I want to upgrade from my Asus Strix GTX1060 6GB to a 1660ti but I don't know which one is best, I'd go for Asus again but I wanted to hear your opinion first before buying. I have no space limitations or stuff like that. Oh and I have a 550W psu is it enough? I'm open to other GPU reccomendations, I can spend 360€ max.

The GTX 1660 Ti is not worthy upgrade over the GTX 1060, in my opinion I would at least go for the RTX 2060, and since you have 360 euro then you can do that

But there's this "Super" edition RTX cards coming out in july/august I think? or something, I would advise you wait for that

Quote or Tag people so they know that you've replied.

€360 when the supers are announced will get you a RTX 2060. Even now you could grab a Zotac or Palit on Overclockers.co.uk but shipping might take it a smidge over your limit depending on shipping location. I know CaseKing.de in Germany do €20ish delivery around Europe and are priced similar to Overclockers.

The Vega 56 is also a compelling option, quite low priced Right now.

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

If you could get a second hand 1070 ti, then you would have the ultimate value card. If you want a rtx 2060 I recommend EVGA, because of their awesome service - replacement takes approx 2 weeks from the day you ship.

Second that, used 1070 ti is a real sweet spot for gaming right now in terms of price to performance.  I believe you can find them on ebay for like 300, really good deal

I should have said that before, I can only buy from amazon.it, so no second hand stuff unfortunately. I've seen a couple of RTX 2060 at like 370€ - 380€, I could eventually add something.

After the new "super" generation comes out, the 2060 should come down in price.  Also the 5700 should be a nice deal for you, just wait on it a minute

Buying outside your country severely limits your warranty rights and increases return costs/times.

Absolutely in Europe. I'm in the UK. If I buy something from France or Germany, UK law on said warranties are, as a said, limited severely.

I'm in Ireland and I've never had an issue. Car parts, computer parts, electrical goods, whatever. Never had an issue.
