I am trying to make a necklace, i looked for a dead graphics card, or at least something that somewhat looks like today's graphics cards, but couldn't find anything. I would prefer if it was just a plastic shell, because i don't know how heavy graphics cards are but i don't want a heavy piece of metal around my neck. Also graphics cards are expensive.

Are you sure you know what a graphics card looks like?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Get a VW emblem from an old VW Bus, turn it into a necklace, but keep the radiator fan behind it as well?

 

I think you can find some little necklace charms on Etsy that look like mini-GPU's, but are plastic or ceramic, and designed for purpose.

 

I used to use dead memory sticks as a keychain, but... Those were 8MB or 16MB sticks, and dirt cheap, even working.

You probably want to rethink that, as I'm having a hard time seeing how a "GPU necklace" can look good at all.

 

But your best bet is to see if there's a local E-Waste recycler in your area. They'll have tons of old GPU's, lots of dead ones too. You can also put a posting on Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji or Craigslist, and post a "Wanted" ad, looking for free, nonfunctional GPU's.
