Hey there so this is the run down, I work for a software company where we develop CAD-based programs for Civil Engineers and Crime Scene Investigators/Reconstructionists. I was given an older custom gaming system by my boss as it stopped working for him. I did some diagnosing and the issue has to do with either the CPU or the Motherboard. But the Power Supply, Case, and 1TB SSD are all good. I want to salvage as much as I can So I can put the money into a GPU.
