What price are you actually paying for the 1660 Super?

 

That case is extremely dated.

 

If you can get the 5600 non-X for less, do it, the performance difference between the two is negligible. 

 

 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

It's over budget because OP listed the (absurd) current new price of the GPU when they're buying it used for much less, which makes things confusing.

I'd still pay the extra 50 chf (about) for a 6600 since in gaming it will perform much better

150 CHF converts to a little over $160 USD. That's way too much for a 1660 Super in my opinion. Those (and 1660 ti's) are going for $100-120 in my local market.

Then the RX 6600 is a way better purchase.
