I am looking to upgrade my old PC sitting at my house. It has i7 3770 & HD 7800, PSU is 550W.

I need it to run AAA games on consistent 60+ FPS. Also I don't want AMD since it has so many driver and BSOD issues.

I have a budget for a GTX 1660, so which one should I get? I need a great cooler on it since the case restricts airflow alot.

Also if I get a 1660 Super, would performance differ a lot? I only need 60fps+.

MSI GeForce GTX 1660 VENTUS XS

Asus TUF

EVGA GeForce GTX1660 SC ULTRA

MSI GEFORCE GTX 1660 GAMING X

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X - GPU: EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA - Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I - Ram: Corsair Vengance LPX 16GB @3200Mhz - CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12S - PSU: Corsair SF600 Platinum - SSDs: WD Black SN750 500GB w/ EKWB Heatsink - Case: FormD T1

Laptop: 2020 M1 Macbook Air 8/256

Then the 1660 Gaming OC is a great option:

I have this one and the cooling is monstrous,I get 73C max with my insane overclock.

the answer is dont get one now , wait for rtx 3000 series cards to come out , which will result in a massive drop in prices of existing GPUS and by then u will be able to afford a rtx card for the price of a 1660
