Current desktop
I7 3930k
32gb ram
Bunch of small (128-512gb) ssds
Gtx 1060 (recently upgraded so I can use a 4k display)

Motherboard doesn't recognize 2 of the ram slots so only 24gb shows up, and half the USB ports don't work... they've been dying here and there over the years... and sometimes computer won't post past bios but if I restart then it's fine
other than that no other issues

Should I build a new rig? I don't really need a new one but the issues listed above get annoying sometimes and the system is 6 years old
