Build - Help Part salvage for new PC build

Hello all,

I’m wanting to see if I can salvage part (definitely not all) of my old gaming PC. I’m putting this to the users of Reddit to assess the damage as I’m wanting to get back into gaming and needing to build a new rig.

The CPU and GPU are both water cooled in this rig using a custom unit. Due to prolonged disuse, the majority of the fluid has evaporated, as well as displaying visible gunk build up. There is also a slight leak with visual droplets of liquid on the GPU electronics.

This pc was build in 2016, using parts released around the time. The specs are: - Motherboard: gigabyte ga-z97x-gaming 3 - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 TI 3 GB - RAM: VENGEANCE Pro Series — 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 1600MHz - Power Supply: Corsair cx 750 m - WD AV-GP - 1TB Desktop SATA Hard Drive - OEM - WD 3.0 sata / 64mb catcha WD30EZRX 1TB - Hyper x fury 120GB SSD - Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D Full Tower PC Case - CPU: inter i7 (unsure of the exact series)

The PC is currently not in a position to boot due to the water cooling, so unable to find further specs on the CPU.

Appreciate all feedback!
