Update: Bad news, I redid the thermal paste on GPU and CPU and still having the crashes.

Good news, I got my tax refund and the OK from my partner to up the budget so I have put together another proposed build with a few comments from my post last week in mind as well as a higher budget.

I like ASUS and it has done me well so I changed the MoBo to another ASUS and changed the GPU and CPU to ones suggested in the comments.

Please let me know what you think of this new proposed build. I figured I would just start fresh with everything new as I really don't know why the system is crashing. It already crashed once just while making this post. I'll only put in my old hard drives for access to all my media files.

When I tried my old case with this build but it didn't show as being compatible. lt was the CPU cooler that had a compatibility issue. If I stick with a single fan CPU cooler then I can use my old case(which is odd because I have a space on the top of the case for a double fan cooler.

That keeps it the same price but with the bigger GPU. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/x3KQWc (with my old case but the bigger GPU and a new CPU cooler)
