Gaming system advice with £1k budget

[BillTheButcher]

My GTX Titan finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago after six years of faithful service. The rest of the system is the same age so now seems like a good time to replace the whole lot.

I'm completely out of touch with current hardware so any advice would be much appreciated.

The budget is £1k. I *don't* need:
OS
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor (unless this proves to be a severely limiting factor: its maximum resolution is 1920x1200)

I've had a look at the OcUK bundles. Would a system based around a 1660Ti be a good place to start?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have an SSD, Case or PSU you're keeping?

I've got four SSDs, a case and a PSU but I was planning to replace everything so I could move the old system on as it is.

If £1k won't get me a decent gaming system these days then I can move components over as long as they're still compatible.

I'd also consider going elsewhere for an SSD as you can get a 1tb M2 drive for sub £100

Thank you, @snips86x

Ideally I'm after a pre-built system (I know, I know. Sorry. )

Thanks. That looks very promising. I didn't think I'd get an RTX 2060 for my budget.

Some scarifies have to be made unfortunately. SSD quality and CPU Cooler but given its all covered under a warranty by OcUK, any issues they can deal with.
