Hello all - I'm trying to rebuild my computer (have a friend who can help put it together with me) but i'm not sure what I need to buy to get it working again.

I'm getting no signal when i boot it up - it started as a processor issue, so i bought a new one, then the GPU wasn't working - I still don't have a way to test that - but ultimately I think I need a new Graphics card and Motherboard.

I've tried everything under the sun to get it working (tested power supply, cleaned ram, everything hooked up correctly, etc etc - made posts about it and followed instructions - no luck)


So essentially i'm just wondering what GPU and Motherboard will fit and work with all of my equipment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is what i currently have.

You're misunderstanding.

I'm re-using all parts - my computer was doing exactly what i needed it to before the no signal issue - and that was caused by me.

I just need to know what GPU and Mobo i can buy that is comparable to what I currently have/had - all other parts will be reused.

I'm not trying to update my system, just get it to it's previous form.


EDIT: Sorry - may just be my wording - "update" may have been the wrong word to use.
