Hi there, I'm trying to assemble my first PC but I'm unsure if my graphics card will work with the motherboard listed on Amazon. The description mentions a PCI Express x4, but my card uses PCI Express x16... Does this matter? Are there any affordable motherboards that support both types of cards? Here are some options you might find useful: Msi Geforce Gtx 1660 Ventus Xs 6G Oc Nvidia Gtx1660 Grafische Kaart, PCI Express X16 3.0, 6Gb Gddr6, 192-Bit Gigabyte B450 Aorus m AM4/B450/DDR4/S-ATA 600/Micro ATX sokkel. If you have any spelling errors, English isn't my first language, so please forgive the mistakes... Thanks, a fellow Linux enthusiast.

The board includes an x16 port, which is the initial one. It's a lengthy 168-pin connector.

It seems the card should fit because the motherboard supports a PCIe 3.0 x16 connection, as mentioned in the specs.

I would skip that motherboard, as it's quite costly for its capabilities.
