Hi,
My current pc specs are Intel I7-6700k + 32gb ram, Gtx 950, and Asus Z170 pro gaming/Aura MB. Monitor resolution is 1920 x1200. I dont play games and don't do video editing. I edit using Photoshop, Capture one and Corel Painter. Is it worth upgrading the GPU? I am considering a gtx 1660.
Thanks

Because the software you're mainly using isn't very GPU bound, I wouldn'T expect a huge performance uplift from such an upgrade. The added VRAM might help a bit, but a faster CPU will net you the biggest difference. You'll need a new Motherboard for it, though.
