BUYING A NEW GPU

[blackviking03]

I am planning to buy a new PSU which will be this one: https://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/1543

And after buying it I will have some leftover cash which I will use to buy a new GPU

I have a 24" LED 1920x1080 Monitor.

 

My CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (non-oc)

RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200Mhz

 

Can you help me choose?

I am currently thinking about buying something like a 1660 or 1660 Super.

This specific one caught my eye: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N166SGAMING-OC-6GD#kf

Are you sure? I don't want to fry my PC.

560w 80+ silver PSU is more than capable of running a R5 2600 and either of those GPUs you're eyeing. Even if you took the extra $80 from the PSU and added it to your GPU budget to bump yourself up to an RTX 2060 range card, your PSU should handle it just fine.

peak power of overclocked 2600 with 1080ti was measured at about 380 watts. i very much doubt youd get close to that with 1660

It is very expensive in my country, and it would not fit into my budget.

Croatia, the 1660 Super is like 2000-2300 KN, while the RX 5600 is like 2800 KN to 3000 KN.

Ok... So what should I do?

Do i need to buy the Be Quiet PSU, because the other two guys said my current one is enough but some other people told me i should replace it.

You should be ok, if you have issues you can order it later

That's actually a pretty decent PSU... There is no need to upgrade it unless you were going to something like a 2080ti with an Intel CPU.

 

A 1660 Super is probably your best bet.
