It depends on whether you can wait until Q4, it will be awhile after the release before supply and prices stabilizes. You can always build a R5 2600 system now and then upgrade the cpu later.

well if your old GPU works with no problems, it would indicate that there is an issue with your 1080Ti or motherboard. Can you try the 1080 in a friends computer?

you would remove the top case fans and mount the radiator there. You could replace the h100 fans if you really wanted to, but I would use the cooler as designed first.

yes, if it contains win 7 drivers then you are in luck

just search on Amazon or ebay for "pcie sata controller card" for a cheap option Or if you want the genuine Dell card (should be bootable) PERC 6/i PCIe SAS/SATA/SSD hardware RAID card

you will probably need latest drivers for the onboard chipset before you can use ethernet and GPU. If you don't have windows 7 drivers, you should probably look at an upgrade to windows 10.

can you use an add in PCIe card (PCIe to Sata 3). You probably won't be able to boot from the card, but you can then use the ssd at SATA 3 interface speed. As a matter of interest what performance are you getting, what is your ssd model and capacity?

Any standard ATX PSU should fit, you will have 160mm clearance for the PSU

have you tried plugging it into a different port?

The problem may be with your case, it is not a function of the motherboard.

You will need to drill holes (probably at the back) for an exhaust fan (40mm - 60mm)

how high is your case?

If you have the money then perhaps you could look at an Intel NUC. looking at coolers, you probably need low profile like. Noctua NH-L9x65 Lower Profile Multi Socket CPU Cooler look for low profile GPU MSI GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 OC 2GB Low Profile

what if you remove your ssd and your hdd, wil it boot to BIOS then?

and confirm that it is the same as your friends BIOS version. I assume that his CPU works in your motherboard? Nothing strikes me as being obvious here.
