Hello there, I'm looking to upgrade my old rig (GTX 770 old) to something a wee bit more modern. The purpose of the system is mainly for 1080p gaming for the next few years. Anyway, this is the system:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard: Gigabyte - B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX
GPU: GTX 1660 TI (or RX Vega 56 or RTX 2060 ???)
RAM: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666
SSD: Kingston - A400 480 GB 2.5"
PSU: Cooler Master - MasterWatt 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX
Case: Thermaltake - Core V1 Mini ITX
Monitor: AOC - G2260VWQ6 21.5" 1920x1080 75 Hz


A couple of things I just want to add:

My budget is around £850 although I'm willing to go over.

I'm unsure about the GPU. I've seen a couple of Vega 56s floating around the 1660 Ti price and at the same time I'm tempted to shell out extra £70 for a RTX 2060. The idea here is for the GPU to hold out for a couple of years, so I'm not sure if the 1660 is the right choice. Although I prefer Nvidia GPUs (Gefore experience, shadowplay etc) the Vega is making me wonder.


Cheers!

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £859.15 (includes shipping: £12.30)


with VEGA 56, have to look for a 2 slot design to fit in 90% of ITX cases.

worth having a look at this!

Would you not be better off getting a second hand 980ti? It would cost a lot less and would afford you the ability to play at a higher resolution in the future, should you desire. Also, I'd be more inclined to get a 650+ EVGA Supernova PSU; having a little more than required is better than finding you don't have sufficient.
