Gpu lesser possibility because of space constraint and psu

Take note of the power supply when upgrading to RTX2060.
Downgrade to Win 10 this generation perform better on Win 10 than 11.
You can also consider upgrading to Intel i7 8700.

I feel the CPU is still relevant now. But of course it depends on your usage.

My son pc i7-4790k, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060, 512GB SSD Nvme, playing GI, Valorant using high setting no pbm at all.....(1080p)

but if playing destiny 2, it might be more resource hungry than the other 2.

Just saw Halo Infinite on steam, dun tik RTX 2060 can run smooth on high setting too. recommended is RTX 2070.

You have to take note the CPU is very old, if you pair with recent graphic card like RTX 2060
there will be CPU bottleneck.
GTX 1060 is just OK pairing to tap on this card full potential, it's best to pair
with Intel 6th/7th generation PC.
