Hello! Here’s a clearer version of your message:

Hi everyone,
I own a GTX 1060 6GB B350 Strix FX GFX R7 1700. After two years, both my motherboard and CPU stopped working properly. I sent the B350 to Asus for repair, and they fixed it. My R7 1700 was sent to AMD, and today I received a new one. I’m considering buying a B450 Tomahawk Max because I didn’t know about the issues with my current setup. I have two motherboards now—Strix and Tomahawk. Should I keep the R7 1700 unopened new, or should I go with a 3600X or 2700X instead? Also, what do you think? Thanks!
Best,
And have a great day!

The 3600 offers a solid performance increase in games and might be a good investment, particularly after upgrading your graphics card. You might consider selling parts later, but keeping them handy is wise for anyone who could benefit from a newer setup or just a functional machine. The decision hinges on whether you expect to recoup the cost. In the used market, it's likely you can find the CPU and motherboard at a favorable price to balance out the purchase of a 3600.
