Alright! Thanks a lot. Another question... I saw in Amazon.it that there is a i5-9600k at 195€ (i bought the 7500 at 220€ before the 9600k was released). Is selling my actual CPU to get this much better 9600k a good option? How's the used CPU market? 

Not really..only slight improvement and you need a new motherboard. 

 

Put the money to getting a higher res monitor so you can run a better gpu on your current platform with less of a cpu bottleneck

 

Something like a AOC CQ27G1 and 5600 xt. 1660 super is fine but you get free sync with 5600xt. 

 

Then down the line upgrading your cpu and motherboard will have better value

This is my actual build:

-i5-7500

-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

-2x8 Crucial Ballistix Sport Lt 2400

-MSI b250m PRO-VD

...

I want to upgrade my build so that i can achieve 60 FPS on high settings, in games like The Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077.

I upgraded the CPU a year ago (so i don't really want to change it), and now i want to upgrade the GPU. My question is: what is the best GPU (200 - 250 € budget, in Italy) to buy with my CPU? I was thinking of a 1650 Super or a 1660 Super. What do you think? THANKS.

your cpu is not that good for 1080p modern games. mayby rx 580? the best you should get.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Gtx 1080 would pair fine with it. But its also why I asked 

well my 7400 is a bottleneck for my 1050ti at modern games
