It looks like the GTX-1660 is the one to go for, as it seems popular, supported and relatively inexpensive!
Specifically this one: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING OC 6G. I don't know which modules I'll be using. So far I haven't really been using very many but I've recently seen a couple of tutorials using some I've never heard of, and I'm really not very proficient at it, so I'm hoping the speed increase I'm expecting will make experimenting more rewarding.
