I wanna upgrade my crappy prebuild. I currently have a GTX 1050 - i5-9400F. I just put an SSD in it (took forever considering I had to tear down the whole PC down to reach the m.2 slot)

 Now I want to upgrade my GPU to a 1660TI, my question is will that GPU fit in the PC? And if it does, what PSU should I get that would also fit?

I just want to be able to play VR games with no lag. And maybe some big titles like RDR2 on high quality. 

Thanks in advance!

    Measure your OEM space with the GTX-1050 GPU installed and how much room you have left over, the same applies with the PS, measure the max space that you have and get the measurements of a new 450W to 650W PS. The GeForce GTX-1660Ti needs a recommended system power of 450W (I would go as big as 650W) and the GeForce GTX-1660Ti is 4.37" high, 5.7" long and takes 2 slots in width on the motherboard. Its a very simple pre calculation and you can get all the measurements easily.
