Yes your motherboard supports RTX cards, you can upgrade fine, the i7 4790 should keep up with a 2060 fine enough, specially if you're aiming for 60fps/75fps and if your CPU seems to be maxing out just go easy on multi-tasking while gaming.

1080p?

You would be better off saving some money, only a handful of games support ray tracing and while yes its the future of gaming its going to be a while before more games support it upfront.

I suggest if you are doing 1080P do a cheaper card like the RX 580 of if AMD is the devil to you a GTX 1660

I know ray tracing is a big buzz word and why many are buying the RTX cards, but that's a big investment into something that not a lot of games support.
