Current specs

i7-4790 non k

gtx1060 6gb

500w psu

16gb

 

Basically used for gaming. Was thinking of upgrading to a 1660 super oc 6gb.

The performance that it currently offers is good enough for me but I would like to get a decent boost in the fps department.

For instance on Warzone, im currently averaging 75+ with max settings and some things disabled.

 

Or should I just upgrade to an entire new system?

I do plan on getting a ps5 so this pc wont be my only means of gaming.

If your system already does what you want from it, I don't see any reason to pour any additional money into upgrades for it.

If it's good enough for you then there is no need. If you do want to upgrade, I recommend just sell the system whole and use the money to buy a brand new system.
