I'm looking to upgrade my GPU from a GTX 1660 SUPER. My CPU is an i7 11700F, and I have 16GB of RAM. I believe my PSU is around 500W, but I can't verify that since it's housed at the bottom of my ATX case. I mainly want to game at 1080p, focusing on titles like Fortnite (high refresh rate), Elden Ring, and GTA 6 once it's released, plus some streaming as well. I was considering the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, but I've seen some negative reviews about it. What's the best GPU I can get that fits a reasonable price point? I'm okay with upgrading my PSU if needed, but I'd prefer not to if possible.

The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB offers decent performance, but it wasn't the best value when it launched. If you can find it on sale, it might be worth it. Alternatively, keep an eye out for a used 9060 XT or 5060 Ti, as they can be comparable. Just be quick, though—good deals disappear fast!
You should definitely check your PSU to be sure before buying a new GPU. Knowing the exact wattage is key to avoid compatibility issues. Do you have a budget in mind? If you can swing it, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB could be a solid option.
I tried checking mine too, but the bottom part of my case is all sealed up, making it tough to peek at the PSU.
Absolutely! Don't just go for the minimum PSU requirement either; having some overhead is really important to keep your system stable.
