Current configuration details are as follows: i5-6500, 16GB RAM at 2133MHZ, two Samsung 870 Evo 250GB drives, GTX 1050TI Nvidia, Gigabyte B150 HD3P, SeaSonic Power Supply S12II Series 520W 80 Plus Bronze. I am considering upgrading to an RTX 2060, 1660TI or RX 580. What would be the most intelligent choice? I lean toward the 2060 for performance but am unsure if it’s optimal; the 1660 TI is about 110-120 euros, the RX 580 is very affordable at around 60-80 euros. Should I pick one of these options? Links provided for reference.

Not feasible in this area, the nearest used 6600 is out of reach, and 3060 isn't within my budget, so a 2060 should suffice?
