I need a good GPU that can pair with the ryzen 5 3600, I'm thinking of the MSI GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC, I'm going to overclock it to it's max as I heard I could make it perform as good as the 1660 ti, Do you think this is the best option for 200$, Please let me know if there is anything better/cheaper than it, maybe and AMD card. Also Keep in mind of overclocking.

The 3200g is a ryzen 3, also the 1660 cannot reach 1660 ti levels of performance, The 1660 super is the one you’re thinking of.

oops, meant the 3600, also I'm pretty sure it can reach similiar performance of the 1660 ti with max overclocking especially that i have the OC edition , I saw someone do it.

Do you think this is the best option for 200$

This is a steal of a price for a GTX 1660 Ti: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/V6CD4D/asus-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-6-gb-tuf-oc-video-card-tuf-gtx1660ti-o6g-gaming

If you need the price to stay under $200 than for new it'd be this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MYMwrH/msi-geforce-gtx-1660-6-gb-ventus-xs-oc-video-card-gtx-1660-ventus-xs-6g-oc

For used I'd look at eBay GTX 1070's as they'll be on that money and a bit faster:  https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fsrp=1&_nkw=gtx 1070&_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_BIN=1&Chipset%2FGPU%20Model=NVIDIA%20GeForce%20GTX%201070&_sop=15&rt=nc&_udlo=200

Yeah, but look at the top card I recommended.  Sure I confirmed that for a hard-limit off $200 that's a good pick, but you do see why I had 3 seperate links.  The 1660 Ti I linked is a stupid-good price considering all Ti's are typically more expensive than a normal 1660, let alone the 1660 Supers.  Buy the 1660 Ti 6 GB TUF OC, nuff said.

God I was tempted to buy that too but the reviews on newegg talk about it running extremely hot, just like the Asus TUF RX 5700 XT that Hardware Unboxed shit all over.
