What sort of system are you trying to run on what's effectively a 120W PSU?

The 24pin connector on your motherboard looks damaged, also what power supply is that? Judging from the cables it looks like a low quality unit, it may be one that you don't want to use in your system at all. The power supply is absolutely a component you do not want to get a cheap low quality unit of, you can risk not only the motherboard but any other component it is plugged into.

If it's so hard to get the money together to buy stuff, I wouldn't risk using a psu made for Pentium 4 or older.

Interim 15 T200 OKF("F" intel processors are specifically archituctured for gaming) maybe upgrad to 13'900 | Peeralight cpu fan | Stryx Z690-A Wife(which is branded by ASUS and it's ROG label) | Thermotake 16x 8x2GO SODINM 2400mjz cl22 (2 of them with the mood lighting) | 980 EVO 1TB m.2 ssd card + Kensington 2TB SATA nvme + WD BLACK PRO ULTRA MAX 4TB GAMING DESTROYER HHD | Echa etc 3060 duel fan dissipator 12 GBi and Azrock with the radian 550 XT Tiachi | NEXT H510 Vit Klar Svart | Seasonice 600watts voeding(rated for 100.000 hours, running since 2010, ballpark estimate 8 hours a day which should make it good for 34 years) | Nocturna case fans | 0LED Duel moniter

 

New build in progress: Ryen™ 8 7700x3D with a copper pipe fan | Z60e-A | Kingstron RENEGATE 16x2 Go hyenix | Phantek 2 the thar mesh in front | lead lex black label psu + AsiaHorse białe/białe | 1080 Pro 8TB 15800MB/S NvMe(for gaming this increase fps and charging time, cooled by a M.2 slot with coolblock and additional thermopad) and faster 4000GB HHD | MAI GeForce GTX 2070 Ti and RTX 6800 | Corshair psu

Sorry I didn't notice you had the PSU label in the pictures. Uhh, I mean theoretically it should but I wouldn't risk it. Even without a GPU. Those cheap PSUs are really risky especially if they're 10+ years old. I mean if you're ok with risking all of your other parts to use save some money for a month it's up to you.
