So I just bought a thermaltake view 37 mid tower case and I put everything in, I tuned it on and the I had to change boot priority, after that it turned on great, I ran a benchmark and noticed it went up from 27 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius, then I ran squad to see it it would heat up abnormally but stayed in a good degree. Then 15 minutes later it shut off randomly, so I turned it back on and I noticed smoke coming from the south part of the mobo near the USB 3.0 and sata plugs, then my rgb started flickering then it just shut off.. I turned on the psu switch in the back and everything started up without pressing the power button on the case, but my GPU fans weren't spinning, and my pc wasen posting.. do I need to get a new GPU and mobo?
 
I think it's my graphics card. I smell burnt plastic on one side of the GPU fan but not the other.. and I tried putting my GPU in another PC I have and it wont turn on. Until I put back the working one and it turns on great.
