Is it worth switching over to a full Linux based system?

I've been working on rebuilding my desktop since it fried multiple parts a little over a month ago. I finally got it to a part where something would happen, and started to reinstall windows 10 onto my SSD. Except that didn't work, so I tried on my HDD. It continued, but the keyboard wasn't working (happened first time I installed Windows 10), then crashed while updating drivers and windows. Nearly every time I get something related to windows happening, the computer does not work with what I'm telling it to do. So at this point, I'm considering a Linux OS, as that might clear some of the problems I've had with Windows.
Also, I'm about ready to give up on this computer. I'm usually a patient person, but over a month and no progress has been made is really getting on my nerves. I've had help from a few people in the community (Tzket and Zethy primarily), and they helped me with some of the more finding what hardware is bad, and getting past a few of them, but I think this might just be Windows refusing to work for me.
The parts I have replaced include: Motherboard (Currently: ASUS ROG Crosshair Hero VI), CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-core), and HDD.
