I would highly recommend spending a few extra bucks and replace all of your case cooling fans as well, and since the cpu died, replace the power supply. don't even think about reusing the old one, it may have been complicit in its death unless the cpu fan quit and took it out... but even still, psu's are a cheap insurance.Well I pushed out the rebuild as far I could and the CPU died. The new parts will be delivered today so I will be up and running tonight at some point.
New parts:
ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Pro (wi-fi) motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5800X CPU 8 core 16 thread
G.Skill Ripjaws V series (F4-3600C16D-GVKC) 2X8GB dimms =16GB @3600 spd
CoolerMaster AIO cpu cooler
The rest I will be reusing to keep costs down for now plus GPU prices are doubled from what the msrp is so I'm holding off on a new gpu.
