Hi ZephyrCorsair, Welcome to PCHF! 
As JM stated above, the next component to swap and test with would be the power supply. Your current one definitely does not look like a quality unit so if your memory checks out and there are no issues with the RAM then I would swap out the power supply with this one, CORSAIR RMi Series RM650i 650W 80 PLUS GOLD Haswell Ready Full Modular ATX12V & EPS12V SLI and Crossfire Ready Power Supply with C-Link Monitoring and Control.
Also I wanted to ask, are you overclocking any components? If so then reset the clocks back to defaults. You might try resetting your motherboard BIOS settings back to default values as well.
Since you have cleaned out the computer from dust and other debris, have you looked on the motherboard to see if you have any bulging or leaking capacitors?

Also, a thing I forgot to mention is that sometimes, but it does happen, and it happened a short while ago, is that I get 'red screens of death', an empty screen, only the color red on it.
That narrows it down to one item and one item only: your graphics card.
A RSOD (Red Screen of Death) only occurs when a serious issue occurs with the graphics card. Therefore you need to take a hard look at your graphics card and PSU.
A RSOD occurs when either insufficient power is received and the graphics card just can't work or it's starting to fail. If you have a spare graphics card, swap it out and see if you continue to get BSODs/RSODs. If you do, then your PSU is faulty.

Wait, so if it DOES work when I swap my graphics card then my PSU is faulty? Don't you mean the graphics card?
If you swap out your graphics card and you continue to receive BSODs/RSODs, then your PSU is faulty.
I wish I had, but my computer still hasn't crashed since last and I haven't had the opportunity to switch PSU or graphics card yet.
Still the same situation. It will be difficult to figure out why I was crashing when I've stopped crashing.
Ok...i'll mark this as solved then. If you anymore issues with the bsod's on this pc, you can have this thread re-opened..
