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.

Just make sure if it has two connectors you have two ports on the PSU for it, DON'T use the daisy-chain cable (the one with multiple end ports on it) for both ports.. The PSU has those separated to different power rails to help against power draw on any one connection.
