I ended up with CPU-Z and not GPU-Z - since corrected, now I have both.
Oddly, things were looking good - only a couple of Display Driver Crashes that didn't require a reset.
Then, before answering this, I got two BSoD lockups that required a reset.

One other thing - it looks like my BIOS got reset back to 1101 - As I recall, it should be 1104.
I'll have to check into this a little more to see what happened.

You should search for used new components as i7-2600K.i7-3770K some used Z68/Z77mobo and graphic card as GTX760/770.
GTX780 could be found for 120-150$ on Ebay.
First investment should be CPU and Mobo because Internal GPU could serve you until buy new graphic card.

Yes, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to upgrade to new MB, CPU, and RAM.
Problem is I'm on a pretty limited income, so it may take me a while to save up for what I need.
I'm hoping that the used Q6600 CPU I have will work and I can keep this system running until I can afford the new parts.
If need be, I can probably buy a used Q6600 or similar LGA 775 CPU for a pretty low figure.
 
Either way, that should give me ample time to research and save up for a good combination of parts.
At this point, I'm ball parking a rough figure of $600 - $800 for the 3 main items.
 
As for the items you listed, I'll take a look around and see what is available - depending on price, that may be a good option to keep me going.
 
Thanks for the suggestion!
 
PS: Anyone know how long Thermal Compound is good for?  I might have a tube that I got shortly after I put my system together in 2007. I bought a new CPU Cooler, but couldn't use it as the CPU I had came with a heat sync  installed from Intel and it was glued on. I'll have to rummage through the closets and see if I can locate it. I might even be able to install the mega-cooler now!
 
 

Found the CPU Cooler - it's a Zipang unit - no model number, but works for LGA 775 and several others.
Looks like the Thermal Compound is toast. It was in a plastic bag and looks to have dried out to the point that I can't move it around in the bag.
The cooler itself is a beast! it weighs 815 grams. It's heavy enough that it probably should have some support to keep it from flexing the MB.
Also found another LGA 775 CPU - E8400 3.00GHz Core2 Duo. Faster, but only 2 cores - any port in a storm... This one, I'm pretty sure is working.
It came out of my ex's P5Q Pro system. Only problem with that one was some wires for the buttons got shorted out. I think the MB and the CPU should be in good shape, but the Antec case is toast as I do not feel like rewiring the power & reset buttons.
 

 

For 600-800$ you can buy best platform at the moment.
You can buy i7-6700K-Z170 Classified-K and 16GB DDR4 for 600$.
For 800$ you can buy X99, or even cheaper version of X99 for less.

That sounds great, but I suspect you are talking US$ - I live in Vancouver, Canada, so Can$.
Perhaps you could provide a link?
Luckily, we have some of the best prices in the country here as it is computer retail & warehouse central.
My plan is to save up until I can buy the MB, CPU and RAM in one go. That way I don't have things sitting in a closet while the technology advances.
 
I sure wish that DDR2 was still the standard for high-power systems - I just found another 4GBs of OCZ PC2 8500 Platinum DDR2...

 "BIOS dance" complete ?

Hey, no problem - I got it figured out when you posted the screen shots.
 
Oops - Got my own oops here - looks like 1101 is the newest BIOS for the P5K motherboard - don't know where I got 1104 from - unless I was thinking of 404.
 
Still getting BSoD crashes like before...
 
As soon as I can get a tube of Thermal Compound I'm going to swap in the other CPU, hopefully that will work - I've got 2 chances at finding a working CPU before I have to spend money on a new one.
 
 

Let us know how to cpu swap goes.
