Installing the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 in My Streaming PC Build
It's time to install the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 in my streaming PC build, and I'm excited to share this process with you. As I mentioned earlier, this is a bit overkill for a shimmy PC, but why not, right? I've always believed that if you're going to do it, do it right.
As we started our streaming PC build, we began with the motherboard, then moved on to the processor. Now, we're moving on to the GPU, and I'm eager to get this installed. Let's unbox the GPU and get started. This is a beautiful device, and one of the primary reasons I chose it was because it has RGB lighting. Why would you buy a component without RGB? It's just not the same.
Now that we have our GPU, let's slide out the old one from my main gaming PC upstairs. The GTX 1660 is actually still working quite well by today's standards, and I've yet to run into a game that doesn't perform well on ultra settings or high settings. Let's open up the new GPU and get started.
First things first, we need to remove the protective covering from the GPU. This sticker needs to be removed before gaming, so let's take it off. And here are some guys holding this for me – thank you, appreciate it. Alright, now that we've got the old GPU out of the way, let's slide in our new one.
As I look at my new GPU, I have to say it's a beautiful device. The design is sleek, and the RGB lighting is top-notch. This is definitely one of the primary reasons I chose this GPU. And, as you can see, we do have displayports and HDMI outputs – plenty for both gaming and streaming.
Now that our GPU is installed, let's get to work on fastening it into place. We need to align the I/O ports with the screw holes, so let's take a moment to make sure everything is lined up properly. Once we've got it aligned, we can start fastening the GPU in place. This is always fun when working with tight angles and bulky thumbs – it's like a puzzle, and you need to find the right pieces that fit together.
As I put my new GPU into place, I realized I didn't need to remove the top bracket after all. It was just for precautionary measures. But now that everything is in place, let me take a step back and admire our handiwork.
The MSI GeForce GTX 1660 is now installed, and we're not going to worry about power cables or anything else for now. As I mentioned earlier, this GPU is literally what the video title says – just installing the GPU. However, with that said, stay tuned because we've still got a lot of work to do.
We need to install our power supply units, fans, RAM, capture card, and eventually my M2 SSD. And let me tell you, I'm excited about the prospect of owning my own M2 SSD – it's a whole new world of storage possibilities. So, stay tuned for more updates from my streaming PC build, and don't forget to subscribe for more content – appreciate it!

and then let's move on to the next component which is probably the ram i don't think i even need a knife for this very nice it's the processor manual i obviously don't need that anymore and let's slide out the gpu the gpu it's been a long day guys it's been a long day a lot of recording as i hit the camera i am a professional what is this an invite to the emmys huh oh wow they're actual coasters that's actually pretty cool gaming is my life eat sleep game repeat dude nice touch msi nice touch very very cool thank you for choosing an msi product you are totally welcome and we have an msi um graphics card quick user's guide don't need that and lucky the dragon computer workshop it's actually in full color impressive okay this is why you click the video right gtx 1660 baby it's been a while since i've installed the gpu and if you're wondering the gpu i have upstairs on my main gaming pc is the 1080 ti which is actually still working quite well by today's standards i mean i've yet to run into a game that does not let me perform well on ultra settings high settings or whatever the game calls it so here we go let's open up the gpu let's get this thing installed and let's not use it because this streaming pc is still probably a couple weeks from being completed so there you go we got dual fans we can take off this sticker remove before gaming you think here guys hold that for me thank you i appreciate it all right fine i'll take it back so there's a gpu i gotta say beautiful design and honestly one of the primary reasons i went with this gpu is because it does indeed have rgb why would you buy a component without rgb what are you crazy let's install it oh and by the way we do have displayports and hdmi which is plenty for both gaming and streaming i picked this one carefully by the way okay so i literally have my camera and tripod leading against my desk and pc so hopefully that's a good enough angle for you guys one thing i didn't mention is you obviously want to take off this protective cover boom done and now we install the gpu which should be this one and as you can see i've already removed the back brackets that way the i o can properly see their way out it's always interesting trying to do these installation videos and focus at the same time all right we're aligned and we should be able to just push it in next thing you want to do is actually fasten the gpu in so it stays in place it's always fun when you're working with a tight angle like this and fat thumbs and should be in and fasten it with the screwdriver and we'll put the other one back here beautiful nice and smooth you gotta love it and i will be reinstalling the top bracket i didn't really need to take that one off i took it off just in case it doesn't hurt i'm talking about that bracket right there and they have it the gtx 1660 is installed guys that's it i'm not going to worry about you know power cables or anything like that because it's literally just what the video title says installing the gtx and nothing more however with that said stay tuned i'm still kind of just getting started i have to install my power supply units my fans my ram uh my capture card when i'm gonna order that eventually my m2 ssd which by the way i've never owned my own m2 ssd so that should be pretty exciting uh so guys stay tuned subscribe for more i appreciate it and i will see you in the next video peace byenow it's time to install the msi geforce gtx 1660 in my streaming pc build hello guys how are you welcome back my name is david franco from davidoffran.co as well as twitch
