You would get a generational (over 70%) improvement from an AMD RX 6600, which are about €210 now. Though AMD RX 7600 / Nvidia RTX 4060 at €300 are better long-term buys IMHO.

AMD Ryzen 5600 (non-x) is also a good CPU upgrade at ~€130, and RAM/SSDs are the cheapest they've been for years - probably best time to stock up on them if industry trends are to be believed.

Thanks for the reply if I went for the 4060 or rx7600 would my psu be up to the job?. I've been reading that the new gpus are power hungry.

4060 uses same power as 1060, RX 7600 uses ~25W more. You'll be grand.

Thanks for your help Kiki now I can begin the search for a 4060.
