Hey, after reviewing your choices, you have two solid upgrades: the GTX 1660 Ti I5 9400f B360m and the GTX 1660 Ti Ryzen 5 3600 B450 Aorus Elite. Both fit your budget well. Which one do you prefer, or would you like some tips on which might perform better? Your feedback would be really helpful!

It varies by memory kit. If you don’t use 2400MHz modules, choose Ryzen because the GPUs match. Just remember to upgrade your motherboard’s BIOS for a newer CPU.

You already have the MB and RAM, the 9400F is affordable and won’t drop significantly, it should work fine for the 1660Ti. Option 2 will become more cost-effective, so it makes sense to hold off.

You have 2666 MHz sticks available. It's worth considering a platform switch if needed.

Choosing the 9400F indicates a more affordable setup, as it shows you're not investing in premium MSI Max series or regular max boards.

I can slightly increase my budget, perhaps I can handle the MSI Max lineup.
