Hey guys! So I was planning on upgrading my PC once I had more money set aside but unfortunately, one of my PCIe 16x slots ripped right out of my MOBO. My GPU was sagging and it ripped the plastic casing out in the corner. When I removed the GPU it took the whole plastic piece right off the mobo and exposed the metal prongs.
My PC still turns, but none of the PCIe slots register my GPU. I plugged the GPU into another PC and it worked just fine.
Anyhow, with a 1000 dollar budget how good of a setup can I get to run an RTX 3060?
I'm looking to get a new MOBO and CPU. I imagine ill probably have to upgrade from DDR3 to DDR4 as well. I'm open to all suggestions! This kind of blows because i was hoping to build a PC that will last me the next 5+ years. Now I'm forced to make do on a small budget. If I can manage to run an RTX 3060 though id be quite happy.
From what iv seen on Amazon I can get MOBO's ranging from $200-300. The CPU looks like the biggest expense, especially if I got a board the supports a 10th gen i7. Anyhow, what are you guys' thoughts?
