Thanks in advance

What are the rest of your parts?
In particular the make/model of the PSU and it's age.

TBH it is a pretty terrible time to buy a graphics card, not only new, but used as well.

The new AMD cards are going well over MSRP and NVIDIA is mostly vaporware at least up to recently. As a result of so much demand a lot of the used stuff is marked over its real value as well. My opinion would be to tough it out for a bit and wait for the new 9xxx AMD cards to come available at MSRP.

You "might" be able to find a 7xxx card or something back in the Nvidia stable from 40 or 30 series.

There is always Intel...

Your GTX 1660 super performs a bit below the RTX 3050 on the bottom of the list. So anything with about double that performance should be a very noticable upgrade. What are the rest of the specs on your system, and what country are you located in?

thermaltake 700watt psu

What's the exact modelnumber? Thermaltake has some really bad 700w units.

That's a good setup, you shouldn't have an issue getting the most performance out of most of the cards on that list. An RX 7700 XT or 7800 XT should give you a very good jump in performance though. You can also keep a look out for the RTX 5060 ti and RX 9060 (XT) if you will be buying in a few months.
