Never bring a duck to a cock fight.
I was perusing Newegg the other day and made an impulse buy of a 1660 Ti card that was on sale to replace my old GTX 960. It has since occurred to me that maybe installing this card in my almost 4 year old i5-6400 Skylake PC maybe wouldn't actually get me as much of a performance boost as I was hoping since it would potentially be limited by the old CPU/Mobo.

So what do you think thread? Am I an idiot who either needs to return the card or pony up for some new CPU/Mobo/RAM as well?
