i7-7700k, or maybe an 8th Gen i5/i7 if you can afford it

If you've got 800 Dollars, i'd salvage the GPU and Storage and go for a new build, you're basically as far as you can go on an AM3+ mobo. Although it looks like from the Above comments that you can pretty much get the build you wanted anyway for that cash

Well, using Fortnite as a base then, recommended specs is an i5 2.8ghz, so say for example an i5-6400 clocked at 2.7ghz, the Ryzen 2200g outperforms the i5 accoring to UserBenchmark. No idea what sort of frames you'll be looking at exactly, but there are some vids on youtube of your build, and...

Really? pretty good considering what you got for it, I'd complete the build, try and sell it on as a low/mid range Gaming PC on Ebay or something, then use that money to upgrade your own PC! I'm sure plenty of people will pay 200+ for that PC if you put it all together, because it's still more...

Ah Bro, that's not good, if you can get hold of another PC, maybe test each part one by one, if you're lucky the damage didn't extend further than the Mobo. Definitely sounds like your Motherboard is toast at the very least though.

How much did you get it for? If you can afford it, get a new CPU and Mobo, i5-8400 is very reasonable, best price/performance ratio. Or it certainly was when I bought it, not sure about now the Ryzens may have dropped in price. i've only got a 1050 ti but Apex seems to get along just fine with it.

There's no other way to put it.. you need a new Battery. Have you had it, just under a year? Maybe you could get a replacement on Warranty? it shouldn't have gone that quick!

What can I say, most pre-builds of that price are a waste of money, they're all a Con.

Pretty good for what you need it for, aslong as it is just ''light gaming'' I'd probably swap out the HDD for an SSD, or maybe just add a 240GB SSD if you've got the cash for your OS and any games, the prices have dropped a lot in recent times, and it will make all sorts of difference.

Just find the games you play, have a look at the recommended specs for those games and use that as a guide, then browse around pre-builds. I will say though, I know you don't want to build a PC, but you'll get so much more for your money, and you can personalise it to work for you. These...

That's a nice Build, Jeez. Does it not display at all, even without the GPU in then? I remember when this happened to me, it was a while ago and it was because I forgot to put the Risers under the Mobo when I screwed it in, and it was just shorting every time I booted. Soon as I took it back...
