Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Got an Asus X99 Deluxe that I got back from Asus for a dead RMA I sent in.
Tested to make sure it worked but stayed with an X99 Deluxe II that I bought waiting on the RMA.
Let me know!
SATA 2TB

Don't know if it would work in your application, but I have an old High-Point PCI AIC that is ATA 66/133 and is capable of using with an IDE CD-Rom.
Free if you pay the shipping!
I've had great experience with WD Golds. 20 plus in the last 5 years with zero failures! 5 year warranty & a few bucks less than Blacks for some reason.
I have heard that WD is going to discontinue them and replace with Hitachi branded enterprise Helium drives.
Appears as though you have bad memory slots but could be the memory controller in the CPU also. You should run Memtest with the pairs to verify that the memory is in fact good!
I second the choice of the Fractal R6 but would go with the silent Edition. Solid side panels with sound deadening material through out, capable of a massive number of drives. Also agree with the 970 EVO as your boot disc. For storage a 2TB WD Gold is only $113.
I would stay with the 850 PSU...
