Isn't the 980ti a bit faster than the 1660?

Not the 1660 super, no.  Super is 9% faster.  Then you could get a new mobo and case with what you saved!  Not giving you bad advice mate.

I see. Well my friend has the GPU already idk if I can send it back. I mean I'm fine cutting the metal bracket. Or maybe even not using a case (for now).

Well your choice bud and that what you just showed me is not the 1660 super, that's a 1660.

And that benchmark site is horseshit, do not trust it.

 

@RONOTHAN## Back me up here please.  User benchmark is fail.

Ah I see. Well idk what I'm going to do. Is there any cons of using a PC without a case for about a month? I mean dust but I can clean it pretty easily.

Use it on a box or whatever!  Just ask on here first before you go buying stuff!

Yeah that's probably the best idea. Wouldn't a box be a bad idea since I'm guessing the back of the motherboard might get a bit toasty? I'll probably use a box then

When I test a computer before casing it, I build it on a box first, to make sure everything is okay.  Don't worry bud, you'll get there in the end with a case and everything, lmao.  I started out the same way, so don't worry about it.

Lol, well thanks. Hopefully everything goes well as I'm hoping it will

Fingers crossed for you mate.  Please can you mark my post as the answer, need to put that as my sig.

Nothing in a computer gets hot enough to worry about.

Also since the GPU isn't a low profile. Wouldn't it sag a bit? All that weight on the PCIe slot. Since I couldn't be able to close the PCIe lock. To hold it up a bit.

It'll just clip shut when you put the card into it.  You could even get something to prop it up if it's that bad.
