i think that difference will be very small
and i dont know if the very few fps are worth it

maybe a razer...
