I've got a 2060 gpu in my desktop and I want to upgrade to atleast a 3060. I've been using pc partpicker to check compatibility. Is there anything else I need to check before I buy a new card? Like I've got a Asus B560-plus motherboard and it seems that the 3060 card is compatible. Anybody got advice on any other sites or software to check so I don't fuck it up? I've replaced most things on my pc except gpu and motherboard.

Maybe I can add but not all GPUs of the same model are built the same. Some are built without fuses and other protection circuits and could fail earlier. Northwestrepair makes videos about these GPUs taking about some of the different manufacturers. Maybe join his discord if you want to get more info?
