According to the intel spec there is a full x16 PCIe expansion slot on that motherboard, which would work with the GTX 1660 Super. The only consideration would be physical space for the card assuming you bought a pre-built with that motherboard that may not be a full size case.

Luckily, PCIe is backwards and forwards compatible, and most any motherboard will work with most any graphics card assuming it can be physically plugged in and powered properly by the power supply 

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Eh, I've seen issues with newer cards that only support UEFI boot on legacy systems. I don't think this board is old enough that will be a problem here, though. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.
