Which motherboard should I buy?

[_Eternal]

Lol it’s funny because I’m so simple minded because I have no knowledge of these things. Thanks for the big help. I will post the pc when it’s ready. I wanna know how much I can get out of it with a realistic price.

You are welcome but sorry to dampen your spirits with what the finished article will be worth, not very much I`m afraid. possibly around the €100 region.

Nah, I think not. Only the graphics card is worth around 150 euro. And none on the internet that I found are better looking than this one. I was looking for the same MB(which is the broken one) to replace it and found a PC which had it, it had lesser components such as RAM and graphics card and a i5 in it that’s older and the i7 3770k. Its sold fast for 200 euro.
I think I would get more out of this. I then did some research and found out that if you combine 3770k with this graphics card you can play 4k with high settings but not ultra. I remember for examp I played Green Hell on the thinkbook laptop and the least requirement were 4gb ram and 4gb graphics. With standard 3.2 ghz. i7 if overclocked can reach 3.9. Standard 3.5. I had it on ultra high and the game was doing well for a long while I played in the jungle gathering building exploring etc there was no lag nothing until the cutscene, there it crash the cutscene would not play, because of some resolution issue I think. At the end I got my money back from that. Anyways I have i5 1135 in my thinkbook and I know it’s 11th gen. But a 8gb graphics card is still better than just a CPU.
These components maybe old but they are still decent. I even thought of getting another of the same GPU and make it 16gb but then found out it’s a lot of work and a mess(for me) sync those together and use both at the same time. If I remember correct it was something called SLI and only certain GPU and needed an extra slot for the extra GPU.
Thanks for the tip as always.

I was going to say 100 to €150 but didn’t want to get your hopes up, the GPU sold on its own would generate more cash, anyone wanting just the GPU will not be prepared to pay for the whole PC when they only want the card and especially when the present PSU is junk and should not be used anywhere near an add on GPU, fwiw, the PSU is rated as – Tier E • Avoid

Thank you for being honest.

I see what you mean. A decent PSU is around the same 100-€150, which is a gold. I’m thinking it’s not worth it for it. I have to buy everything else. I will have to spend a few hundred on it. Might generate more cash than but is there any point in doing it… I think I will just put the GPU for sale and put the rest for a cheap price. Anything I can get out of it is profit.

Exactly what I would do, the CPU has on die video so you can sell the parts as fully working - the GPU, just set the remaining part up and take a few pics of it working, that should help you with the sale.

Yeah, I’ll do that. Thanks a lot for the help. I think we can close it here.
