Should I upgrade?

[TheRiskk]

i currently have a gtx 1060 3gb mini from gigabyte and i wish to begin streaming games such as BFV and other AAA titles alongside CS:GO and so was wondering if its worth selling to buy the new GTX 1660? or would it be better to upgrade my Ryzen 1600x first, thanks

the CPU is what you need for streaming, the 1600x is likely up to the task.

If you want to play at higher settings, yes.

high settings in battlefield is likely pretty hard on the budget 1060 3gb

I would also upgrade the GPU, the 3GB VRAM is really the main problem here. It just doesn't cut it anymore with the modern games, especially the ones you mentioned.
