[SOLVED] Upgrading a GTX960

[Tsae82]

I am looking to upgrade my GPU (GTX 960) - ideally i would like to be able to play Cyberpunk with medium - high settings and stable FPS.
I mostly play Overwatch on low settings which is not very demanding but Overwatch 2 might require a bit more from a PC.

Country: Norway
Budget: 200 - 300 pounds (some flexibility here)
Specs:
Corsair VS550 550W KPC Bulk Edition
Intel Core i5-6600K Skylake Prosessor
ASUS B150M-A, S-1151, BULK, KUN PC-PROD
Kingston Value DDR4 2133MHz 8GB
ASUS GeForce STRIX GTX 960 4GB

Fairly dated PC nowadays I imagine but seems to do the job.

Any help appreciated.

How old is the PSU? Is it the unit with the orange label/stickered part? Ideally you should've gone for a Z170 chipset board to take advantage of the processor and added in a DDR4-3200MHz ram kit.

You're looking at, at least, a GTX1060 or higher as your GPU upgrade but I would be wary of that PSU since it's technically bottom of the barrel grade PSU's.

Thanks for the quick reply Lutfij.

The PSU is about 3 years old. The label shows the VS in orange text and the 550 in white text. I am not at home right so cannot check thoroughly. I could happily upgrade the PSU but would like to keep the budget to 100 pounds. Any recommendations? I understand that the Motherboard is not ideal especially in relation to the ram speed - i feel like this was a costly error but at least I learned from it.

Would there be any downside to getting for example the following:

Gainward GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
