Yes, your old system will support the new gpu. Your psu has 4 6+2 connectors, which can be used for the 2 8 pin connections on the gpu.

Best to get an i5 and invest in a really good gpu

sounds like it probably is your psu, but could also be the gpu.

With freesync on, the game will look a lot smoother in the 30-60fps range, since the monitor will update everytime the gpu renders each frame.

Yes, you can check the power-on time and power-on count with simple software, like speccy. though im not 100% sure about total data written to it.

Your mobo is fine, though a newer Z series board would overclock better, but it wouldnt really be worth it. a SSD would be the single best upgrade, but other than that, I would just save up for a new build.

Id go for the r7 1700 with the 1080 Ti

yeah, it may be because the ram itself is fine, but the cpu doesnt like it when they are both stressed. Ive had a very similar issue i solved by turning the ram down from 2133 to 1866.

They are typically cheaper, and thus lower quality, and if you can, id get a more reputable brand like msi, asus, sapphire, gigabyte, or xfx.

try lowing the ram speed anyways, either to 1600, 1333, or even 1066 just to confirm it isnt the issue.

A very long time, atleast 3-4 years untill you might want a new gpu.
