Which GPU I should go with my i7 2600k?

So guys I require help regarding upgrading my GPU, I'm using GTX 760 and I want to upgrade to 1660 but I'm bit worried that my motherboard (Gigabyte Z77P-D3) can handle it even though it does support PCIe.3.0.

The i7 2600K is a tad dated by now, you won't see massive improvements in GPU alone, I'd say a RX 580 or GTX 1660 yeah whichever is cheaper... if you're targeting 60fps with higher graphical settings it should work but if you want something like high refresh 144hz and higher the CPU will hold your back.

 

About the motherboard and PCI-e you don't have to concern yourself with it, all PCI-e revisions are backwards compatible, the card will work... instead of worrying about the motherboard you should make sure your PSU is good enough to feed a more up-to-date GPU.

Thanks for the reply, My PSU is 650 cooler master to so I'm not that worried and yeah I know...  I need to upgrade my i7 but I'm gonna wait and see what Intel gonna release in near future before Buying a new a one.

OFF TOPIC, I read the post.  My question is what is the RX 570 a 1060 speed ?  Back on TOPIC...  I would say go with the RX580 its cheaper and it whoops nVidia for bang for the buck.  So get the 580 and dont look back.

But sadly my local retailer is not with the red team.(http://www.costtocost.in/list/pricelist.pdf) So I have to stick with the green

Update: Got it today played DMC 5 on every setting at highest and got 140 to 160fps but wothout v-sync my cpu temp goes above 90 and with just 78 and usage was jsut 50-60%.
