[SOLVED] Which Motherboard should I get for a RTX 2060?

[ShikaShika]

Hi,

So I just got this new GPU (a RTX 2060) and I realised my motherboard (Lenovo IS6XM) wasn't compatible, so I want to get a new one but I don't really know which one would be ideal because I'm no near an expert in PC building.

My specs:
Windows 10 64-bit
Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40GHz
20,0 Go Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
465GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 (SATA )
931GB Seagate SSD (SATA (SSD))

And my PSU provides 600W.

The price is most likely not an issue.

Thank you SO MUCH in advance for helping me with that!

If your motherboard has a PCIe 3 or even 2 slot it is compatible and should work.

honestly its not worth replacing that motherboard, if price isnt an issue you would be better off buying a Ryzen CPU, a B550 (or B450) motherboard and some DDR4 3600mhz RAM.

Thanks for your answer but I've tried putting my new GPU in my motherboard and the only thing I got was a black screen and a series of beeps from my computer. If I understand well, it means that my computer detects the graphic card but is unable to use it for some reason. The 8 pin power connector is plugged in so the only solution I see would be my motherboard. Can you help me with that?

Did you plug the monitor into the graphics card?

Anyway here would be a modern system to upgrade to

Otherwise you would have to look around the used markets for a LGA1155 socket motherboard.

Yes of course I did.
