I recently built the following system:

The system works great, however I've been experiencing the dreaded BSOD

These are the report files I was directed to collect.

I am suspicious that the culprit is the SSD I am using for the OS. I got it from a friend, but the SATA cable is a bit loose. After experiencing the BSOD, the second time, I taped the cable into place hoping to solve the problem. I'm not sure if it has worked.

Keep in mind that just because a part is new that doesn't mean that your components are 100%. If you can I would run a stress test like memtestx86 or if you can boot into your OS with some form of stability run a program like prime95. These tests will not only ensure that your system is functioning correctly they will also help stress the system and if anything fails now would be the time for that to occur.

Also probably better to just get a new SATA cable. They are really cheap.

The only thing we have to fear is... Stupidity...

You should always stress test a new build. You have no idea if it works properly or if it's all compatible.

You don't know who built the components or how long they have been sitting on a shelf and even in what conditions.

It's not a race to the bottom.
