The CPU is going to bottleneck your GPUs performance. Those games would likely rely on the CPU to push the graphics potential. You can try increasing the graphics settings and see what the results are for yourself

What audio output device is currently selected? Did the interface work when you were using it for playback? The interface would essentially become the audio playback device, so if you aren't using it then windows may need you to revert back to the realtek speaker device prior to playback

Can you access the SSD via explorer when you boot from your older HDD? That would be the easiest way to transfer the data from that drive. If you cannot see the SSD in explorer then I doubt that recovery software would be able to read the drive

Hi, can you see the drive in the BIOS? If not, perhaps swap out your main ssd for the new one, just to see of the drive appears. How many other devices do you have? Ie. GPU, expansion cards? What motherboard is in the system? Did you buy the system brand new?

Hi, I would probably purchase a bridging router and run the VPN from that. This will encrypt all devices connected to the router. Simplicity is key. Check out Nords articles- Nord VPN router setup: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047409322/Setting-up-a-router-with-NordVPN.htm...

You reinstalled Windows and at the same time obviously re-formatted your OS drive? It's highly unlikely that you will be able to recover the data yourself, especially if you've already tried the recovery software that you have.

Have you ensured to update all of your system's drivers? Depending on what OS you upgraded from, you'll likely need to install all of the latest drivers for your Motherboard for Windows 10. You should start by flashing your BIOS to the latest version, if you haven't already. The BIOS update and...

Hi, This issue could be caused by a number of things, there are alot of variables. In my experience, sometimes external devices such as External HDD's, certain peripherals etc. can cause boot loops due to intermittent faults hardware or software wise within that device. Do you have any other...

According to your link, this 'Sparkle' GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS released in 2007. While it is a PCI-E x16 card, it's probably faulty, or the PCI-E slot in your Motherboard is faulty, or both. Old hardware will always present issues.

Have you tried re-enabling the network connection adapter in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections?

$6000?? Why not post the models of keyboard&mouse that you're interested in for starters, and maybe the models of peripherals that you're replacing.

All the devices you've just listed are essentially a set top box; you could use any of them as your digital TV receiver. If you want to have TV channels on all devices then you could run a passthru to each device, but it's not necessary. For simplicity; just use the TV's coax in and if you want...
