Which Direction to go now?? Family PC Build

[SkyguyXD]

Hello all,

I'm currently in a specific situation and would like some advice on the matter.

The family computer at my parent's house is ancient so I agreed to help and build them a new one.

They wanted a good pc that would't cost anything. My sibling also wanted to be able to do some gaming on it.

I purchased an old Dell Optiplex on Ebay with an I7 3770 as a base for the build. I bought a new Seasonic 500w PSU, some used ram, and a used RX 580 to add.

I did get it working for about a week before the motherboard started having problems.

 

I've already put about 400 into all of these parts and dont want to put much more out.

I also am thinking of getting a new case as the stock optiplex offers little cooling

 

Motherboard options im looking at include a New chinese Jingsha one and a used Gigabyte one on Aliexpress:

Why not get a proper board used on eBay?
