Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my PC and I'm a bit stuck. Right now, I have a GTX 1660 Ti and I'm considering getting an Intel i5-14600K for a solid 3-4 years of gaming. Do you think my current GPU will be enough to keep up with the new CPU, or should I look into upgrading my GPU too to prevent any bottlenecks, especially in gaming? I know a better GPU is always better, but with a budget of $200-300, it really cuts into my savings.

When you say 'good enough,' remember that your performance shouldn't drop compared to now. In fact, you might see some improvement with the new CPU. Sure, a faster GPU would definitely boost your gaming experience, but if money's tight, don't stress about it too much right now.
Honestly, your 1660 Ti might struggle a bit with newer games as time goes on, but there's nothing wrong with using it for now until you can save up more money. I'd suggest saving a bit more instead of rushing into a GPU upgrade right away.
Wait, are you really considering a 14600K? If you're already on LGA 1700, an upgrade like that might not even be worth it. If you're not on LGA 1700, then it sounds like a missed opportunity. The 1660 Ti isn’t exactly top tier, so if you want to play the latest games seamlessly, think about getting a new GPU eventually.
