Also, I'm looking to get a 500GB+ ssd, any reccomendations?

Please don't bump posts.
considering it's a 6 year old chip, and the S was a lower power version, its likely it is limiting your FPS, but not really a bottleneck unless lowering settings doesn't significantly improve FPS.

What 500+ ssd would you recommend

 

[ScrewySqrl]

you probably don't have an m.2 slot, so:
any 2.5" SSD from Western Digital, SanDisk, AData, Samsung, Mushkin, or Crucial will be good.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

A low power CPU from 5 years ago will limit a 1660 super, most noticeably at 1080p or lower.

You have no M.2 slot.

I would recommend a Crucial MX500 500gb or a Western Digital Blue 500gb.

No use to shell out for an expensive drive for an older system, but you don't want to get a really cheap dramless one.
