Hey LTT Community,

I am looking towards upgrading my current PC to better adhere to my needs. I will be primarily using this PC for gaming and streaming. I am at a tight $300 upgrade so I want to really only upgrade my GPU. I am fine wjth 1st Gen Ryzen 1600 and a B350M PRO4 motherboard, so that is why I want to upgrade my GPU. I am already getting a decent 144 FPS while playing Fortnite and streaming, but when I stream with my 1060 3GB, my OBS says CPU is at 11% + (lol). So I have been debating over the RX 590, GTX 1060 6GB or the GTX 1660 (non ti). If anyone could help me decide based on the needs given above, that would be awesome. Thanks!

that's just because your using NVENC encoder rather than x264

if you want you can try to upgrade to a gtx 1080 non ti tho it would be hard finding one for a low price so check ebay and try to find one for cheap i know there are used ones just be careful if you buy it cheap there are fake graphic cards in ebay
