Don't invest more into Ivy Bridge. IIRC, the *820 CPUs before Broadwell-E were quad cores. Depending on what you do, the 8700K, 1700, or 7820X would be nice upgrades. 

You live in Oslo, but have a budget in USD? I'd I read that right, you have a $1700 budget for the motherboard, and a $1700 budget for the GPU?

Imo, the local currency is always preferred, as component pricing varies by region. 

For ~13000 nok, you could get a 7820X and platform with 16/32GB RAM, if you want that. 

What's your use case for the PC?

Then you should just stick with what you have, unless you need more power. If it's just for gaming, the CPU is fine, and just get a 1060 6GB.

We have a bunch of consumer rights in Norway, so the store would have to replace any broken part the first 5 years after they've sold it to you.

Hard lock as in Steam completely crashes during games? Might be an unstable overclock

Try running Prime95 for ~30 minutes, and monitor the temps with something. If it crashes, it'll be repeatable, and you should be able to send the PC in for repairs. 

Do i just double click it and let it be for 30 mins?
