Posted September 16, 2019 Hey LTT Community, I am looking into upgrading my gaming computer to be a gaming and streaming computer. I like small PCs first of all and making this a mini itx build if this might affect anything. My current PC is the following: AMD Ryzen 1600 OC @3.9ghz ASRock AB350M PRO4 MATX Gkill 16gb RAM EVGA SC 1060 3GB I am planning on upgrading to a: ASROCK Fatality MITX B450 NZXT H200 MITX Case GTX 1660 (ti) or RX 590 As i said earlier, I would like this to be a gaming and streaming PC. The only thing is I dont know whether I should use the GTX 1660, the ti version or RX590. Of you could help me decide and/or give me advice on any other part, its all appreciated. Thanks!

Posted September 17, 2019 I think a 1660Ti would smoke a rx590? Yes? No? Maybe? Idk, i think it would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about "smoking it", though. Both aren't worth as an upgrade fornan1060, either. @OP, get a 3600 and save up for an RX 5700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 17, 2019 I would consider upgrading the CPU man. I don't know if it's worth to upgrade from a 1060 to 1660. Upgrade CPU and save up for a better GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 17, 2019 Can your CPU handle your streaming needs with x264 encoding? If you jeee GPU encoding then stick to Nvidia GPUs, AMD GPU's encoding is god awful. As for the GPU... Performance wise the 590 can be kicked out, it's not all that much faster than the 1060. As for the 1660 and 1660ti, they are around the 1070 in performance which means you're still only getting say 50% more fps, not an upgrade I'd spend my money on.
