Hello,

My mother board seems to have died. I went and got a new 600 W PSU because the PSU went out as well. The PC will not power on even with the new PC. So I believe I need a new mother board + Processor + Ram. I will still use my case, graphics card, HDD, Monitor, and the new PSU.

I'd like to have a build as good as what I had or better, but want to stay under $350. My build is

Intel Core i5 3470
MSI B75MA-P45
Corsair XMS3 2x4GB DDR3 1333 kit
Lite-On IHAS124-04 SATA DVD burner
NZXT Source 210 Elite
Themaltake TR2 600w PSU
Asus VE247H (23.6 inch, 1920x1080, 2ms response time, LED backlighting, built-in speakers, TN panel) monitor.
Radeon HD6850 graphics card.

I tried pulling the ram out one stick at a time and still could not get it to power on. I just purchased the PSU today from bestbuy. The only thing I can think of at this point is the Mother board has died.

I'm happy with the performance I was getting from that build, some games had a little bit of slow down. But, overall I was pretty happy with it. I want to use the parts I know are reusable, and the ones that most likely are. I doubt the graphics card, and hdd are dead. I just want the performance to stay the same, but if I can get a bit of an upgrade somewhere and stay in budget that's great.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks horrorshow,

So the RAM and CPU are most likely safe? I wasn't sure if the CPU would survive because the PSU went out, and a replacement PSU isn't working so I thought maybe something burned out ( I see no charred components, or circuit board). And with that I thought it would most likely kill the CPU as well.

I checked out the graphics card it looks like a bit of an upgrade compared to what I have.

Thanks again for the help.
 
CPU and RAM should be fine.

That video card I linked is more than twice as fast as your 6850.
