Question B360M bazooka

[Sveklas_]

I want a new Gpu and im thinking A :NVIDIA ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 V2 12GB OC LHR (I copy pasted that)

My question is ,Is my Mother board compatible with that ??

The question is more what CPU and PSU do you have ? Power and type of PCIe power connectors.
Your motherboard is not a problem

Yes you can plug in a PCIe 4.0 graphic card in a PCIe 3.0 slot. However, plugging in a newer gen PCIe device in an older gen PCIe slot can present bottlenecks, your card wont use it's whole potential. But it's gonna work .

My Cpu is a i5-8400(that im also gonna change but still not know what im going to change it for) My Psu is a Thermaltake Smart 600W ATX

This cpu is unfortunately bottleneck for rtx 3060, I found out its on average 30% lose on fps.
600W PSU is enough.

Thanks like i said im looking to change it too, but what do you think i should buy if you can help me in this it will be really helpful (i dont need the best one out there i just need a decent one)

I tried to find antyhing that will work and its worth the money but it's just hard. Most of the CPUs on socket 1151 lose 15-25% fps in games with rtx 3060, + my knowledge on sockets 1151 isn't good enough to know if they work with other sockets. I just dont wanna mislead you. Im sorry.

I know it's easy to say and its the worst solution but i think you should consider first new MOBO with newer socket, and its not only about cpu socket. RAM slot doesnt support much aswell. From my experience I know very bad thing to buy kinda "newer" things to make them work with your older pc. Espesialy expensive At the end you lose more money.
