1) The four capacitors that are found around my CPU have bulged tops and a brown residue ontop. All other caps are okay, just the ones closest to the CPU are affected.

Am I being screwed by the PSUs or do I just replace the mobo because of the caps?


The caps are it. You either need to replace the caps or the mobo.
