Hello,
Currently, my PC is having trouble starting because of the motherboard and the processor, which are old.
I currently have a 2nd generation i5, but I’m going to buy a 9th generation one; my graphics card is an Nvidia GTX 1060.
I’m looking for a compatible gaming motherboard.
Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    Here’s one:
    https://www.amazon.fr/Z390-Carte-Intel-Socket-LGA1151/dp/B07HSCY9R3/ref=sr_1_7?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=carte+m%C3%A8re+intel&qid=1578907398&sr=8-7

    As for compatibility, please refer to the technical support on the MSI website:

    https://fr.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z390-A-PRO#support-cpu

    Otherwise, this slightly more expensive Gaming motherboard might suit you:
    https://www.amazon.fr/Gigabyte-Z390-Gaming-Socket-LGA1151/dp/B07HS4XS93/ref=sr_1_6?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=carte+m%C3%A8re+intel&qid=1578907650&sr=8-6

    These are just examples; you can find them on other retail sites like LDLC or TopAchat.
    You will also need to change the RAM.

    Best regards.

      Not really, recent Gaming motherboards all have the Z390 chipset, the motherboard connections are only used to utilize the CPU's graphics part, this should not be taken into account as the screen needs to be connected to the graphics card.

      No...

      You want a 9th generation Intel processor, but you're looking at motherboards meant for the previous generation of AMD Ryzen processors...

    Hi,
    "gaming motherboards"…
    Sorry, but that doesn't mean anything, really, a "gaming" motherboard.
    A motherboard is a motherboard, whether it’s labeled "gaming" or not doesn’t change anything at equal specifications. Except maybe for some multicolored LEDs...

    But it’s great for marketing.

      Hi,

      Aside from the "multicolored" LEDs... They also sometimes have "optimized" audio chipsets for gaming, but not necessarily great for anything else, or even worse, network cards that are said to be "designed for gamers" with "optimizations" for ping or whatever... But which, in reality, are sometimes crappy models or have awful drivers that, at the first driver update, cause chaos or issues... :-)

        Yes exactly ^^
        And honestly, standard non-special chipsets like a basic Intel or Realtek do the job just fine, I'm not even sure you can actually notice a difference... Especially since the majority of people don't have a good enough connection to take advantage of any potential difference.

        And for audio, I don't even see the point.
        USB headsets use their own built-in sound card anyway, which costs next to nothing.

        And I don't think it's a good idea to take a component used in several areas and label it as Gaming, whether it actually is or just for marketing purposes.

        At least in most cases, a Gaming product is not worse than another comparable one, so that's something.

        It kind of reminds me of Nvidia graphics drivers, you can choose between Game Ready or Studio, and what if you're doing both gaming and editing?? But at least there it can be credible; they optimize a driver for certain operations.
