A gtx 1660 6gb? It's ₹19240 currently

If you want under 15k then I would suggest the 1650, there aren't a lot available around that price range online

How about AMD radeon cards? they're comparatively cheaper.
Hows Radeon RX570 ?

I wouldn't buy anything that uses more power with that low-quality power supply in the mix, so I'd shy away from AMD GPUs in this situation.

Radeon RX 570 only reccomends a 450W PSU

I didn't say anything about the wattage. The Cooler Master Thunders were very low-quality PSUs, not the kind I'd want to be pushing with expensive equipment.

which PSU do you recommend? if i'm going to buy an AMD card

 

[DSzymborski]

The Corsair CX series tend to be the least expensive worth purchasing. With a safer PSU, I'd be willing to power any single GPU on it.

AMD cards don't have a good market in India, they will be a bit expensive and hard to find

The RX570 is a couple of years older right? does that compete well with the ones that released this year?

I was thinking of getting a GTX 1660ti from MSI and i noticed the Interface is PCIE x16 [3.0] and my board says it supports PCIEx16 [2] is that going to be a problem ?

Not really a problem. We're still not using all the bandwidth of 3.0.

It's not a PCIE issue, but are you planning on upgrading your CPU platform at any point? If not, an RX 480 is about as far as I would go with an AM3+ CPU. Your gains past that will be very marginal and I'd hate to see you spend money on performance you can't benefit from.

CPU not right now, but in the future i may. So, RX570 wont benefit much in my rig?

If im going with GEFORCE which one should i go for? something that will work well with the rig that i already have.
