The rest of the components are functioning properly, CPU (2600) and/or motherboard appear to be faulty. I'm searching for a suitable replacement to fit a Ryzen 7 2700x. What would be a solid choice that’s unlikely to fail and might benefit from overclocking if I try again? Any preferred brands come to mind? I’m looking for something affordable, around $200 to $250, and I’m feeling exhausted.

The funds are sufficient for an X570 board such as the TUF, but a 2700X isn't suitable for gaming.

It was just a bit pricier than swapping in my 2600, and getting it on Monday instead of Tuesday matters a lot for me. I might not push it to its limits, or maybe I’ll dive into video editing or something else the CPU could handle. What’s your take on an x570?

there are also options like the 2700, which serves the same purpose, or you might consider the 3700x since high-end X570 boards begin under $200. The TUF and Aorus Elite are worth looking into if you can take advantage of additional features. Also explore the X470 flagships such as the Gaming 7 and M7.

I mainly require an M.2 port and at least two USB ports on the back, which seems typical now. The Asus X470 TUF would arrive together with the CPU, which is helpful for me. Is this a solid choice for the X470 model?

Among TUF boards and cards, the TUF X570 Plus and its Wi-Fi version stand out as the best options since the "TUF Gaming" branding emerged. The X470 TUF is essentially a B350 Prime Plus rebranded with a fresh coat of paint.
