Question Graphic card for i5 4660k?

[greds9may]

Hi, Everyone.
Any suggestion please, my current CPU is i5 4690k with 8 Gskill 8 GB ram and MSI Z79 Guard PRO. I am planning to buy a graphic card today. So, what graphic card should I buy? (RX 5700 XT, GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060 or any suggestion please).

Thanks in advance.

I was just planning to add GTX 1060 6gb or a RX 580/590, anyway thanks and learned many things today from your suggestion. Then, let's discuss another thing. What if (IF) I can upgrade the CPU, RAM and MB, what will be your advise, sir?

I would then advise a graphics card, high refresh rate monitor combo now, for the future platform upgrade. The graphics card would be higher end, but dependent on the chosen panel and selection of games.

Okay, thanks, for my needs, what do you think about Ryzen 3900 or 3700 with x570 motherboard from MSI and G.Skill Trident Z with 5700 Xt or 2070 (non super)?

I think those are excellent choices but your needs are still unclear. What do you do for content creation? I know you may have already stated that but I still do not know what games you like to play.

Yeah, sorry about that, I should've mentioned earlier. I will be doing website development and some advertisement. For that, I will be doing some video, image editing and also virtualization using VMware and Virtual box. Regarding games, I don't play that much games, but used to play Euro Truck Simulator, Call of Duty (most of the versions), Assassin Creed (probably would like to play the latest one) and some other games. So, I will be using the computer for most of the things. I think you understand what I am trying to mention. I want your advise regarding which CPU, MB, RAM, PSU and GPU would meet my requirement. Thanks

How much are you willing to spend?
What country are you from?
Do you want RGB?
Are you going to be reusing any components like the computer case or a completely new build of all new components?
Do you have preference on resolution and refresh rate? My recommendation is 2560x1440p 144hz, which is the sweat spot, but if you are willing to spend bank, there are some great ultrawide alternatives.

Around $ 1000 or less just for CPU, MB, RAM, PSU and GPU. My Case is pretty good and can use cheap case. I am from India. So, computer components are very expensive. Yes, 2560x1440p 144hz would be nice (dont know much about resolution). Let's drop RGB for now hehe

I'd hold out and wait for black friday deals, if I were you and I don't know how well they are in India. You could potentially be able to save a considerable amount of money doing so which will allow you to purchase the next performance tier graphics card. This is what i'm thinking:
R5 3600
X570/B550 (If available)
2x8gb kit of 14 cas latency 3200mhz Samsung B-Die memory
650w Gold Certified Power Supply
However now that I know your budget my recommendation has changed to 1080p 144hz for your monitor.
That way if you go with a RTX 2060/2070 optional super variant, you will get good gaming longevity out of that system before an upgrade is necessary and will be able to match fps to the 144hz high refresh rate panel.

Thank you so much for your time. I will save your recommendations. Anyway, Where are you from? Also, 650w Gold Certified Power Supply will be enough for 1 NVME SSD and around 3 X 3.5 HDD right?

I'm from the U.S. and yes a 650w is more than enough. I factored in extra wattage for future graphics card upgrades and expansion.

Okay, thanks, the problem in India is that all the Computer components price are so high even if we order them from Amazon.com. We have too pay in installment if we want a decent components with around 13-15% interest. But, for you guys I think everything is cheaper compare to India. Hehe

Remember you can choose to upgrade your existing system now with an inexpensive card, which will buy you time to save up extra money for a future build. Good luck with purchasing your new system.
