[Build Help] Desktop got fried, need help rebuilding it!

Post Body

Hey there! Last week a storm hit my neighborhood and put my desktop out of commision. This was the configuration I was running: PCPartPicker part list

Based on advice from a local technician here are the parts I plan on reusing: *The tower *The RAM *The videocard *The hard drive *The CD-ROM *keyboard, mouse and monitor

That being said, I was looking to upgrade and have a budget of around 800$ (excluding the OS). I am looking to buying a new motherboard, power unit, a processor similar to i-5, hard drive and a new video card. I know it is possible to use two video cards in conjunction but I am not sure what would pair well with the one I already have or what motherboard I would have to use.

I do not have my build savvy roommate to help me this time so any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
