You can't buy anythign else . Old used cards are even more expensive. ( If there are any)
420 for a 1660! I'd rather get a cheap second hand card or go without for a couple for months to see what happens.

Yeah as you should either go for a 6800xt, which with a bit of searching can be found for a +25% over the mrsp… not cheap but stil it can make sense, if you have the money.
Or, if you don't want to waste that amount of money on a GPU buy something like the rx570 or even rx470, second hand. At 1080p, they can still play most if not all games resonably well.
Buying in 2021 a 1660 for 400$ is really a waste of money I'm afraid..

In this exact time on Ebay there are a bunch of rx470 around, for 100-150$, not exactly a good deal but still better than 400$ for a 1660, at least in my opinion.
Nope . You are mistaken with december maybe or january . Now Used 570 4GB costs around 300 EUR , not THANKS.

Ouch... You can get Xbox Series X for 500 Eur (or a bit more if you pay scalper prices) and you'll get complete gaming device that will run all the latest games for many years and is like 3x more powerful than GTX1660. Oh yeah there's also Game Pass that's insane gaming value. I really don't understand this blind devotion to PC platform that people are willing to pay 420eur for GTX1660.
I build "gaming" rig for my friend and i had to go with 1660 GTX for 420 EUR!. Simply becasue there isn't anything to buy , only from scalpers 1000E+ for anything ....
