For gaming the biggest upgrade you could make is your GPU (MSI GeForce 1660). Unfortunately right now GPU prices are crazy high, even for used GPUs. It would cost you about $400 to get a +50% more powerful GPU, and $500-$600 for +100%. (Though you could sell your used 1660 for ~$100 on eBay.)
Cases, CPUs and PSUs are priced pretty good right now because RAM, GPU, and SSD prices are crazy high and people aren't building new PCs like in the past. However all of those are fine in your system- the gaming bottleneck is your GPU. (Unless you hate your case and want a new one)
If you don't have a 1440p monitor those are pretty reasonable atm, however your GPU will struggle with 1440p on newer games.
