Also would a 500watt psu be plenty for the two?

CPU is fine, and 500 watts is enough. Hopefully it’s a decent PSU, but 500 watts is plenty for that.

i'm getting the EVGA 500 watt 80+ also the cpu is fine?

CPU is fine. That’s not a bad CPU for that GPU.

 

Yes, a faster CPU would give you more FPS, but it doesn’t make sense to spend more on a faster CPU since spending more on the GPU would result in even better FPS. It’s all about balancing the build, and that CPU is a fine option.

currently I have a intel i3 10100 (intergraded graphics)

Do I need to upgrade my cpu, please help.

Not until comet lake and rocket lake finally hit the used market, honestly. Save it and get the eventually used 11400F.

Depends on what year of make, but it should be fine overall even with light OC.

i'm guessing that's the W1, in which case it's really bad.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/CC9tt6/seasonic-core-gm-500-w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-core-gm-500

either will do for the 1660.
