Hello. So I am considering buying a new GPU for my desktop, i currently have a 1660 6GB card which is okay. But I am hungry for a new one. I live in Norway so the prices compared to the US is a littlebit higher. I was looking at this one RTX 2060 and was wondring if this is a good buy? i have a college living in the states ( Oregon ) Who can bring it to me. 

 

Will there been any issues installing it in my "EU" computer? Or do you have any else suggestion to what is Should buy and from where in US ?

Right now I am playing MSFS2020 so in need for GPU power, but also play other games. Dont need 4k superduper stuff..

It will work just fine, assuming your power supply is up to it. 
 

With that said, in the next few weeks nvidia will be launching new 3000 series cards. May be a good time to wait a little bit to see what happens.

Yea got a 750W so no probs there.

Maybe the price on 2080 or something will drop then. Any big difference going from 1660 to 2060 ? other then Raytracing?
