Why would you need SAS controller? Are you going to use SAS HDDs? For SATA drives you do not need a SAS card. A regular SATA controller card will do everything you need. What for? Motherboard has integrated network card. Why would you need multiple network cards?

Your rear exhaust fan has died. Your pc doesn't have any intake fans. There's simply no airflow. Your pc case is not meant for gaming grade components. Can you show photo of your pc from front? You'd probably have to get a new modern pc case also - with mesh front and proper airflow.

Boot from windows installation media.

If you have killed the only HDMI-in port on your AIO pc, then you can't use it as monitor anymore. Not possible. Not going to work, no matter, what you do.
