[SOLVED] Video card far too big for motherboard

[Adacctac]

I am building my first computer, While I was buying the parts when I realized I needed a board that's wifi equipped. So the worker who was helping me obtain my items recommended a B450 AORUS PRO WIFI motherboard, I did not realize at the time how much trouble this would put me in; as the board is too small for my "Asus - GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB DUAL OC Video Card" I also have learned that Ryzen CPU is hard to find a compatible match for both, if anyone can help that'd be great.

Graphics cards connect to your motherboard via a standard 16 lane PCIe slot. These are completely standard and you'll find them on just about every modern motherboard, including the one you have chosen.

You should have no compatibility problems between that graphics card and motherboard.

Your "case" houses all the internal components for your computer. There are many different sized cases and you do need to be careful when purchasing a smaller case and a larger graphics card. You can stuck if the graphics card won't physically fit into the case.

What's your concern with the motherboard? The graphics card should just go in the PCIe slot. Don't worry if it overhangs the board, there's no problems with that. The only issue would be if it doesn't fit into your case.

I am having a moderate amount of trouble attaching the card to the board then, any idea why?

It's difficult to know why without understanding what the problem is. The top PCIe slot on your board has the metal plating. The graphics card should slip straight in there with the connectors lining up with the slots on the back of your case.

You said this is your first build. Have you watched some basic build guides on Youtube?

There are a bunch of basic things I could check such as make sure you've removed the expansion slot covers on your case. But first you should just watch how someone else does it and see what it is that's tripping you up.

Can you show some photos? What exactly the trouble is?

Remove that black plastic cover from graphics card first (with ASUS written on it).

This is, how it should look.
