what do you think about this too?

Yeah I get what you're saying as the smell comes from the GPU side. Worth noting I took the back plate off and applied new thermal paste and changed the software on EVGA so the fans aren't just ideal like they were.
Budget max £700
No way of getting a spare right now. But I am willing to invest money into a few bits.
I'd personally like a 3rd gen AMD or 9th gen Intel and 3000-3200MHZ ram. Very unsure on motherboards, clearly my choices haven't been good!
Any parts you'd recommend for someone who games and does graphics work?
Well technically I don't, but it'll be good to keep up to date on better parts.
I'd rather not take it apart as I'm not too familiar with pc's in general. But I'll be happy to send over some pictures in 30-40 mins
I do not have another system to test I did visual checks, nothing seems out of place. Is there another way of seeing?
Because if it's infact the motherboard, I'll be needing to replace the CPU and Ram.
Ah the motherboard is older than most yeah, like 3 years old possibly.
I just replaced the PSU as I thought that was the issue, but no smells coming from that area.
