Hello guys, I need your help deciding what parts to pick.
I have 2 Graphics card in mind but I don't know which one to pick.
My plan with this build is mainly Game at 1080p 60fps but also I would like to stream these games. So help me clarify my thoughts 'cause i'm currently leaning towards the 1660 I also don't know if the parts combo would be the best for performance. 


Note: I've already purchased the motherboard.
 
I live in ecuador and a friend is coming to visit from St. Louis Missouri, she offered to bring me computer parts, which also determines some of the parts I picked because I have a limit of around 10lb, also if any of you can recommend a store in St. Louis MO (or near) that has better prices for the parts listed feel free to recommend those as well. 
besides getting help with picking the parts I would take advice in how to pack the parts in a suitcase for traveling

Note: I've allready purchased the motherboard.

RX580:

Hands down the GTX 1660 then since it's much improved NVENC chip will provide you substantial boost in performance during streaming at decent quality.
