Fixed: Poor frame rates with a GTX 1660 6GB graphics card.
Hardware details: an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 processor, a Zotac GTX 1660 graphics card, 8GB of DDR4 RAM with a speed of 2444MHz, an ASRock B450 Steel Legend motherboard, and an EVGA 400W power supply. I’m achieving approximately 108 frames per second when playing Rainbow Six Siege at medium settings. Based on my calculations, I anticipate performance closer to 200 FPS.
You’ve taken several shortcuts with the memory.
The RAM speed isn’t optimal for Ryzen processors, leading to reduced CPU performance.
Rainbow Six Siege can demand up to 8 gigabytes of memory; it's best not to utilize all available RAM as this negatively impacts system speed beyond 75%.
Acquiring a dual-pack of 8GB 3200MHz RAM will likely resolve the issue.
I concur regarding the power supply needing an upgrade, though only a moderate one. An 850W unit would support three GeForce GTX 1660s – although that’s rarely done – and I'm merely offering that as a consideration.
A standard 500-550 watt power supply is sufficient for your existing configuration.
You’ve made several compromises regarding the RAM.
The RAM speed isn’t optimal for Ryzen processors, therefore the CPU isn't operating at its full potential.

Acquiring a dual-pack of 8GB 3200MHz RAM will provide satisfactory results.
I concur that the power supply needs upgrading, though only modestly. An 850W unit could support three GTX 1660s – although this is uncommon— I’m simply offering an example.
A reliable 500-550 watt power supply should be sufficient for your existing configuration.
Given his present configuration, however, he’ll be hampered once more if he decides to purchase a 2080TI later on. That's precisely what I was attempting to convey. Why accept a substandard option when he can invest in something superior, and considering he anticipates needing increased capacity eventually, why wouldn’t he upgrade?
Wow. Estimating getting a 2080Ti with their specs? The power supply isn't the only thing they'd be screwed in... It's a good idea, and also for ease of mind to have some headroom, but there's still a point to spending one's money effectively. I'm going to use the 550w and 850w picks from Tom's Best Picks: Corsair RM550X: ~100USD Corsair AX850: ~235USD That's a difference of about 135USD! The OP could either save it, or spend it on an additional storage drive if they need it. Look at my specs in the spoiler. See the 750w psu? And you suggested to the OP: Do you not see what you did? Look at the specs the OP provided. 'Look' at it. In a bare necessities setup with everything loaded - which is not a realistic scenario - they will pull around 350w MAX. With something like this, a 2070 Super and RX 5700XT could even be run with the OP's Ryzen 2700 - it'd pull like 430-450w max. Still 100w+ of headroom available. They recently purchased a GTX 1660. Do you believe they have plans to get a 2080Ti anytime soon? Or any gpu for that kind of cash? They may not be in a position to spend that kind of money - or perhaps aren't even comfortable spending over a fixed amount on a gpu.
