Hello! I need to upgrade PC and i think that new gpu will be the best solution for my setup. My budget is $250 so i was thinking about GTX 1660 but im not quite sure if its gonna fit well for other components. Please give me some advice or recomendation for best gpu in this price. My current setup below:

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
CPU: i5-4670 3.40Ghz
GPU: Radeon HD 7870
PS: Thermaltake Smart SE 630W
RAM: 8GB

Hi,

I think a 1660 series card would be a good fit for that machine - although it does depend somewhat on what type of games you want to play at and what settings.

For 60 fps ultra settings the i5 4670 should be fine, it will probably hold a 1660 / 1660 Super card back a bit though if you are looking for high frame rates (e.g. CS:GO and so on or if you want 1080p 144hz).

Also there are a lot of games out there that will struggle on 8gb of ram, so you should probably look at upgrading that to 16gb.

Thank you for the answer! My aim right now is CoD Warzone and Dirt Rally 2, also im looking forward for Riots Project A. Im open for future upgrades but i guess that for my budget right now the best option would be investing all in GPU?
