Hi guys,
First, thank you for reading. I'll get right to it. I have a Lenovo y710 Cube gaming PC (specs are below). Long story short, I pulled out the graphics card and must've missed a lever on the PCIE slot because I accidentally yanked the socket itself with the card. Argh!
My question: I want to get back up and running. I have limited funds, around $400. What should I do? Here are the options that appear to be available to me:
My system specs:
Lenovo y710 cube, mini ITX case/mobo
i7-6700
GTX 1070
2 TB HDD
256 SSD
16 GB DDR4 2133
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys can give!

My question: I want to get back up and running. I have limited funds, around $400. What should I do? Here are the options that appear to be available to me:
- Buy replacement mobo of exact model (new I see is almost $200, used 160) and stick that in there.
- Buy a different mini ITX mobo, but id have to get one with CPU or transfer my CPU to that I guess. Id like to reuse my RAM sticks as well if I can.
- Buy a barebones PC and put my gtx 1070/hard drives in that
- Buy a super cheap/used gaming PC and start over. Maybe sell my 1070. But I dont think i could get a comparable system for $400
- ...something else?
