It's probably gonna cost you the same to send it back and get one that's compatible, or to take it to a shop and ask for them to flash it for you, If you can get a new one today or tomorrow then it's probably worth it to send the old one back.

Artifacts and lines do come from the GPU, it seems once you reach a certain temperature or frame rate or memory usage, artifacts show up, then the game gets a bit less demanding and they disappear. This could happen more and more in the future but this could also just be something related to...

This is actually a combination of both, IPS glow on the bottom and backlight bleed at the top. If it bothers you or if it's too apparent you can try to return it, but be aware that most TV/Monitors have some backlight bleed or ips glow.

Intel is the more reliable option and if you ever want to sell it it's gonna be easier, most consumers are not well versed on AMD processors.

Yes, the fans should turn off, there's usually an option for it in BIOS.

I'm not saying they weren't, but that alone doesn't mean they were ever installed, Regardless, GPU's don't boot for things that are much less serious than that, so it makes sense for them to boot if someone removed it or not installed the mosfets.

How fast is your SSD? because unless it's a really good one, it can't outperform USB 3.0.

I had an old HDD that performed just like that, even tho all sectors were still good, sometimes the disk is spinning at a lower speed than usual, so it still works but underperforms.

Don't worry, HDD's are almost bulletproof at this point and nowhere as fragile as people are led to believe. You'd have problems immediatly rather than damage something that wasn't even making contact with the needle.

Yeah, that's right. It still affect the cpu but it won't be borrowing any memory for its integrated graphics card.

How old is your HDD?

It could be either your memory stick or your HDD, you'll need to try both at another computer. This might be silly, but i had a similar problem once when i didn't plugged my psu power cord well enough.

Can you post a picture of inside your case? just so we can look if all the cables are properly connected. Put some pressure into all cables, make sure they are well plugged in.

Take your processor out of the socket and look if you didn't bent any pins.

Remember to unscrew your cpu fan case and remove all the dust inside it. Usually the temperature sensor is within your processor. Just an example.
