My specs :

CPU : Intel I5 6600k

screen artifacts normally means GPU uplorry liao. Try put into another confirm working PC. If still got artifacts then u can proceed to RMA ur gfx.

If another PC works fine, then have to slowly troubleshoot.

GPU problem. Try underclocking the GPU speed and see if the problem goes away. Otherwise, RMA or time for a new GPU.

Around $400-600

Also is there a need to upgrade the processors/mobo as well ?

I'm from the green camp, so any GTX1070 if u dun game at 4K. No need to upgrade mobo or processor
