The replacement parts came a day early! Anyways here's a few pictures that I took with my iPod Touch's 🤬 camera.
All the parts except the stolen stuff
The replacements
Installed the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and a few cables from the PSU. (Also the DVD drive, HDD, SSD)
Finished product with the GTX760 inside. I had a small hiccup plugging in the front USB 3.0 cable onto the motherboard, hopefully nothing broke.
I'm going to turn it on tomorrow and install Windows 8.1 since its getting really late here.

@ProjectWHaT Are you using the stock cooler? Or did you order an aftermarket one?

I'm using the stock heatsink because I'm not planning on OC any time soon

Updated GIMP and did the following.
Finished making up the livery for BATracer.
Made up a TOMs Castrol Supra for the LMES
White with green and red stripes
White with blue and red stripes

And for a retro feel
Black with green and red stripes
Black with blue and red stripes
Still working on it overall

My power supply died. 
620w is enough for my computer right?

I know right?!!
500 is the minimum for the GTX760. And you're at 620...
I went with a 600 in my build which only needed a little over 300.

My PSU is 520W and I have no idea what was required but it's gone two years now so I'm assuming under 500.
@ProjectWHaT you may want to bump it up to 750ish.

I double checked the power using a PSU calculator and it says it only requires 360-ish. Either I'm doing something wrong or I'm stupid or I'm most likely doing something wrong.

@ProjectWHaT - looking at your build, we have very similar machines and my 600w PSU has been running just fine. If it is indeed the PSU, perhaps you have a bad one and should look into getting it replaced.

That's just a test, not a fix.
Yeah, why would you need to do the PSU test? That's what I don't get.
Anyways, glad that you fixed it.

I'm wondering if you guys could help me. Ive been playing iracing on a triple screen for about 18 months but I've just encountered a problem.
The middle screen is loosing signal and entering power save mode just as I boot up the PC. This screen is connected via DVI. Now I'm not the best with knowing pc specs but I know it has a Radeon HD7850, Asus A99X evo motherboard. Any help appreciated!

My GTX780 is powered by a 600W PSU. Not a single problem.
I've finished installing the original Crysis, the texture packs and all other updated packs for foliage and nature. Also installed a graphics mod to adjust lighting, depth of field, etc. Game is 7 years old and looks better than anything else still. Might try and see if I can record gameplay with Shadowplay...

Try swapping the cable from the middle monitor with one of the others, if the middle monitor is still bad then you know it's not the cable. If the middle monitor is still bad, try swapping the connectors at the graphics card end to see if you can get the fault to occur on a different monitor; if you can get one of the other monitors to stop working then you know your monitors are fine and it's the PC at fault. Once you know which bit is bad you can take the appropriate remedial action.

Same for my 770. Suggested is 600w but the 770 draws less than 250.
