Hey everyone I'm really new to the computer building scene. was wondering if there was a way for me to know if my motherboard. Was able to use a RTX 3000 preferably the 3070 or is it jst worth holding onto my 2060 or does other factors play into finding out whether it is worth it or not

PC specs:

Ryzen 9 3900X overclocked to 4.3-4.4 GHz

You would struggle to find a modern graphics card that is not compatible with a modern motherboard.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yes your motherboard will be able to use an RTX 3070
What you need to worry about are your power supply, your case and a lesser extent, your CPU.
Make sure you have enough power, (I believe 650 watts for RTX 3070 but don't quote me on that)
That you have enough space in your case and that you have a balaced system to use the power of the card.
