[SOLVED] Can I upgrade my 6yr old build to a Geforce GTX1660 6GB GPU without also replacing mobo/cpu/psu?

[peteski44]

Built my old rig 6 years back, been using PS4 for a while , but now looking to get back to PC.....

If I have to replace Mobo to handle new GPU, then advice on Mobo which is compatible with AMD FX8350 and GTX1660 would be great, and I'm really hoping my PSU is still usable... don't really want to start over completely ...

Current spec
Case: Fractal Define R4 Black ATX
Motherboard: ASUS Sabretooth 990FX R2.0
CPU: AMD FX8350 AM3+
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2, AM3
GPU: Gigabyte GTX760 OC Windforce 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Display Port PCI-E
RAM: HyperX FURY Series 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM
SSD1: Samsung 860 QVO III 1TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD
SSD2: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5 inch SATA SSD
HDD: Seagate 1TB 3.5" SATA Desktop Hard Drive
PSU: Corsair RM 750W Fully Modular 80+ Gold

I don't see anything that would stop me from doing it.

...and that's a good PSU.

The CPU...although not the fastest....I think will support the 1660 at least somewhat decent.

So I would try it.

There isn't anything stopping you. The gpu could be used when you choose to upgrade the rest of the system.

Your 750w PSU can run any modern graphics card you might want.

On the cpu side, not only would you need a new processor, but a motherboard and ddr4 ram also.
As little as a i3-10100 would be a superior gaming cpu.
Add a lga1200 motherboard and 16gb of ddr4 ram would total <$250.
Likely, you would go higher.
