You should consider whether your existing power supply can handle the increased power demands of the upgraded components.
Swapping a 1080 for a 1660 S doesn't improve your losing performance.
1080 shows better performance compared to a 1660 Super.
The garbage group regulated unit lacks proper safeguards and isn't worth recommending in any system.
You have the option to move up to an I7 3700K when your system can accommodate it. Achieving a speed of around 4.2 Ghz would make it a functional PC, though it wouldn’t be ideal for serious gaming at the moment. You’d also need to replace your power supply with a higher quality one. To see a noticeable boost in performance, you’d likely need to upgrade to something like an RTX 2080, 3070, 4060, or even the RX 6650 XT, 6700 XT, 7600, or 7600 XT. Anything below those specifications wouldn’t provide a significant gain, and your CPU would still limit the results. Still, with a solid overclock, you should enjoy a decent gaming experience. You’re likely aiming to construct a new machine for a much better upgrade path. I’ve attached a link to the RX 7600 XT as it offers most of the GPU capabilities discussed earlier, and the RTX 4060 performs similarly in speed tests compared to the RX 6700 XT, making it a useful benchmark.
