Budget (including currency): 1500 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: It's just a gaming PC. Using it to play the newest games smoothly with out going overboard. 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

My current build

Case: Thermaltake Versa H21 Black, Front USB 2.0 & 3.0 

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8 core 3.6ghz

Processor Cooler: AMD Wraith Spire

Motherboard: ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming AM4

Memory: 16GB (dual channel) Off brand RAM 2666MHz

Graphics Card: Sapphire RX 5700XT

Storage: 1TB HDD + 1TB SSD

Power Supply: 700 Watt Seasonic

OS: Windows

 

What I want to do is upgrade the rest of my PC and give the 1660 TI and Ryzen 5 2600X to my girlfriend (as well as a lot of the components listed above) so we can build her a computer. My goal is to upgrade to the PC with the specs in this PCpartpicker link: 

 

With that being said I am open to suggestions because I may not have thought of certain aspects you all have. I already have the graphic card, and processor listed in the link so those can't really be changed. Thanks for any help given!

Looks good to me.. the PSU is a little bit overkill though. 700W would be more ideal, if you're going to use an RX 5700XT. Save yourself some bucks.

I thought about that but eventually once the GPU apocalypse ends I want so have a little room to upgrade. I wouldn't have an issue with with downgrading that to upgrade something else slightly more. What I really want is a In Win Infinity but the only one I have seen online is an old display model with some minor cosmetic damage on ebay for 425 and that is just a lot for a case even though it is really nice.

Wait, what does the case have to do with the PSU? What would you want to upgrade to when the GPU stock gets back to normal?
