Currently I have a 3070 paired with a Ryzen 3600. System is close to 5 years old and has been slowing doing down and giving glitches lately. Formatted the 2 nvme ssds completely and reinstalled windows but yesterday when trying o boot up, it got stuck with the gpu debug light on on my b550 mobo.

I'll be a bit short of funds over the next 6 months so would like to stretch rebuilding of the pc as much as possible. In the meantime, if the gpu crashes, what's the cheapest gpu i can go for which is reasonably available in the used market as a placeholder - just to do work related tasks? I don't want to spend more than ₹ 1k.

Sell the 3600 & the 3070 Look for 5600G ?
 
I'd recommend asking around locally if a friend or someone in your city has a 900-10 series GPU, maybe l a GTX 1050 or 1060, Perhaps Rx 580, honestly any would work and buy it for below/around Rs. 4000-5000.

Use it for however much time you require and resell it to someone on this platform.
(Someone like me, I'm Dio !) I'd probably do the same given your situation. That way you can recover the cost and it'll not cost you more than Rs. 1000 i imagine in the end.
