Upgrade my GPU or wait?

[Noobatpcs]

I custom built my PC in 2016,

CPU: i5 6500

GPU: gtx 1050ti

RAM: 16gb ram

PSU: 500w bronze from evga

Mobo: msi h110m gaming

So i was wondering what is a good mid-level graphics card I could buy for high 1080p gaming? I did some research and the gtx 1660 super looks like a good deal for price to performance. If not should I wait longer until the gtx 3060 or something equivlant comes out in the future from either nvidia or AMD (being the same price point).

Being the the price point of 250-400 dollars Canadian.

RX5600XT, GTX2060.

or wait for 3060ti.

or a used 2070 / super.

You think my cpu wont bottleneck a RX5600XT? and will my psu be enough?

I have been tackling this myself as well. I've been looking at the 1660 "family" and it doesn't really get me going for the price. I'm considering either going used 1080 now or wait out the 3060 and see how the 2060 fairs on the used market.

I'm not sure about your cpu, but I do know a 1060 is about the limit of an i7 920

 

Personally I would try it, but like I said I don't have any experience with later model intels. I went from that 920 straight to a Ryzen 3600 lol

Just try it. Upgrade the cpu later. Don't worry about bottleneck, just enjoy.

PSU is ok.
