I think I may have gotten a faulty machine, but I'm eager to see if there's anything I can do to get my old PC running smoothly. It struggles to even run Minecraft. I'm not entirely lost since I plan to use it for media in my living room if it turns out to be unusable. I'm familiar with building PCs, but I'd appreciate any tips from more experienced users. Here are the specs: I7 4770s, 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3, Nvidia GeForce 1660 Ti (6GB), and a B85 G41 PCmate motherboard.

First, you should check the temperature of your CPU and GPU. Make sure your drivers are updated and confirm that your system is using the dedicated GPU instead of the integrated graphics. That setup should handle Minecraft without any serious problems.
Consider upgrading to 32GB of DDR3 RAM and adding a 1TB SATA SSD, like the 870 Evo. Also, think about a Wi-Fi 7 PCIe adapter or USB adapter to improve connectivity!
