Basically my x99a sli Plus is busted because I keep getting an overcurrent warning on my usb device after getting a new psu because my old one was blown. I have tried everything ( unplugging all usbs, looking for damaged ports, etc) and it doesn’t work so now I am deciding if I want to get a new motherboard for my current cpu (i7 5820k) which I think will cost +$250 for a good one and I will also need a good cpu fan, was thinking the hyper 212, I will not be over clocking. So that will be close to $300 or more total. Or Is it worth to try and get a AMD Ryzen 2600 or 2600x and use the stock fan and buy a x470 gaming plus motherboard for ~$350 total? I could also prob sell the i7 cpu for $100-$175 and use that money for the Ryzen route.
What are your thoughts? Keep my current cpu and buy a new Mobo and fan or switch to Ryzen route.
