I would do this, that way if you wanted you could save up a bit extra and upgrade to a 2000 series or 3000 series CPU in the near future.

Get a ASRock B450M-Pro4, a Corsair CX 550W 80+ Bronze and use the remainder budget to buy a RX580 (preferably 8GB) from eBay or something. Boom, 1080p@60fps beast ready to go.

Wait for the SCREAMING! OK, so everyone is upset that you got a A320 MB and a cr@p PSU. If you can't find a nice used GPU, I would just get a GTX 1660 or 1660ti and put it in your current system. So here is the risk. That PSU could go at any time and take the rest of your system with it. Are you making back-ups? You should be doing that anyway of documents, photos, etc. It could take out your new GTX 1660ti. That would be a real bummer and that's the major risk (other than burning your house down, of course). What if it takes out the rest of your computer? Well, you need a new PSU, MB, CPU, and RAM anyway so not much loss there. Do you feel lucky? If yes, than I say go for it, and happy gaming.

Better than the GTX1060 but not quite the 1070 (1070 is actually lowkey a really good GPU)

That link doesn't show your list to anyone else. You can click on the [BB] at the top, copy, and then paste it here in the forum.

The 1600 comes with a cooler, so you don't need the extra one. I wouldn't get an ITX MB unless you are building an ITX computer.

Are you  in the US? Are you near a Micro Center?

If you are going to build a whole new computer, I would probably wait until Ryzen 3000 on July 7th to see what's available and if prices go down some more.

That's right. You can mark parts as already purchased or assign them 0 dollars in pcpartpicker (click on the sprocket next to the part)

 

So it's a  new GPU, MB, case, and PSU?  I would look for a mATX board. I assume that you got a 750W PSU for future expansion.  I understand that the case doesn't have the best cooling. I'm not sure how the 180W RX 580 will do in there. It may be fine, I just don't know. The NVidia 1660/1660ti is 120W and may be better for that case.

An RX580 isn't a huge upgrade when you consider it's comparable to a 1060 and OP has a 1050Ti already. I would say that an RX590 or 1660Ti would be the minimum performance jump to justify the spend in my books and really I would look more to a Vega 56 or 64 if I were gonna spend the money.
