change that psu. completely unnessesary and very overkill for your specs. 

Please do not build a system right now. AMD will release new cpu's soon that are expected to be better than intel in every way and cheaper too.

I would say for a $1,400 build, a 1660 Super and a last gen CPU is bit underwhelming.

The more I learn, the more I realise I don't actually know anything. 

 

Recommendations: Lian Li 205m (sleek, pretty decent airflow for a non-mesh front panel and cheap), i5-10400f (Ryzen 5 3600 performance, 20% cheaper), Arctic P14 PWM fans, Logitech g305.

I would highly suggest a couple more weeks for AMD's RDNA2 GPUs (and Nvidia's RTX 3070 though that'll come in at $499+) to release, since you'll likely be getting a lot more for your money.

This is the wrong forum to even ask about Intel, all the fangirls of AMD come out of the woodwork and scream AMD! AMD! AMD! at you until you give up and go away in confusion.

For the record, your build is fine IMO.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
