    Computer idle RAM increasing and performance dropping like a brick

    ^ and if malwarebytes doesn't find anything you're probably looking at a fresh install of windows.

    Can 4k monitors convert to lower 1440p with 144hz?

    you might be able to get a huge overclock on that monitor because the pixelclock for 4k@60 is much high than 1440@60. however it is not guaranteed and might damage the panel. 144hz overclock is a little doubtfull if it's a 60hz panel.

    My first build: should I wait for the RX 480?

    the rx 480 will most likely be very very similar in performace to the r9 390(x) or the gtx 970. however the gtx 970 only has 4(3.5+0.5)gb gddr5 while the 390(x) draws a lot of power. the rx 480 doesn't share these negative aspects (go for the 8gb version ofcourse) so in my opinion it is worth...

    Is This My Best Bet?

    that looks like a beast laptop. maybe a little overkill for your current needs but that vanishes over the years as everything requires more powerfull hardware. also yes 200$ for such an upgrade is really good. i imagined they would ask more than that for just upgrading to a ssd.

    Very high Ping & Jitter on wireless connection (and whole home network)

    i guess if you don't have the tools to monitor bandwidth use of specific devices your only option is to find out which device is eating bandwidth by trial and error testing. starting off without any devices connected and adding each device one by one extensively testing the connection after...

    Is the GeForce GTX 1080 compatible with my system?

    also check the amount of ampere on the 12v rail. you can most likely find it on the side of your power supply unit. not sure how much a gtx 1080 needs but if you have the default 430w psu you're most likely not gonna cut it

    Gta V Minor frame drop.

    if i remember correctly things like ai are calculated by the cpu. your amd 8350 can't keep up due to the weaker core performance and you get some fps drops.

    700$ gaming pc?

    http://pcpartpicker.com/list/fdx48K although this one has a gtx 960 i do agree with the above. rx480 would be better.

    Contemplating large upgrade.

    maybe have a look at the 2011 socket chips if you're gonna be streaming and editing a lot on the same pc. Yes a regualr consumer i5 or i7 is slightly better for gaming but rendering is amazing on the intel extreme processors. maybe even slap some watercooling on it if you like experimenting...

    Minimum PSU 1080 SLI

    that's a quality psu should be more than enough as the 1080 tdp is 180 so 360 for 2 cards. a lot of headroom.

    Upgrade old system or buy new

    better graphics card is probably the least of your worries with a pc like that. an old harddrive could also be a limiting factor. Ram is probably the first thing to upgrade as it gets easily clogged by browsers like chrome, which use large amounts of ram. i recommend prioritizing ram and cpu if...
