Yeah you're overpaying for the 1660S there. I would also personally get a larger SSD rather than 32GB RAM. 256GB can fill up real fast.

Desktop - i5-9600KF @4.8GHz all core, MSI Z390-A PRO, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz, MSI GTX 1660S OC 6GB, WD Blue 500GB M.2 SSD, Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM HDD

Laptop - ASUS ZenBook 14 with ScreenPad, i7-1165G7, Xe iGPU 96EU, 16GB Octa-Channel 4200MHz, MX450 2GB, 512GB SSD with 32GB Optane

 

Old Laptop 1 - HP Pavilion 15, A10-9600P, R5 iGPU, 8GB, R8 M445DX, 2TB HDD

Old Laptop 2 - HP Pavilion 15 TouchSmart, i3-3217U, Intel HD 4000, 4GB, 1TB HDD

 

iPad 2018 - 128GB

iPhone XR - 128GB

Depending on what you play (what resolution and what games), the 1660 Super might be fine though. It's just a shit time to buy a graphics card right now.

 

But yeah, for gaming and streaming you usually don't need more than 16GB RAM

 No. You can get a better prebuilt with a 3060 in it at least.

Yep. It's going to depend on what offers you can get and where you are in the world. Here for a similar price you get much better components all around.

Part from the poor airflow case this is a good system.

Spec wise they are better but the 5600x 2060 systems use the pc killer gigabyte psu's AND garbage airflow cases.

So i should stick with 5600x 2060 and try to find a better case?

Here's roughly what I'd recommend. For the graphics card, at the moment it's really just get your hands on anything that's not too overpriced or look into prebuilt systems. Any 3060 or 2060 will do just fine. Maybe the M.2 SSD is overkill. You can go with a 2.5" sata SSD and be just fine while saving a buck
