    Looking for a new graphics card at 1080p

    A GTX 1060 or RX 480 is a better bet for very solid framerates @ 1080p and high settings. A GTX 1050, 1050 TI or RX 470 would be ok, but below that you might not feel like the upgrade is worth it.

    5-20 FPS on Borderlands 2 after upgrade to GTX 1060

    Totally remove the Nvidia drivers from your system, restart and reinstall them.

    2 Windows 10 PCs with "up to date" graphics divers, but one is a lower version?

    If video cards use the same driver but have different chipsets this is quite common. Not all driver versions are distributed to all GPUs.

    PCIe internal USB 3.0 + internal SATA 3

    No, you won't find that. You might want to consider buying a higher-end motherboard that's compatible with your current CPU and RAM. That's the best way to get more USB and SATA ports. You can do this even if you have an older CPU by looking on eBay.

    Gtx 1070 FE normal idle temps

    Idle temps are largely irrelevant. Your GPU could be 60C all day every day for 10 years and it wouldn't affect your performance or wear your card prematurely. At one point, not long ago, video cards ran at full speed all the time your computer was running.

    A bit disappointed with i5-6500

    World of Tanks is mostly just a really badly written game, I wouldn't use it as a benchmark of overall performance. But even in other games, I wouldn't expect a big FPS increase from a new CPU, you're still got your 5 year old low-midrange GPU. And the GPU is the most important component when it...

    Corsair H110i or NZXT X61?

    Be aware when reading reviews that the Corsair H110i, H110i GT, H110i GTX and H110i V2 all exist and are slightly different. I don't think there is a huge issue with any of them but there are differences. I have an H110i GT and it's working well. I'd personally recommend the Corsair because...

    Win 10 re-install COA won't validate

    You might have to call Microsoft's licensing people.

    Am I bottlenecking my computer?

    If I were you, I'd see if I could get a compatible i5 quad core like an i5-2500 or i5-2400. You can find them pretty reasonably priced on eBay. Don't bother with a -K series processor because you can't overclock on a Dell motherboard anyway.

    No Sound On Windows 10

    Is your monitor connected with HDMI or Displayport? If it's any other connector they don't support sound so you'd have to use an analogue sound cable as well as the video cable. Also, most monitors don't have speakers so make sure yours does.
