Rebuilding a Broken Family PC - Want to Reuse Components
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
The PC is primarily used for paying bills, checking email, online shopping.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
Trying to spend at most $200
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
As soon as possible.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
Motherboard and/or CPU.
I believe either the CPU and or MOBO is dead. I recently got a new PSU and it appears to be working, but PC does not boot. I was looking into options of getting a new LGA 1150 mobo and seeing if that fixes the issue, then going about getting a new LGA 1150 CPU if that doesn't fix the issue. Given the age of build I think it might be better to just get both a new mobo & cpu though.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
Washington state, we have a Frys but I was expecting to just order the parts online.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Original build - want to reuse as many components as possible.
- Intel Core i3-4130 Haswell Dual-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 54W
- ASUS B85M-E/CSM LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

The PSU is dead, bought a 500w one as a replacement. I'm unable to diagnose the status of the ASUS motherboard or the CPU.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
No interest.
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
Just need to get it back to working condition.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
Already have a tower.
