Uefi gpus do run on non uefi bios motherboards.

Running non uefi gpus (older generations) on uefi motherboards not set to legacy first before Windows is installed is the problem.

YES, P5Q-E with GTX 1060 will work just fine
BUT the only one bad thing will be motherboard start time...

When you hit power button on your computer, all fans will run normally, but black screen will stays for over 30 seconds! Do not touch anything just wait - after 30seconds you will hear speaker sound (normal - one beep) (if you have it) and you will see post screen and system will boot fine. All tests like prime95 or furmark, or a lot of hours of gaming - will pass - everything is just fine. The only issue is that motherboard start time and no matter what you change in bios settings, which PSU, CPU, or RAM you will use the issue will stay. There is no UEFI bios for this motherboard so it has to be like that.
