[SOLVED] Will this graphics card work with my motherboard?

[Loob]

If i were to buy this gpu "MSI GeForce RTX 2070 ARMOR" would it fit with my MSI ms-7758 motherboard? thanks for answers!

Yes it would. However whatever CPU you are using in that board may hold back a 2070 a bit in the latest CPU heavy games. An overclocked i7 2600k or 3770k should do pretty well, a 2nd or 3rd gen i5 less so.

Also it says on the system requirements that i need a "6-pins + 8-pins PCI Express" idk what that means could you clarify for me?

Yes it should pair pretty well with a 3770k.

The GPU requires 6 and 8pin PCIE power cables from your power supply. The image below shows a 6+2pin pcie power cable this can be used as a 6 or 8pin cable to power your GPU. Post the make and model of your power supply and I will let you know if it will support a 2070.
