Ok, so this is what I know. I woke up to my GPU reving 100% and no output on the screen. I opened up my case and saw that (i guess) some seal on the cpu's cooling had broken. I took the upper GPU out and i poured a good amount of liquid out of it. It's 100% dead. Next i hoped nothing else had broken, I took out the CPU cooler not to make it any worse, and put the 2nd card in the primary slot just to see if all that was needed was a new cpu cooler. Same thing happened, so I took an old 5870 I had laying around. Same thing again. So the motherboard needs to be replaced.
Should I get a new 1366 mobo and hope the CPU survived and put the 5870 in for now, or should I get a 1155 mobo and 2600k CPU? Any thoughts? I know it's not much info, but like I said, I woke up to it.
Budget is kind of tight, so i'll likley use the 5870 for now, but I need a new mobo and probably CPU. What about the RAM? No water on it that I could see..
What's good? I need a lot of SATA both internaly and on the back. Other than that I don't really have any requirments, but a large mobo is to preferr (so I can fit a large cooler) I have GT fans laying around so I only need the cooler. Also some OC ability would be nice (around 4ghz).
