I'm in a bit of a bind! I recently picked up a HYTE Y60 PC case along with a ZOTAC Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 AMP CORE 4GB Graphics Card, but neither fits my current motherboard. I have 16GB of DDR4 RAM and an Intel Core i5 CPU that I believe is from the 6th or 7th generation. I really want to complete my build, but I'm on a bit of a budget and need some recommendations for a compatible motherboard. Any help is appreciated, as I want to prevent my new GPU and case from getting dusty while waiting to be used!

If you're sticking to a budget, you might look at the ASRock H370M or the Gigabyte B250M, which should work well. They won’t break the bank and will fit in that case nicely. Just ensure your RAM will work with the board.
Honestly, with the HYTE Y60 case and that GPU setup, I'd recommend looking for a motherboard that supports 6th or 7th generation Intel CPUs, like the ASUS Prime Z370-A or MSI Z270 Gaming Pro. They offer good performance and decent pricing. Just make sure to check the compatibility with your RAM and CPU before buying!
Good call! Also, consider the features you want, like USB type-C or additional PCIe slots, just to future-proof yourself a bit.
Thanks for the tips, I'll check those out! Keen to get this build going soon.
