Posted February 25, 2020 Hi everyone, i am new here, and i just wanted to ask you for advice. I spent 160$ on RX 580 8GB, and i recived it and my pc wont boot with it. I checked my psu, its 600w, 8 GB or ram, intel i5, everything is good until i saw that RX 580 cant boot bcs my motherboard is too old, and now here we are, i dont have money to buy motherboard and im stuck with hardware i cant use. So i wanted to ask you for advice, if i sell my old pc for some cheap price and my GPU, and if i get some money, what are the best budget parts for good build that can wait for some time until i save some money for gpu.

If you do, hopefully you don't have an OEM power supply as well. Can we see your spec list via pcpartpicker.com?

Idk what to do, to sell all parts and buy some better ones that can be good for later or to save money and buy better mother board. Im scared that rx580 will get outdated until i save money for that damn motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find yourself a super cheap H61 motherboard or something like that and it'll solve your problems. I mean, people are using stuff like an RTX 2060 with their i7 2600k so the age difference is definitely not a factor.
