ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - Computers Does This Look Right? Upgrading a PC *N00b Alert*

all GPU slots have been standardized to PCI-E for about 18 years or so. It will plug right in and go.

Your PSU is overkill for that setup, and will plug up just fine to the 1660.

For 1080p gaming, with that setup you should be able to play everything on high settings within reason at 60~ FPS. Only exception would be 'future proofed' stuff like RDR2. That CPU is a good pairing with a 1660, but overall, higher resolution gaming is always going to be CPU limited, ie; if you had a 2080ti, at 1440p plus, its the CPU that will determine the framerate in most situations, as the GPU is going to give whatever FPUS the CPU can handle.

I am rambling a bit here. 1660 is a perfect pairing for a non OC 6600 and should make for high quality 1080p gaming.
