Upgrading GPU and PSU.

Hello.

Recently I have been having problems with artifacts appearing in games. I have tried reinstalling drivers using DDU and it isn't overheating. I have pinpointed it to two problems power supply not giving it enough power or graphics card has randomly decided to start to die. As such I have decided to upgrade/replace these but am looking for recommendations. Personally I have been looking at a 1660 super and a corsair tm550x and later down the line would upgrade my i3 to perhaps a i7. Would these be good for 1080p 60FPS for the future on most games? Could someone tell me what specific 1660 super model it is as well as my monitor has DVI only and while I could get a adapter it would be easier if it has a DVI output.

Thanks.

We love you Ukraine
Any idea how I would return it? Would I send the card or the entire PC?
If you're sure it's the card (which it sounds like it is) then just create an RMA through your online account for the card alone, and they'll ship a replacement in the post next day for you to fit.

To be certain, it's worth doing a clean windows install with option one from here, test it on a clean system:

Ill reinstall windows using the method as you said and if it still doesn't work then ill go through the process you mentioned. Is there any way they could deny a replacement?

In addition to what @SpyderTracks has said they can deny a replacement under the following conditions (see the Terms & Conditions)...

7.9 We reserve the right to suspend the warranty or refuse service if your Case, Motherboard, CPU or BIOS have been replaced without authorisation. Any tampering, repair or modification by unauthorised personnel voids the warranty.
Hopefully none of those apply in your case. :)
