I was thinking should i upgrade my i5 4430 for my gtx 1660ti because i fear that it might bottleneck a little bit.

the i7 4770, 4790, or 4790S, can all be had at a decent price from eBay, get whichever of those is cheapest to you.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I have a 4930K running @ 4.7GHz and a RTX 2070 Super and I have no complaints. A 4930K is $130+ on Ebay
