With an RTX 2070 which scores 14,000 on the 3D mark I have my sliders set back from max to get reasonable frame rates. With an GTX 1660 at 11,000 being generous you're expecting to have the sliders set to max?
Choose your content carefully and you might even do it.
Have fun and I'm sure the thermal paste on the GPU will make a difference. My video cards are just slotted in as they come.
A dell with an i5 and a GTX 1660 is $809 by the way. I suspect the thermal paste is the expensive bit.
