I’ve got a 2060 gpu in my desktop and I want to upgrade to atleast a 3060. I’ve been using pc partpicker to check compatibility. Is there anything else I need to check before I buy a new card? Like I’ve got a Asus B560-plus motherboard and it seems that the 3060 card is compatible. Anybody got advice on any other sites or software to check so I don’t fuck it up? I’ve replaced most things on my pc except gpu and motherboard.

    Buy a used 5090 off amazon. Buy 5090 off ebay that is being sold as “for parts not working”. Recieve 5090 from amazon, unpack it. Repack the broken 5090 as the amazon 5090 and request a return with amazon. Return broken 5090, keep working 5090, get gift card from amazon for price of working 5090. Buy new mobo, 9950x3d cpu, 4qty gskill 24gb 8000 sticks for 96gb 8000 of total ram, 4tb ssd. Orrrrrr do the 5090 trick for each pc component and upgrade whole build for the price of the silicon-less for parts ebay price on all used like new components.
