New motherboard, will it work?

Hey guys, i want to buy a new motherboard, cause this motherboard has the pcie slot dead. So yeah.. my motherboard is  asrock h81m-vg4 r2.0 and i want to buy a asrock h81m-vg4 r3.0

Will it work for my specs:

CPU
Intel Core i3 4360 @ 3.70GHz 40 °C
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
Storage
465GB SAMSUNG HD502IJ (SATA ) 21 °C
PSU
FSP ATX 350W PSU Power Supply ATX3530-HEN
GPU
Nvidia GeForce GT730

 

Will it work? Some opinions didnt hurt noone, so is good to ask.

 

I know i have made a topic about it a week ago or so.., and somebody recommended me a gigabyte but i dont have that much money to buy it and i found this asrock r3.0 cheaper at a store and is brand new.

You wanted to buy basically the same motherboard just higher revision. So yes, it will work.

you don't need the exact same motherboard for it to work, any LGA 1150 board will work assuming it's not an OEM board with proprietary connectors.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

If that motherboard went faulty maybe use a different model as it might just happen again. What GPU do you want to put in. Maybe you just need to install the drivers

Please tag me @Windows9 so I can see your reply

PSA: No, I didn't waste all that money on computers, (except the main one) my server cost $40, the intel NUC was my old PC (although then it had 8GB of ram, I gave the bigger stick of ram to a person who really needed it), my laptop is used and the second PC is really cheap.

I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day)

I thought about that, but it went faulty after many hours and years of usage and i think i might be the responsible to kill that pcie, when i installed my cpu, probably some static energy or idk. I tried many things to fix but the pcie is dead, im 100% sure.
