So just a question. Beginning to save my pennies a bit here and have been looking at reviews and seeing stuff on the new gtx 1660, 1660 super, and 1660ti. As well as the RTX 2060, 2070, etc.
Current system
Ryzen 7 1700x overclocked to 3.8ghz
16gb ddr4 3000 Crucial Ballistix
240gb Samsung EVO 960
2 1tb mechanical drives for storage
PowerSpec 750 watt bronze modular PSU. Microcenter brand, here is the unit. Rated 62 amps on single 12v+ rail

RX 580 8gb XFX GTS Black OC+ if I'm remembering right link below where I'd purchased the card from ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/XFX-AMD-Ra...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Case is a Cooler Master MB511 with 6 fans installed. 3 in front mesh area, 2 in top, 1 in rear.
Last year I got this monitor for about 200 bucks. The monitor may not be exact. Looks almost exactly like it, but mine has blue accents instead of green. But everything else looks correct.

So obviously, I'm running freesync. Got the new Jedi game, fairly happy with performance on the 580 if I turn everything to high. Haven't really used fraps with it to see what exact frame rate I'm getting. But as I'm looking, newer monitor, I'm planning to stay at 1080p for at least a while. Maybe a good year or 2 unless I just get some kind of great deal I can't pass up. Then I can always gift this monitor to my wife for her home office.
But as I look at reviews, the 1660 and 1660 super don't seem like they are huge upgrades from what I've got. The TI might be interesting I suppose. GTX 1070's and 1080's are older stock now. I guess what I'm asking is in the current market, or things upcoming, what should I aim for do you think? I'm not necessarily in a position that I have to upgrade, but in say 4-5 or 6 months, I would not be opposed either. Probably would want to stay in the 200-300ish price range.
Wonder what the 5600xt will be like?
