Is it worth upgrading from GTX 1660 Super? Recommendations with i5-9400

Hi,

My PC is starting to show its age and my GTX 1660 Super is struggling in newer titles.

My plan is to upgrade only the graphics card for now (without changing the platform yet).

The original build was made on a tight budget, so there are some components I regret choosing, but I still love this PC a lot.

Current setup:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-9400 (6 cores / 6 threads)
  • Motherboard: Biostar H310M
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR4
  • PSU: 600W 80+ Bronze
  • GPU: GTX 1660 Super
  • Storage: SATA SSD

I mainly use the PC for gaming and light productivity.

What current GPU would you recommend that won’t be heavily bottlenecked by the i5-9400?

Is it still worth upgrading just the GPU, or should I start planning a full platform upgrade soon?
