Hi I am planning on using an i5 10400 and wanna choose between the:

1. GTX 1660

2. RX 580

 

WHICH ONE WOULD WORK BETTER?

the 1660 has more performance, so it would perform better, they both "work" quite well for what they are intended to do.

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

Don't get that CPU. Get Ryzen instead. Much better value, and for the same price you can get more performance.

 

 

Also, don't buy either of those cards new, if for some reason those are your only options, get a used 580.

Quote me to see my reply!

A 1660 is better but you should go with Ryzen.
