Need an easy, inexpensive fix!

Been without a PC for about 6 months, been busy, and love my Surface Pro 3, but I need to get back on my PC!

Posting a pic...had a drip from processor, not sure how bad the damage is, but I'm thinking about getting a refurb mobo/cpu from Ebay or somewhere.

Built my PC back in 2010-2011 and haven't any time to fiddle with them like I used to.

Instead of buying new and spending a bunch, (I'm going to do that eventually) I though I might just get the refurb and get mine up and running again, for now.

I'd like to spend a couple hundred, maybe get an i3 or i5.

Almost wanna take it to a pro but I don't need someone telling me it'll cost a few hundred bucks to get it going again.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I can't seem to upload pics so here's a link:

Here's what I have if it helps determine what I need...
Mobo - Asus P6X58D-E
Gen 1 i7
Asus Poseidon Graphics card
Corsair 750 PSU
DLink wireless adapter
1TB HD
only had 6GB Corsair Ram
 
Looks minor. Clean and fix and give it a try.

Dell T3500s are pretty cheap - Xeon quad 3-3.4 Ghx - triple channel DDR3
