Hi guys

im looking to upgrade my gpu as i want to improve my 1080p gaming experience but unsure which gpu is best suited to my build as i am afraid of bottleneck. My current build:
CPU: i7 4770
GPU: r9 280
RAM: 16gb ram quad channel ddr3
PSU: cx 650m 650 watt
MOBO: h97m pro4

there are currently 2 GPU's im interested which are on sale in my country (AUS)
gtx 1660 ti and RX 5600 tx which of the 2 are better? are these GPU to high end for my cpu and will bottleneck?
only other GPU's ive seen in my price range is like a rx 580 or 1650 ti/super i dont know how much better these are than my r9 280 or if my CPU will just bottleneck these.

also im buying a new 144hz 24inch ips monitor that has freesync, does it mean i should only use an amd GPU?

Please help, any other recommendations appreciated
thanks!!!
 
Solution
If you go all gaming grab the 5600xt, if you do dx12 gaming and do some adobe pp and ae stuffs, go for 1660Ti, or perhaps, wait for 3060/Ti
