My computer technician has told me the mother board in my desktop is toast. It's getting old and some of the ports are showing signs of rust and wear. Time for a new computer but I know nothing about graphic cards, OP systems and storage. I like gaming, World of Tanks, Call of Duty Etc (hey I'm old no judging). What does this look like:  
 
STGAubron Gaming PC Computer Desktop, GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6G, Intel Core i7 8th Gen up to 4.1GHz, 16G DDR4, 1T SSD, WiFi 6 & BT 5.2, RGB Fan x4, Windows 11 Home  
 
or:  
 
HP OMEN - 35L Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 8700F - 16GB DDR5 Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GDDR7 - 1TB SSD  
 
Any opinions out there?

The first PC with the GTX 1660 Super will run cooler and use less power, but it’s an older setup that’s already falling behind for modern gaming. The HP Omen with the RTX 5060 Ti is more powerful, future-proof, and better for games at higher graphics settings, but it will run hotter and draw more power (though its cooling system is built to handle that). In short: the first is cooler and quieter but weaker, while the second is hotter but much faster and a better long-term choice for gaming.

NVIDIA will end regular Game Ready Driver support for the GTX 10 series (Pascal architecture) in October 2025.  
So the first PC is already going to be a problem come October.  
 
The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F CPU in the second PC is from 2024, and the RTX 5060 Ti should be from this year (2025), so it’s the clear winner between the two.  
 
I don’t know who runs Geekz Computers anymore since the owner passed away, but I believe they’re located on Pacific Avenue I would go talk to them.  
 
Richard at Best Buy has been there a very long time, he’s also a gamer, and he works in the Best Buy computer department.  
 
I’m not affiliated with either, but in my opinion they are both very trustworthy when it comes to PC gaming.

Thank you for your help to both of you. That's exactly the kind of information I need.  
 
My worn out computer is a Geek's bench build from about 15 years ago and is just now starting to be out dated so that goes to show the quality in their work. I'd get Geek's to build from the ground up again but the problem is I don't live in Brandon any more.  
 
Thanks agin for your help.
