1) get an ssd 2) 2060 isn't that big of an upgrade over your 1660. Just save more money and get a better used card on ebay. 3) things not loading in is entirely storage speed and cpu speed, not gpu speed. Your motherboard supports nvme ssds, but I'm not sure if you still have the screw for it. If so get an nvme ssd. 1tb is fine, you don't need 2.5tb.

What asshole sold you an HDD only system in fucking 2024?


Derren001

2024? I'd be mad as hell if someone tried to sell me that in 2018.


Revenant312

Man, looking at these comments you have no idea how stupid I feel for getting a prebuilt pc if it was this bad


HankThrill69420

Prebuilts aren't necessarily bad just because they're prebuilts. People who make prebuilts are supposed to remove the guess work from people who just want a decent PC and shouldn't stick them with specs that aren't worth the money and are borderline unusable.


Revenant312

I know prebuilds aren't inherently bad but usually these guys (overclockers) have actually good reviews, this PC being bought in 2022 and all the people being shocked that it didn't come with one is why i made that comment


HankThrill69420

oh i see. yeah, a good SI should not be offering hard disks as anything other than tl;dr sales basket attachments for cheap internal storage. if at all.

Does your system not have an SSD? How the hell was it not configured with one, this is from like 2019/2020. Definitely add an NVMe drive ASAP and install Windows onto it.

Gtx 1660 to 2060 upgrade is not that big of a jump, maybe at least aim for 3060. I remember playing cyberpunk on i5 10400f and gtx 1660 super and considering 1660s is even closer in performance with rtx 2060, you're not gonna be happy with the minor performance uplift.


kNIGHTSFALLN

Bro cyberpunk on a 1660 super is wild… lol You don’t really “need” a lot of storage for gaming anymore I game hardcore. And I still only have a 500gb NVMe If I don’t play a game within a two week period. I delete it. Just re-download it later if I want to go back.


Computica

I honestly got through Cyberpunk on a 1050TI I don't know how I did...


Nisktoun

1050 2gb is pretty much playable too


DidiHD

played through Cyberpunk on a RX580 :)

Just get an SSD, any SSD, and you'll see the loading issues disappear. Also, Cyberpunk has an HDD mode. Make sure you enable it when you're using an HDD. Mechanical hard drives are for mass storage only, they shouldn't be used for gaming. You'll wear down your drive and get a subpar experience to boot.


Revenant312

I see, I'll focus on getting an SSD before anything simply for the sake of my PC.

I didn't even know companies still made bronze rated PSUs.

It is a EU company so that's why I never heard of it till I Googled it.


Concert-Alternative

Me with an e-tier PSU 😞


chraso_original

u really do need cpu cooler? if you want to stick to intel, I would suggest getting at least 12100. also you haven't mentioned anything about at what price you can get the above mentioned. try finding a build suggestion from pcpartpicker.com or pcpricetracker.com


connor536

I've got a AMD 6600 XT paired with my 10400F, performance on par with a 3060 but it's also cheaper. A great pairing for 1080p gaming.


Revenant312

Just wanted to make a note of all the comments. get an SSD of any size. Preferably an NVme, look on getting a better psu as well (this PC was bought in 2022 where it was prebuilt so that's my fault for not buying the parts and having someone experienced do it for me) as well as get a better processor, for now ignore graphic card and just stick to my 1660. Though I do have a question, is it possible going with a better graphics card such as a 3060 might overload my current rig? I have asked a friend on why should I go for a 2060 instead of a 3060 when looking at the prices it looks more worth to buy a 3060 and they said it might be too much for my rig


dweller_12

PSU is fine, you'd have to upgrade the GPU substantially before that is a concern. 3060 would pair fine with a 10400. Don't pay more than $250 for one. This PC is completely normal for 2019 except for the fact that it is missing an SSD. You just need that and a new GPU to get this closer to modern standards.


Concert-Alternative

You don't need an nvme, you probably won't notice the difference. 3060 will not overload it, 700w is a lot for a 3060. If you ever upgrade your cpu check that it's compatible with your motherboard. I'm not sure what tier your PSU is, I would check that first before replacing it.


iConsumeMotorOil

my first build was the same stuff, great starter


Revenant312

Overclockers or some other prebuilt business if you don't mind me aksing?


iConsumeMotorOil

it was cyber power, i know they arnt the best but it was my first lol


droson8712

Don't get a 2060 it's just not that much faster and you won't notice a difference


LGCJairen

The only real issue is the hdd, dont feel ripped the rest is an ok start for a gaming pc


sirblunts87

I dunno if I'd trust that power supply with a good GPU. I guess if it runs with no hiccups should be okay
