My GPU isn't fitting into my PCI-E slot!

Hey! so I recently bought a new gtx 1060 6gb ddr5 and I really don't know what to do! I can't seem to fit it in for some reason... Will I have to upgrade my motherboard? (My motherboard is the Asus H81m-e M51ad) I really need help!

I don't see the problem you have a pcie-16 slot. Did you remove the faceplates on the backside of the pc case?

By not fitting do you mean it doesn't slide in or it just won't align with the slot? You need to push it down a little do make it fit into the pci-e slot.

Did you flip the little retainer tab down so it can go in?

There is nothing wrong with your mobo or GPU size. It should fit. My recommendation is to pay/ask for someone who knows how to install your graphics card before you do anything wrong, be careful!!
