Posted April 27, 2019 I still have the Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 960 G1 Gaming 4096Mb Graphics Card and looking to upgrade to the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6GB Graphics Card, will this be a good upgrade or must I reconsider? My other components; AMD RYZEN 5 1600X Processor 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M1D3000C16, 8GB, DDR4-3000 ASUS PRIME A320M-K motherboard 2 SSDs 535W Bronze Modular PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If able to stretch it a bit, you could get a 1660ti instead. Though you might also want to consider getting another stick of 8GB DDR4. If able to wait a little longer there is also Navi to consider CPU Intel® Core i9 9900K 8 Core 16 Threads Motherboard ASUS® ROG Strix Z390-E Memory (RAM) 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB Graphics Card MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio 1st Drive 500GB Samsung 970 EVO NVME 2nd Drive 1TB Samsung 970 EVO NVME 3rd Hard Disk 480GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 540MB/sR | 450MB/sW) 4th Hard Disk 2TB 3.5" SEAGATE SSHD, SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 5th Hard Disk 2TB 3.5" SEAGATE SSHD, SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM Power Supply CORSAIR 850W RM SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Processor Cooling Corsair H150i Pr 360mm AIO Case: Lian Li O11 Air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not even use 100% of my RAM most of the time. I bought the motherboard because of its form factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
