I'm looking to upgrade my pre-built gaming PC that I purchased a few years ago. I want something that can handle higher graphic settings for games but I don't need a super high-end build. Here are my current specs:
- Cyberpower PC
- Intel Core i5-10600KF
- 32GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super.
Can anyone suggest which parts I should consider upgrading to boost my gaming experience?

Don't worry about not knowing all the specs! It's totally normal to be unsure. Just take your time checking your system, and feel free to circle back with more details when you can. Everyone here is happy to help!
First, check your PSU (Power Supply Unit) to make sure it can support a new GPU. You'll also want to run a system info tool like HWinfo64 to get a full rundown of your specs. Knowing those details can help a lot when judging which parts fit and what upgrades are possible.
It looks like your biggest bottleneck is the GPU. The GTX 1660 Super was decent a few years back, but I recommend upgrading to something like a 4060, 5060, or a 6700 XT for better performance. Just keep in mind that many of the newer graphics cards come with higher VRAM requirements. You might want to aim for at least 8GB, but 12-16GB is ideal for new games.
