[SOLVED] Motherboard is fried, need to upgrade hardware

[Dbrinks2]

My motherboard just crapped out on me. Its an old motherboard, LGA1150 series, so the ram is ddr3 and the cpu is for LGA1150.

I recently purchased an RTX2060 and would like to upgrade my hardware so that it doesn't bottleneck my GPU. I'm going to upgrade my RAM and CPU to the current gen motherboard hardware.

I'm not to sure what to get, I don't really have a budget, but I would rather not have upgraded my PC just yet, so I'm not looking to spend top dollar amounts. My monitor is 1080p 60 hz, so I don't need anything too crazy either.

My current specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Dbrinks2/saved/

P.S. I'm not really interested in the new Intel CPU's that are about to release.

ryzen 3300x or 3600
msi b450 tomahawk max
16gb (8x2) ddr4 3200mhz or better I've had good luck with G.Skill kits

The 3300X indeed offers intriguing levels of performance for an only 4c/8t CPU, but, I'd still opt for the 3600 if at all possible, unless you planned on perhaps a Ryzen 4000 upgrade later.

I think I’m gonna go for the Ryzen 3600, I’ve looked into getting that cpu before. What’s the difference in those two motherboards, and why spend that much on a motherboard

When I looked on pcpartpicker the MSI Tomahawk wasn't available, the TUF board is the cheapest x570 worth buying

It is a solid x570 motherboard. I've had no issues at all.

the TUF x570 board is also sold out, it seems like alot of motherboards are currently sold out.

Might be worth waiting for B550 boards to launch
