First thing is back up your files (documents, pictures, music, etc.) so the partition is small enough for the SSD. Then clone it to the SSD.

The Sennheiser GAME ONE headset is not high-end, nor measured in a hi-fi rating, so the board is perfectly fine. Audio quality from motherboards are really good nowadays. You'll need a really high-end hifi set of cans to even notice the difference, and it does also depend on how good your...

For gaming, the difference between Windows 8 and Windows 10 is pretty insignificant until you compare games with DX12 support, then Windows 10 wins. Having said that, Windows 10 is more stable for me. However, if you're perfectly happy with Windows 8, feel free to stick with it (for now).

Yes; that will be fine.

Are you plugging the monitor into the GPU? Could be a driver issue. You can also try another output port.

1. If you mean "turn off or modify wireless settings", then some companies like Asus has a mobile app. This only works if you're connected within the network. 2. If you mean "power off the device", then you can hook it up to a smart home plug and use their app to cut power to the plug using your...

Yes; it's not something you have to worry about.

You CPU doesn't have hyper threading.

Isn't there some security concern in transferring the database data to a USB? The database being accessed remotely should be fine or through VPN. Provided there's enough RAM on the DB server and the tables are properly set up using proper indeces, the query time should be fine. You don't even...

What @Phaaze88 said. Your CPU is fine. Upgrading to a better i5 will only increase fps by a 2-3 fps. Upgrading to an i7 depends on the games and their use of more than 4 threads. Upgrading the CPU is not a worthwhile purchase.

I've never encountered a Motherboard and GPU compatibility issue, so if your motherboard has PCIe lanes, you should be good. And as long as you have a quality 450W+ PSU, you should be good to go.

That's not really the CPU's fault. Gaming on a 1080p monitor with a GTX 1080 is overkill. Any CPU you pick will bottleneck your GPU until you up the resolution.

Why do you need to upgrade the CPU? It's still a strong CPU. Did it die?

I prefer positive air pressure over negative air pressure because my case is cleaner that way. If you have good air flow, then I recommend positive air pressure. Otherwise, go with negative air pressure. It's important to know that positive air pressure does not necessarily imply good air flow...
