I have a decision problem!
My current pc specs is
Case NZXT H500
Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 cpu cooler
HK ASUS Prime Z270-P motherboard
CPU Intel Core i5 6600K 3.5GHz LGA1151 Socket
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Dual fan - 6GB GDDR
Corsair Vengeance Lpx 8GB 2400MHz DDR4
SSD WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB M.2
HDD 4TB
550W PSU

I want to upgrade my pc, but i dont know what i should upgrade. I want a new cpu but my motherboard only support i7 and i5 (6-7 gen), and i also want a new GPU. Im thinking about an rtx 2060. But should i buy a i7 7700 and a rtx 2060, or should i upgrade my motherboard first. And my psu aint the best either. Plz give me help,
All feedback is appreciated

My bank account aint that big ;/

Start with the PSU, for sure. A quality PSU is a must. Even though your ram speed isn't stellar, I would recommend switching to Ryzen, over throwing more money, into a dead platform. What is your budget? The performance difference, between the 1660ti, and the non super 2060 is not that big.

okay, so which psu should i buy? And if i switch to ryzen, i`ll only have to buy a new motherboard? I can keep the other parts of my build? What ryzen cpu should i pair with a 1660 ti, and which motherboard should i get? i dont want to spend over 400 usd but idk

I would start with this, and get some faster ram later. You may need to see about a bracket, for your cooler to work with AM4.
