Probably your gpu. A 1660 is a pretty decent upgrade thats only ~$200 USD.

I build computers and networks. Fibre Optic is my only dream imaginable. 

Studying for my CompTIA A+ and my CCNA, if you have any tips, let me know please!

Also, is my pc a "good" gaming pc or is it trash? ;D

It's definitely not trash.

 

Easiest upgrade you could make is getting a new graphics card, though what you should go for will depend on what budget you have and what PSU are you using, so these two bits of information could be real useful for us to help you.

just FYI, a pcpartpicker.com list takes up a lot less space than CPU-Z screenshots, and we can get things like your PSU model and the like

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?

There are a lot of 80+, 550 watt PSUs that are crappy. Still, if it's all you can get, just slap an RX 570 in there and call it a day, or an RX 580 if you wanted to spend a bit more. Although we don't have a budget for what you want to spend.

Ok! Thanks! I have around 100-350 usd, be in mind I will buy used parts, so if there is any used parts for around 100-350, my psu is ”okay” from what i have heard!

Considering the VS550 and your budget I'd probably suggest going for an RTX 2060 or something below that.
