Should I buy this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQX5692/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_1_w I was gunna upgrade it with the GTX 480 Powercolor KKK edition.

Too little RAM, ARK Servers like to use 10GB. I would recommend 32 or just a separate PC running ARK....

This avoidance of ban will result in an IP BAN RIP

Size? 250GB, 500GB, or 1TB??

The last thing I can think of is rebuilding the MBR if this PC uses MBR. Wouldn't work on GPT, but 95% of people don't have a copy of DOS or a floppy disk drive now, do we? By the way, how old, what size, and what brand is the HDD??

Is he booting SCSI, IDE, or RAID? that could be an issue.

The SATA controller is linked to the code from an issue I had years ago..

Are you kidding me? No you can't!!

If that was the HDD, the S.M.A.R.T. disk check would tell him that the Disk Check failed.

That's not the HDD, if it is I/O related, it might mean a bad SATA controller on the mobo..

Sorry for quoting twice, but this looks to be a SATA controller issue from my past experiences..

WAIT, IT'S A SATA CONTROLLER!!!

This i7 overclock is just fine, actually it is an underclock in my mind from 2.4GHz to 1.45GHz. If you have anything to say to help me with my GPU issue, say so. If not, leave because Core i7's run fine at 1.4 GHz..
