A 10700F would be a very odd choice if you wanted to go with Intel.

What's the use case for the system, and what is your budget (and currency)? Are you building a whole new system, or just doing a platform upgrade?

workload? if you're just gaming, either a 10600k or a 3600.

and i wouldn't go for a locked intel chip. and if you already have an am4 board just go for the 3600.

Or, if you don't mind waiting for a little longer, next-gen CPUs and GPUs are set to release in the following months. Nvidia for example will most likely announce their new Ampere GPUs at the end of this month, so if you don't need to build the system right now, it might be worth waiting.

Work, yes. Be faster, NOOOOO. 5700xt is about equale to a 2070.

Once aain, YES it will work. But you gave a budget, and that is a gpu for your budget.

WDYM, like keyboard/mouse? Monitor? You need to include that with your budget, or it is assumed that you don't need them.

If you need more mass storage on the cheap, sure. It's up to you.

The 5700XT is much faster, but the 1660 Super costs half as much. They're not in the same category at all.

 

I'd suggest you check out some benchmarks to get an idea of what each graphics card performs like:

https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_1660_super_gaming_x_review,11.html

^ that's Guru3D's review of the 1660 Super, but all the performance slides should also include the 5700XT, as well as other GPUs.

For Esport titles, like Valorant, Overwatch, CS:GO, etc., the 1660 Super should be plenty. If that's all you play and you need to also fit peripherals into your budget, sure, go for the 1660S.
