Adding case fans won't affect your PSU, one case fan has power consumpion of 5 watts. Applying new thermal paste can also help temperatures.

Buying more RAM is much more worth. You can also add one 8 gb stick, if it has the same timings and frequency. It will be a bit slower than having two 4 gb sticks, but cheaper and you can upgrade to more RAM later.

Yes, you can. Your specs are better than minimum requirements.

First of all, will your warranty be voided if you open the case? The overheating can be caused by not having any fans on case or only one and by having stock cooler, which is highly possible on OEM machine. But if you cannot open the case, you will have a problem with solving this.

It differs on what you use your computer. If you play games, difference between 2400 mhz and 3200 mhz is 5 fps, but if you render videos, it is difference in minutes, which you will notice. I do not think you render videos on 8 gigs of ram though.

Wait until new i3 processors release or go with Ryzen 3, they both cost 20-30 dollars more than Pentium G4560 and are much better. It will be best to last you as long as possible.

You can't use previous RAM, because you now use DDR3 and every new CPU is compatible only with DDR4. Also, i3 will not demolish the Ryzen 3, if the Ryzen 3 will be overclocked, they will work pretty much the same. And Pentium will not outperform Ryzen 3 in games, maybe in games that use...

Then you should really get the Ryzen. It will help the performance much more than new FM2+ processor. Also, at the end of the year there will be an Core i5 8th generation that may offer more power than Ryzen. But anyways, what is your current motherboard and processor? You may be able to...

Do you use the integrated graphics or do you have a discrete one? What motherboard do you use? Do you use the stock cooler now? How large is your budget?

What is your motherboard, current processor and amount of RAM? Also, what do you want to do with your PC?

I think you want to do in future some SLI with 1080 ti and you want to overclock your processor, so I recommend getting Ryzen 7 1700 for your build with beefy air cooler, or water cooler and 16 GB of high-speed RAM: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rMHbM8 If you don't want to SLI, MSI B350 PC MATE...

It will create huge bottleneck, for i7 3770 you can get maximally 1070, but there will be still noticeable bottleneck on CPU-intensive games like BF1 or GTA 5. So the best you can get to be completely bottleneck-free is GTX 1060 or RX 580. If you still rather get the 1070 over these two, be at...

The most demanding games you can really play is Minecraft or Roblox, you can't go any higher. You can maybe upgrade your CPU, Core 2 Quad processors are really cheap right now, but I need to know what model your motherboard is. Also, getting more RAM will help the performance too, but DDR2 RAM...
