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.

Nah, you should be fine. The only other real consideration would be power supply requirements. If you're already running a 2060, a 3060 should be fine.
