too bad it's still overbudget, but I hope it shows why premium cards on a mid range GPU makes no sense.

The RX590 is slightly inferior to the 1660Ti, but much cheaper. And I worked out that build under the assumption you had about $500 for all the upgrades you wanted to do. Which was why I picked the P300 (not much difference to a P350X), the MWE 80+ Gold as well
