Hey all, been a while since i've used toms hardware forums. I am building a new pc, I am sourcing the RAM, CPU and storage from an old Dell Optiplex 9020. The parts I am using from it are an Intel i5-4590 and 8GB of DDR3 RAM (yes old parts) which I most likely will be updating to newer budget components like the i3-12100f and a new motherboard.

With this system, I want to be able to run Sons of the Forest on ultra/high at 60fps, as well as GTA and Phasmophobia, and other games like that but they are easier to run so not as concerned with those. I will be playing Sons of the Forest on a 1080p 144hz monitor.

In my area an RTX 3050 8GB costs around $350AUD, But I have found a used GTX 1660 Super for $200. Which should I go for? If neither, or if there is a better GPU, any recommendations? thanks alot guys.
