The 1660ti is quite the jump from the 680, for a lot less power draw. What price are you finding it for? 

 

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Try this instead

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07NHC49R4/?tag=pcp0f-20

A good chunk of change cheaper, while still being a huge upgrade. The strix model is a high end card, and the high end cards often have worse value.

i could do that but i wanna get the best i can for the 500 i got i figure the asus overclocked version might give me abit more head room. im not sure what the amd side looks like. ive checked into rtx 2060 and doesnt compare and over budget

Here's a 2060, I'd recommend this one instead

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/mCx2FT/evga-geforce-rtx-2060-6-gb-xc-black-gaming-video-card-06g-p4-2061-kr

Or this one

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/kfWfrH/zotac-geforce-rtx-2060-6-gb-gaming-video-card-zt-t20600d-10m

 

The competition from AMD would be the RX 5700, but all blower models until end of August.

Don't waste money on the expensive Strix model. You'll get 1-2% better performance at most. It's not worth it. Save yourself the money and get a cheaper model.

i got 500$ for the best that i can get. whatever i dont spend on a gpu becomes useless money

There is not such thing as "useless money" - buy a game, buy an SSD, buy more RAM - whatever - use the money wisely and efficiently - don't waste it an an overpriced card that won't perform better than the much cheaper version.

 

Or, if you want to spend it all on a GPU - get a Radeon 5700 when the board partner cards come out in a week. It performs much better.
