Worth is something only YOU can determine.

What is your integrated graphics?

GTX660 is likely a performance upgrade over integrated graphics.
You will need a 450w psu.

I have one. It's fine as long as you don't want to run new FPS games. Games like Civ 6 or Humankind will work fine though.

thank you for that

i was just thinking about taking care of my cpu, so instead of using the igpu i could just use a dedicated gpu.

i dont game, only facebook game, i am just trying to put less stress on the cpu.

It will do nicely for that. Just make sure you get a working one, they all have some years on them (although mine is 9 y old and still working like champ).

Seems really pointless. This will make no difference to the cpu lifespan. It’s already a separate part of the cpu. I’ve actually never seen a dead cpu.
