Compatibility of Graphic Card with Motherboard

[Shashank Rao]

Will I be able to fit an Nvidia GTX 1060 Graphic Card and a Core i5 (6th or 7th gen) Processor in an Intel DB75EN Motherboard?
If not, which Motherboard(preferably low cost) should I go for?

You cannot install a 6th or 7th gen Core i series in that board. The most you can install is a 3rd Gen Core i series, max being a Core i7 3770. You can install the GPU just fine but you may need to do a BIOS update first.

To use a 6th or 7th gen Core i series you will need a 1x0 series or 2x0 series chipset.

1 PCIe 3.0 x16

The board has the proper slot for the card.

Will the Processor be compatible too?
Also the DB75EN is an old motherboard, so will I face any issues regarding loss of speed, etc?

Could you please suggest a Motherboard that would be compatible for a Core i series (6th or 7th) Gen?
