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

Out of those the best cooler is the MSI Gaming X, but that doesn't mean you should get it, as it depends on the price which you didn't give. But if possible you should wait at least till Nvidia launches the new GPUs, as it could affect pricing.
