Just recently purchased 3 new parts; Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660Ti 8GB, Kingston A2000 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD and HyperX Fury HX432C18FB2K2/16 2x(8)GB 3200Mhz DDR4

GPU installed fine however when I put in the new ram computer didn't even start up. Problem was my motherboard is "too old" and isn't compatible with with new ram. Currently have the M.2 SSD installed problems but not showing anywhere up within my PC even though it comes up in my BIOS boot settings.

Here is the rest of my PC specs;
PRIME B250M-K mATX Motherboard
Intel Core i5 7400 Quad-Core 3.0GHz
Intel standard CPU Fan
1x(8)GB 2133Hz DDR4
550 Watt Power Supply

I'm unsure of what motherboards would be compatible with the new parts I bought and need help :)

Any 200 series Intel board should work.
Regarding the m.2 issue, have you checked in BIOS if there's a setting "enabling" the drive?
You can try also updating the board's BIOS, if newer version available.
I think regarding the M.2 problem I may have to check my SATA plugins and BIOS. Was reading through the user manual for the motherboard ( View: https://imgur.com/a/gyJPOhW
