Fried motherboard so I'm going to use this as an opportunity to upgrade/rebuild. Built pc from here about 5 years ago so ready for upgrade anyway. Also already bought a power supply since I thought that was the issue originally.

Current pc:
MSI Radeon HD 7950 DirectX 11 R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
MSI Z77A-GD55 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS (DEAD)
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W BX80637I53570K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000
Rosewill Hive Series 650W Modular Gaming Power Supply, 80 PLUS Bronze Certified, Single +12V Rail, Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready, SLI & CrossFire Ready - Hive-650
Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX318C10FBK2/16)
WD Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Desktop 3.5" Hard Drive (WD1002FAEX ) (Old Model)
Samsung 850 evo 500gb SSD

Budget: 1000 (probably less if anything I have is worth keeping)
More specific use (what games, what programs): ARPG gaming, things like POE/d3 on high. But would like to buy a system that can handle more intensive games in the future
Planned time until purchase: Now
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes
Do you have any specific preferred components?: No, already purchased power supply but can return. It is Corsair CX650. Also want a nice case, don't mind paying extra for case since it will be in a common room
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: no
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: stock is fine
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: no
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs) 98102

this, not worth buying new with a 3rd gen cpu atm.

Reuse anything but the GPU.
Buy a new Z77 motherboard and a GPU in a comfortable price range. Possible GTX 1070-1080ti all after what you are willing to spend and what you wanna play.
