Pc Upgrade

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and I'm struggling to find the best one without having to upgrade my whole pc. Specs I have below.

Amd ryzen 7 2700x 3.7ghz
MSI b450m pro-m2
GTX 1660 super ventus xs oc 6gb
16gb Corsair vengeance 3000mhz
Psu 600w

I probably have around £500-600 budget.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Ideally you would benefit from a CPU and GPU upgrade at the same time. My recommendation would be to get a 5600/(x) and a 6700xt.
Your motherboard will need a bios update before you drop the 5600/x CPU in but that's about it.
You can then resell your 2700x and 1660S to recover some money

With the 6700xt do you recommend a certain version?

A few years ago the main game I fell in love with was Dishonored 2, on my FX-8350 and GTX 970 at a whopping 3440x1440 @ 60 Hz (I was part of the early uptake of UWQHD monitors back around 2016) A while later I upgraded everything and looked forward to revisiting the game, which I did so on my...

I would say the same applies for your system (with the 6800 XT being the ceiling without a CPU upgrade). What model is your PSU?

Thanks it's a 600w essence fractal
