so i recently bought a brand new zotac 3070 ti for 300 and a rm750x. i installed them today just to find out that my prebuilt mobo is incompatible. i currently have a i7 8700 but i am looking to upgrade it since i think it would be better to just upgrade the whole chip rather than just get a new mobo for it. i already have a case picked out at $105. i am looking for chip suggestions and mobo. i would prefer the price to be under $550. i can use the stock cpu coolor until i get paid. (i am thinking abt getting a i5-13400F)

#

used to have a 1070 btw

#

its what im using rn since the mobo wont work w/ the 3070 ti

there is really no such thing as incompatible Gpu and mobo. As the dude above me said, it's like usb, doesnt matter if you have usb 3 and plug into a usb 2 or heck, even 1, it will work anyway at maximum speed of the lower one
