might just have to save up for a new pc and just sell this one for parts i will keep the hdd tho as there is important stuff on them
If you want help designing a computer, DM/PM me on the forum or we can email each other (Sorry I need to mask it) 7d65e86a@opayq.com at this address.
I think a lot of people here are trying to give you an answer on EE experience instead of computing. If it was working after reseating stuff, I doubt the PSU was the immediate issue.
I have plenty of experience in designing computers, and I can get you a major bang for your buck. Building computers are like lego. It's just a bunch of slots you need to put in. There isn't soldering, no tricky configuration, and if your careful, nothing to go wrong. I currently run a box (Not designed to be a bang for your buck, rather a future proofed machine) with an i7-4790k (Current i7 bang for your buck spot) GTX 970, 16GB of some DDR3 RAM I had for a few years, and a 500GB SSD.
If you feel to go on your own, check out some of the older Xeons. You can get a 4 core hyperthreaded Xeon (Older architecture) for (Refurb) 30$

Again, I am here to help pick out parts, I don't ask anything, happy to help you.
