Instead of having the 970 Evo NVMe drive, consider a 1TB SATA (Crucial MX500 is a good one) or a cheaper NVMe SSD (Intel 660p is very good value for money).

 

Use the money saved by ditching the 970 Evo to get a 2700X.

Had the same idea as @Phentos in swapping out the SSD, also swapped out the HDD to a 2TB Seagate one as I noticed the original was a painfully slow 5400RPM.

Went with 2700 instead as its cheaper and you can get the same performance as a 2700X via OC

Vega 56 is much better than the GTX1660

Also got you a good fully modular PSU for less money

GTX 1660 or 1660TI are good choices for midrange. Or a used GTX 1080 if you can manage to find one for a good price in your area.
