Unfortunately I need a new board. I have no idea how this happened. Everything works except video. That slot must be burned up as well.

This board is a Gigabyte X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Rev 1.0
CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 RAM 64GB (4x16GB)
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, iCUE H170i Cooler
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Mini 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
I have 4 RGB fans using a controller, the AIO has 3 RGB fans as well with it's own controller.

Can you guys recommend a better board without breaking the bank? Maybe around $200? I could get the same one for around $130. Not sure if I even need to upgrade. What do you guys think?
 
Only 4 X series boards in budget new:

X570 there is pretty bare bones. So I would look at the Fatality or the two Taichi.
Hey thanks Eximo. doesn't look like they're all available. What do you think of this one?

I like that it's wifi. I'm not quite sure what's the difference between that and the one I have now though.,

Or this one?

Looks like the one I have is much more expensive, if that means anything.
They were both released on the same day.

Both solid MBs. but damage like that doesn't happen all by itself, what did you plug in ? Whatever it was it made a bad short or you got some water in them so don't try it on new MB until properly checked.
