Help with upgrades for prebuilt

[willwill42]

Budget (including currency):

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: games like warzone and valorant

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):  My prebuilt came with a i5-10400f a GTX 1660, 16gb of ram and 500 watt psu I was wondering if these were good upgrades?

Love ABS, but yeah anything beyond this is kind of Ship of Theseus moment. The only thing id keep is the case and the storage, and that is if it is Thermaltake S200 Air because ABS ships on many case of varying airflow performance.

 

But if you want the barest uplift, a new GPU and PSU should do you fine, something like 7800XT is a good pick even though it is going to be a bit of a choke.
