I'm planning to have a ryzen 7 3700x, GTX 1660, 32GB DDR4 RAM. Will this PC bottleneck my CPU or GPU (I will use it for gaming with low settings, streaming, recording and editing videos.) I just want a heads up if my system is going to get bottlenecked.

Your GPU is underpowered compared to your CPU. What’s your full budget?

I'd say the 1660 is the main bottleneck here (not by much though), but you'll definitely be able to play on more than low settings. I would go for a more powerful GPU though.

Oop :/ already ordered the parts though. I am planning to upgreade my GPU on later years and it would be 100 times better than my current PC. (GT 630 and i3-4130k) Thanks for the response

Should've asked us before you ordered lol

Plus, I specifically wanted a nvidia card and that card was the most money/performance efficient for me. I think I have my answer now, thank you guys.

I´d say 3600X and GTX2060 / 2060 Super would be more balanced, but meh... Also, you could potentially save a buck and go for only 16GB RAM and put those money towards GPU. Anyhow, this ain´t that bad tho and will still work well :) 

Intel i5-750@4GHz // ASUS Strix-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5@1410MHz core, 7600MHz VRAM // Kingston HyperX 2x4GB DDR3@1600MHz
ASUS P7P55D-E // Enermax PRO87+ 450W GOLD

would of been better bang for the buck if you went this path

What's your monitor? Getting a better GPU may have been pointless if not planning for high resolution / high refresh rate gaming. Since your stated use case was "gaming at low settings, streaming, editing" your parts' choice may have been a better combination than what some answers suggest.
