How much is a 1660 super? None of the cards you listed are an improvement on what you have.

As @jms198 says, don't bother with any of those. Some of the cards are slightly faster but not faster enough for you to really notice. (A rule of thumb is that you need about a 30% increase for it to be noticeable.)

The Gigabyte 1660 Super is a small stretch:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Mini-ITX OC 6144MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £229.99

Total: £239.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)

Don't get the single-fan cards as they'll be noisier and hotter. Gigabyte also has the advantage of having a rep here.

Even at 240 that is way overpriced for gtx 1060. If you got a decent power supply and saving the planet doesn't concern you then something like this would be a good upgrade.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte Radeon RX VEGA 64 WindForce OC 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £199.99

Total: £209.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)

The 1660 that Quartz has recommended will do the job nicely then.

And for some reason I've linked to a single-fan card. D'oh! I meant this one:
