... i get the no money issue (?) but that's the thing with pcs...  so you mounted the ssd wrong,  somehow... probably!  (no one really knows)

 

so you have several options: 

 

reset CMOS

 

return the mobo

 

return the ssd

 

return both

 

 

buy a new SATA ssd and try with that instead of the probably toasted current ssd. 

 

(id try this honestly,  a decent 250gb is like 20 bucks)

 

 

and if its still not seeing any usb which you probably need to install windows, try to reset CMOS, unless the motherboard is really toast that should fix it.  

The Mobo and SSD are from when I originally bought the computer years ago so sadly there is no way to return them. I’ll try and reset CMOS today and hopefully that fixes the USB issue. So I didn’t install a brand new SSD or anything, it’s been the same ones for years

You replaced your CPU, so that might not be seated correctly. I would reseat the CPU and take out the SSD and see, if it boots through USB. If it does, you can try putting the SSD in again, but with a standoff this time.

It’s definitely not the CPU, I had it in for a week or so with my 2060 and was playing games perfectly fine, problems happened after I exchanged out the 2060 for the RX 6700XT, but I will try to see if I can get it to boot through USB

kind of sounds like the mobo got damaged somehow.  if i was you I'd try to replace it.

 

sadly that's what troubleshooting a computer often boils down to, if you don't really know what's wrong  - and no one here does - you need to start swapping out components.  and motherboard/ ssd from all we know is where you should start.
