When asking for an upgrade advice from the community, please stylize your thread with information asked of in this thread. You should also mention the app's that you want to task the system with so the upgrades(and the money spent) are worthwhile. Include the age of your PSU as well apart from it's make and model.

No CPU upgrade would be worth the cost, for your current motherboard. Your CPU shouldn't be holding back a 1660ti either, unless you are playing titles that are actually maxing out your CPU. You need to check CPU usage to be certain. What is the speed of your ram, and are they in the proper slots for dual channel?
