Looking now to upgrade my GPU, I play games such as R6, overwatch, fortnite and CSGO. Also have a oculus rift s so some vr games included aswell.
Preferably something with RGB lights on top but if not definitely not a huge deal

Budget is £250-300GBP, was looking into the 1660ti it seems like a fairly solid choice.

thanks for your time

You can get an RTX 2060 for £300;
amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MJKTBMV/?tag=pcp0f-21
amazon.co.uk/dp/B07M7PJ3M3/?tag=pcp0f-21
Worth it over a 1660Ti IMO, around 15% faster on average.

If you'd rather save some cash, then yeah a 1660Ti would do you well. Can get a decent one for £250ish ez, plenty of 'em.

Some pretty decent deals on Vega 56 currently;

I'd probably steer clear of the blower style Vega 56 tbh, unless you're looking for the best deal you can get. I'd probably be more comfortable with the 1660Ti or RTX 2060 on your PSU though tbh.
