What is your motherboard? What is your computer model if it's a prebuilt like a Dell or HP?

A GTX 1660 will or should work fine with an LGA 1150 CPU, but some manufacturers have proprietary hardware with restrictions in place, usually to stop end users from upgrading components.

You should have no issue with compatibility. The actual issues you might have are not enough space in your computer case and not having a sufficient power supply for the GTX 1660.

What is your computer case model and power supply model?

Nigel94 Is this a prebuilt or custom? If prebuilt, what is the mfg and model number? If custom, please name all the components, including the power supply's mfg. and model number? Also, please take two photos of the inside of your computer; one of the power supply label, and one showing the entire inside of your computer build. Then upload these photos to imgur and share the link here. These answers and actions are necessary for us to answer your question.

Your psu technically is large enough for a gtx1660, as long as it has the required correct pcie connectors there shouldn't be an issue.

Lga1150 ran pcie 3.0, so compatability with that is good, regardless of pre-built or not, that only affected cpus, not gpus. Bios does NOT care at all what gpu you use, it'll run a RTX2080ti or GT710 without issue as it's UEFI.

So the only question remaining is will it physically fit inside the case, length and depth. Some 2 slot cards are too deep for some cases, some 10" long cards are too long to fit inside with the non-removable hdd cages. You'll need to look up case dimensions and gpu size compatibility.
