My ongoing shit storm of system disaster can be seen here:

TL;DR:

Replaced PSU and Motherboard, both didn't work. Quite likely the CPU is busted.
Also CPU was a 2nd hand ES, so no way to call up Intel for replace it.
And yeah, I don't have a large disposable income as of now.

Worst, a lot of my work depends on the workstation and I am already behind.

I am not sure whether I should stick onto this X99 platform and get another used Intel CPU, or just say FUCK it and go for an entire new platform.

I do a large amount of bioinformatics so I definitely need high core count platforms.

Also I will only be needing a CPU and motherboard. I have everything else.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Ram if you move to Ryzen or X299... its DDR4. Which with your budget and need for cores/threads is where i would go (AMD).
