Recently transformed into a clueless nerd

What about it?

So I bought a 30L Omen that is referenced above, about 4 years ago. Casually gamed with little to no issue but obviously nothing to be wowed by. (There are some issues I will list below) However I didn’t know jack when I bought the Pc and just recently really started getting into coding/cyber security/hole network stuff. I want to start building shit to learn. So my questions are… RAM is obviously very very low and have had issues with games crashing like Escape from Tarkov. And the PC does get hot and relatively loud if playing a quick paced FPS game. Given my current hardware, should I begin replacing/updating or just build a new one all together? If you feel I should replace/update… What would you update first and why? I will possibly occasionally game in the future like EFT, FN, COD, and R6S but primarily be using the PC for home business/school/home lab cyber security practice shit. Thanks in advance for any input!!

Is my thin GPU going to cause me any trouble?

What about it?

I am going to assume this is going to sag intensely, the GPU is NOT as long as recommended (or required in the manual.) You can request further info in the comments and I will amend the post. PC Case: Lian Li O-11 Dynamic EVO Extensions were provided by the same company for the same case. GPU: Zotac Gaming RTX 3070 Ti Trinity OC

Is there an adapter I can use to power this?

What about it?

So I salvage this CD burner from an old Dell I was wondering if there is an adapter I can buy to power this I don't even know what type of connector that is to search for One (I know the one next to it is SATA) but is there for example is there an adapter that will adapt SATA power or molex to whatever this connector is?
