Question Gaming PC for 370 euros for modern games - is the 1660 SUPER good?

[lowfy]

Hello Guys!

Recently, I tried to put together a budget gaming PC and wanted to spend no more than 370 euros. I used mostly new components and only looked for a used GTX 1660 Super graphics card.

I wondered how well one could still play with a 1660 Super today and watched some tests. I was surprised to see that modern games also run smoothly on it.

For example, CoD: Vanguard runs at around 130 FPS on medium settings in Full HD, Cyberpunk 2077 runs at around 80 FPS on medium details, and the popular shooter Apex Legends runs at 120 FPS on high settings.

What do you think of the gaming PC GAMING PC mit GTX1660 Super, 32gb Corsair 3444Mhz, Ryzen 5 2600x? Is it sufficient for playing modern games smoothly or is the 2600x too old?

That PSU is something I'd throw away ASAP. That case is a hotbox, so you'll be cooking the innards regardless of how the fans are setup in that case.

The only thing of value in 2023 I see in that listing is the motherboard, ram, storage and GPU. There is one thing to note though, if the ram is a Corsair DDR4-3444MHz, you can't get to that speed while on Ryzen 2000 series.

You forgot to mention the resolution at which you want to play the games.

My 2 cents, though.

1660 Super should still be good for many games if you're only gaming at 1080p.

can say that, because I'm using a similar strength gpu, an RTX 3050.
