The 1660 Super is about 30% better than an RX 580 and can still fit into an 800 USD (-ish :P ) build.

It would have been better suited in Graphics Cards or New Builds and Planning, but if the moderators feel like it has a better spot there, they will move your thread.

But please post some more context to know what you're dealing with.

Changed around the build a bit and you could fit an RTX 2060 into this build:

A 2060 Super was not quite able to fit into this build.

To be honest, I think the other build is a little more balanced, this build is just more focused on GPU power
