Hi All,
I have a FX based computer running MSI 970 Gaming Mobo with an FX 8350 chip. I had it is storage for a couple months during a move and long story short, it is not turning on any longer. Based on my troubleshooting the Mobo is fried. So that leaves me at a decision point I need advice on.
Do I find a new AM3+ mobo (pretty expensive for anything decent) or try to find a good used one? The risk in this is there could be damage to processor and I have no way of knowing.
The other oprtion is replace with new Ryzen setup which will need processor, mobo and RAM. What can I get for $250-$300 tops?
TIA
