I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup, which currently includes a GTX 1660 Super and a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU. I want to stay within a $400 budget for these upgrades. My main goal is to play games like Kingdom Hearts, 7 Days to Die, Oblivion Remastered, and Ark at 1080p on medium settings. I have a B450 Aorus Elite motherboard and a 650-watt power supply, so I'm thinking it might make sense to upgrade the graphics card first, but I'm open to suggestions on what to prioritize.

If you can stretch your budget a bit, consider going for a Ryzen 5 5600 paired with an RX 6600 XT. This combo will provide excellent 1080p performance even on max settings for most AAA titles. Just make sure to check the current prices for both parts!
The RX 6600 is a great choice for your budget! You can find it for around $200 new, and even cheaper if you check out used options or open box deals. It should handle your games well at 1080p.
Sounds promising! Do you know how much that upgrade typically costs?
