I'm hoping to (finally) upgrade my gpu from my gtx 1060, but before I do I want to make sure there isn't a different part I should upgrade first. (lemmy.world)

I'm not great at understanding a lot of the technical aspects of the different pc parts, and especially figuring out where any potential bottle necks are. I'm thinking that the gpu is my biggest issue right now, but I'd hate to spend the money and not get a huge improvement in performance.

p.s. I'm leaning towards the RX 6600 for a budget friendly upgrade, but I'd be open to other similarly priced suggestions.

Update: thanks for all of the advice y'all. I ended up spending a bit more for a 6650xt.

As someone who just upgraded from a setup with a GTX 1060 and a 1440p monitor to a 3060 TI - which is something like 25% faster than the RX 6600 - I would suggest getting something a bit faster if at all possible. The RX 6600 is still a pretty good card for 1080p, but the extra resolution is a bit too much with most newer games. Though if you are okay dropping to medium settings or utilizing upscaling it won't matter as much.
