You might be better off getting a 550watt psu or even a 650watt for upgradabilty path. And also a 5600x would be more than enough for that 1660ti. Otherwise great build dude!

I'd get a 5600(X) or 5700 instead if they're cheaper or not a lot more expensive, no need for the iGPU if you have a dedicated GPU.

Is it possible to step up to a 3060 or RX 6600(XT)/6650? They're only slightly more expensive but should perform better.

I think 450W should be fine, those parts shouldn't draw more than 300W under full load. You might want to get a higher quality PSU tho, but that's optional.

He said he wants an easy upgrade path so if he ever wanted a 3060/3070 or smth then he can upgrade easier with a 650watt psu
