Nice one, ta. So we could do with a bit of extra info to assist... what are you using the system for? Gaming, streaming, editing etc? What monitor you’ll be pairing with the build, make and model or resolution and refresh rate. And lastly, what’s the maximum budget for the system?

Okie dokie. We don’t recommend the current AMD cards, they’re a bit too prone to driver issues. A 1660 Super should run anything 1080p at 144Hz. I’ve changed a few bits to optimise a gaming build, more appropriate chipset, faster RAM, better case, a second M.2 so you’ve got a dedicated drive for a load of games which will load super fast. Also chucked the silver warranty on there and the upgraded WiFi card with Bluetooth. Added a higher wattage PSU so if you decided to go 1440p/4K in future, you’ll just need to buy a GPU and monitor 👍
