    That's quite on the cards,Nev.
    On this computer my Mobo has a digital error number which is quite handy pin pointing issues.

    Good point Dougie when Cpu is blown vs new out of the box failure, there would be a siren like effect from the bios resembling a beep pattern.
    "Continuous H-Lo Beeps (Sounds Like a Siren):
    • Computer Processor Unit is over heating or heated. Turn system off immediately. Check thermal compound between CPU and heat-sink, apply new if needed. Check the fan on the heat-sink to be sure it is spinning. This can be done after the computer has cooled down for at least 30 minutes. Briefly turn system on, and see if the fan is running and then turn it back off."

    I think Nev nailed it it is the psu that also blew out the motherboard.

    CPU's very rarely fail. GPU's do of course but not so rare. Power supplies fail at a higher rate. Motherboard failure is slightly more than GPU. Interesting thread. I will keep my eyes on this one and hope the original poster gets a solution up and running.

    Personally I would bring the computer home. First buy a Motherboard, and then try to boot with the old GPU and CPU.
    One thing at a time. I can't see how he could say the CPU is blown and how could he test it if it won't boot.
    You have the Case and new PSU. You would find replacement parts reasonable if you look around.

    Dougie raises a good point though. Although if he has a bench unit to test on he cold theoretically test all 3 items individually and most older shops do. Either way you learn a lesson here you should never forget because there is no doubt in my mind the poor quality psu caused all this and the fact the tech doesn't know that makes me want to use Dougie's path. Buy a good quality motherboard like Gigabyte, Msi or AS Rock and see if the cpu and/or video card will work. If it doesn't then replace both. Having a decent psu, case and motherboard make the rest much easier.

    Your hardware is new enough that you should not have issues replacing what you need to and still have a leading edge computer. If you buy a pre-built you will no doubt will end up with a useless psu and some 2nd rate hardware as that is the reason most of use here build to begin with. And we will gladly assist you if you show us your choices for each part as we go forward.
