I want to buy new CPU and motherboard.
CPU - AMD only, had a bad experience with Intel
Motherboard - other than Gigabyte and Asus.
Current situation -
Existing CPU and motherboard are not in working condition. I tried Soldering dead capacitors on motherboard but not worked. Gigabyte Service Center can't provide service due to unavailability for parts and product. Did not tried any local repairs as their visiting charges are high ₹500+ and I couldn't find technically sound person locally. As of now still don't know if CPU and motherboard are repairable or gone.
Considering above situation -
Should I buy online directly and return for refund if not working Will they accept returns? I see better deals online.
Or
Before buying CPU and motherboard should I check other PC parts are working or not? With Primeabgb Technicians?
Will they charge for testing other pc parts?
More details here -
I purchased this Computer on 2017, in all 5 years all problems were related to motherboard only. Spent almost 3k for 3 year for diagnosing and repairing in Primeabgb.
(Same year we purchased Lenovo Laptop, which is working good without any problem. Nothing happened to it in 5 years)
Budgets - ±10k, ±15k
Unable to decide budget. And there is no plan upgrading computer later. I will use as long as it works. I want to use computer for another 5+ years minimum. And support for motherboard (or new Motherboard compatible with existing CPU) or support for CPU (or new CPU compatible with existing motherboard) should be available after 5+ year minimum.
(I know there isn't any guarantee about cpu, motherboard support but still)
±10k - AMD 3000G and B450 motherboard suggested by @whitestar_999
This should work at least for 5+ years.
Or
±15k - I want to buy Ryzen series + good decent motherboard.
If I can get Ryzen 5 3500 at ~₹10k + good low cost motherboard.
For this budget, motherboard should be available for CPU even after 5+ years
Also I will not upgrade anything for minimum 5+ years. If only then RAM.
Extra purchase not decided yet.
RAM - can I add another 8gb 3000mhz or 3600mhz with existing 2400mhz "Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2400MHz"?
Or should I purchase new 16gb and sell existing 8gb 2400mhz?
