Need to select a Good Motherboard for Galax GTX 1660

Your psu is poor quality,use it to run 1660 only at your own risk.
Your entire system is too outdated to fully utilize a card like 1660,in fact your system is not even enough to fully utilize 1650.

Mention your budget for processor+mobo+ram,higher the better.There is no mobo below 7k I would recommend to run a video editing/rendering system btw.

For video editing, more faster cores = higher performance. If your application uses Quick Sync, it'd speed the process up on current Intel CPUs. You current config is a bottleneck for your main usage. Correct me if I'm wrong but a gpu would not help you.

Retire/sell off the current config and assemble a new one

It lacks SMT, so will be limited to 6 threads only.

Thanks all for the kind response.

On a friend's advice, I bought Gigabyte b75 d3h motherboard for Rs. 3250/-
He said GPU will fit properly and everything will work without any fuss.

I request you please comment on this decision.

Your processor will become a bottleneck to the GPU you are going to buy.
Its better to go with the above config I specified.
