My screen has been freezing/flickering and then blue screening all week. Cleaned it, reapplied thermal paste, refresh/reinstalled win10. No luck
Was thinking its either the 660ti GPU or power supply, but messing around I shorted out the chassis fan connector on the motherboard (saw a spark) and may have killed the whole thing

Looking around at used stuff in the area, saw a computer with my exact power supply and CPU (3570k) and a 1070 for $650. Is that a good reflection of the market?

Is prebuilt going to be the way to go with how bad the graphics card market is?
Friend of mine is saying just get a prebuilt laptop from Asus but I can't imagine the heat issues being ok
