    That meshify c is an excellent case. My wife has got one and it looks too good.

    They have pretty much similar vrm solutions. But the tomahawk sports a larger heatsink. Also, tomahawk is atx and mortar is matx. 
    Have a look at this tier list...
     
    You won't go wrong if you go with either of them.

    A lot of this just seems so unnecessary for a mid-range build. A lot of the things you seemingly added for an upgrade path can easily be upgraded itself and is crazy overkill. Just some examples,
    I'm pretty sure for just gaming there's no reason that you'd ever need to upgrade from a 3600 on the same platform for however long AMD still supports AM4. This means you really don't need a higher end motherboard.  Ram you do not need more than 16gb. I'm still running 8gb on a mid range build and even though its like $30 for another kit (1/3 what i paid for lol) I just have never reasonably run out of ram. Also you don't need the "amd optimized" ram running at 3600mhz any 3000 kit will do. You can also upgrade it whenever so don't worry about the future You will in no way notice in any common scenario the difference between your already good amount of ssd the extremely fast ssd you have.  The cooling is up to you if you want to overclock but you could get away with a cheaper fan Sorry if I ended up sounding cross but I just want to get my point across. You should really try to save that money for a nice monitor as that's something you have to completely replace when you want a new one. That goes along with a better gpu when you want.

    Considering that nVidia keeps the best GPUs for themselves and both of the cards you are looking are 1660 Super's just go with whatever is cheaper. It really doesn't make any difference, performance-wise, as both cards will most likely boost to the same clock speeds anyway.
