Looking for advice.

>windows event log reads kernel power error 41 (63)

>power button causes lights to turn on and fans to spin (with exception of gpu fans)
>look inside for any obvious errors
>motherboard has greasy slightly brown odorless liquid around vrm and a set of capacitors. No capacitor is noticeably damaged though
>rma'd mobo and gpu
System specs
-amd 8320 black edition
-msi 970 gaming motherboard
-msi r9 390 gpu
-cooler master g650m psu
-16 GB corsair vengeance 1600 ram
I want to maybe sell msi parts when they come back and buy a gigabyte ga 990fx gaming mobo and gigabytes version of the r9 390. I am also looking at an evga 650 watt fully modular psu gold rated, and an aftermarket cooler prolly the evo 212. I also intend to completely reinstall my os.
I read msi makes shitty boards and the 8320s watage is higher than that mobo could handle, my original psu was bronze rated, and it was my mistake to use an amd stick cooler since they can get up too 10000000 degrees under full load.
Should all these changes fix the issue in having?
