First of all, I'm fairly new to this. I bought a friends old computer a few years ago running:
Intel i5 2390t
Gtx 660
Pegatron 2ac2 motherboard
8 GB of DDR3 RAM
Generic 500W psu
Works great, but was recently gifted a gtx 980 sc acx 2.0. Immediately I had to replace the psu (EVGA 600W bronze) due to lack of pci 6 pin adapter mine had. Afterwards pc wouldn't boot, and gave me a beep code. After doing research, as far as I can tell it's the motherboard that is incompatible with the card (BIOS?) My questions are: is it work upgrading most of my system for the card? Do I need to upgrade to a motherboard that is DDR4 compatible and my RAM with it? I'm on a fairly tight budget, any tips? Thanks!
