I've got a gaming rig with these specs: a Gigabyte B460M motherboard, an i5-10400F processor, a GIGABYTE GTX 1660 graphics card with 6GB, 16GB of G.Skill DDR4 RAM (2x8GB at 3200Mhz), a 250GB Kingston SSD, and a 500GB Samsung M.2 NVMe drive. I'm trying to figure out what I should prioritize upgrading first, especially since I play a mix of games, and the latest ones are getting harder to run smoothly.

Honestly, all of your components could use an upgrade. If you're looking for the biggest boost in performance for gaming, upgrading your GPU would be the way to go. But keep in mind, if you grab something like the 4060 or 5060, your CPU might hold you back a bit.
Yeah, I get that! I was just thinking I might go for the GPU first and then later consider getting an i7-11700F to pair with it.
