Buy a used 5090 off amazon. Buy 5090 off ebay that is being sold as "for parts not working". Recieve 5090 from amazon, unpack it. Repack the broken 5090 as the amazon 5090 and request a return with amazon. Return broken 5090, keep working 5090, get gift card from amazon for price of working 5090. Buy new mobo, 9950x3d cpu, 4qty gskill 24gb 8000 sticks for 96gb 8000 of total ram, 4tb ssd. Orrrrrr do the 5090 trick for each pc component and upgrade whole build for the price of the silicon-less for parts ebay price on all used like new components.
Can’t Amazon just check the serial number for the returned graphics card lol.
