They are basically neck in neck in terms of performance with the 590 being slightly better.

Get whichever is cheaper and/or visually appealing to you.

The 1660 is minimaly better, and will run cooler since it is 120W TDP versus the 590's TTP of 225. If they both have a off fan option at lower usage, the 1660 should be able to keep the fans off longer due to the lower TDP, and therefore run quieter (and probably with the fans on too since there is less heat to dissipate.)

I prefer the 1660. Performance are close, but 1660s have better overclocking range and even when overclocked dont draw as much power as the RX 590 at stock

 

As for the MSI Armor model.. The Ventus is quite loud and noise is high pitched, dont know if that carries over to the armor but I hope it doesn't. The only review I can find for this cooler doesn't mention noise which is why I think they arent well known.
