You are giving us absolutely no information to work with.

Do you know the specs?
What is wrong with the PC?, how are we supposed to how how to fix it if we dont know what might be wrong with it?

Does it turn on? Any error codes on the motherboard?

Did you get any information from a the thrift shop?

To add to this take some actual good pictures. Any way you can see what motherboard this is?

 

Only thing Insee rhats odd is a stain on what I assume is the gpu and no ram

 

Have you even tried seeing if it just magically boots up anyway? Hook it up to a monitor and see

 

Like any info you have extra would help heaps.

 

And also dont panic cuz ya seem a bit panicky haha

More information required. Please provide all the infos you have from the store, plus any error codes, issues etc.

 

From the picture I would guess you need at least new RAM (which kind we can't tell from these pictures) and most likely a new SSD, should the seller have removed it. Again, which kind we can't tell you without further information.

The thing is I don't know if is good I'm not good with computer. And where I bought from said "they don't it's works or not" and they didn't have cables for power. This is my first time owning computer.

But surely they must have gotten some information on what hardware was in there?

Ok so time to get a monitor and power it on whilst its standing up.

 

Have some paper towels at the ready incase the custom water cooling leaks.

 

Else well more pictures. The model nr of the motherboard is behind the gpu try to see if you can see it

[warriors1980s]

Also the seller does not know anything about pc. The seller just get stuff from donations.

Ok so we have:

Psu: evga 850gt - a good psu!

Gpu: evga 3080 - a VERY good gpu

Board: A msi mag tomahawk but unsure which yet let me see what I can find thats similar.

 

So far you are missing ram which will prevent it from booting at all.

 

The gpu has a stain which is a bit worrying

 

Edit its the msi mag b550 tomahawk a recent board. I assume this pc is about 3 years old and most likely a top end pc from then. So if it works a GREAT deal. So far ram is missing but 2x16gb sticks of 3200mhz ddr4 is like 50$.

 

So id say get some and see if it boots up!

[warriors1980s]

When I bought it it didn't came with power supply cables

All xables are present you just need a power cable for the back and well to hook it up to a monitor. Make sure to connect the display cable to the gpu.

 

 

You just need a c13 power cable you most likely already have some because it super common on MANY appliances and such

Fits with the CPU block, that looks like a Thermaltake W4 RGB. The manual shows the mounting hardware is AM4; LGA ones don't have the connected braces or whattheycalled.

Does the back looks good?

Looks all plugged in just messy

[warriors1980s]

So in short I just need ram, power cord, and ssd?

Ram and powercord yes. Ssd we do not know.

 

Lets start with the basics first and only whats needed. Ram and power is enough to start diagnosing.

 

Else do you have a monitor, keyboard and mouse? If you have a monitor does it have hdmi or displayport so you can hook the pc up to it?

[warriors1980s]

No I only have a laptop. Can any hdmi work? Also can I hook it up to a tv?

These 2 things

 

This will let you start diagnostic on the system

[jaslion]

Now that dark stainnon the gpu id like some more pics of that as that is verrry odd.

 

nevermind!!! It was your fingers.

 

Well then btw gpu is even better!!!

 

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/evga-rtx-3080-ti-xc3-ultra-hydro-copper.b9248

 

3080ti so basically a 3090 with half the vram.

 

Yeah I see nothing wrong with this pc except missing ram.
