New mobo or upgrade?

[Renevds]

Hye guys,

 

Yesterday i tried to boot my pc but i got a blue screen telling me to restart so i restarted and got a blue screen with a different error. After a few restarts i couldn't even get to the blue screens. I tested everything hdd,ram,gpu even pulled out the cmos. Even after pulling out all the hdd i couldn't get to the bios or anything.

My conclussion R.I.P mobo.

 

So the thing is now i have 2 options. Keep in mind my processor is a 3350p so not to good. I also have a gtx1070 that might be slightly botlenecked.

 

Option 1:

Search for a socket 1155 motherboard with ddr3 ram (proven hard to find).

 

Option 2:

Upgrade processor (i'm going to do it anyway eventually) and move to something like a 1151 socket with ddr4 ram. (budget: 400€ without mobo)

 

Im not sure what to do but thx anyway.

At this point, id recommend upgrading to the 6th gen Skylake architecture

 

I would recommend:

6600K

Asus Z170-A

Whatever DDR4 you like

 

Anyone who says go 7th gen is wrong, the extra cost isn't worth the price difference

Option 2 without a doubt.

How about Ryzen 5? the 1500X costs around 200$, an AM4 mobo costs around 100$. 8 gb ddr4 go for around 70$. All together around 350$ for a nice pc.
