Specs Check

For the budget I think the storage solution is decent, you could upgrade to a 1TB SSD if you plan to play especially large file games (GTA, COD, Warzone etc) , although that does raise the price back to £1,137. If you don't, the 512GB should be enough for Windows, programs and some smaller games. And a 2TB HDD is only £13 more for double the storage and 4X the cache and something I'd recommend considering (which you could also put your larger file games on, although load times will be slower)
How much slower precisely? Just curious. Would getting a 2TB HDD and a 512GB SSD be fine? Could I store larger games on my SSD and the OS, and all the rest on the 2TB HDD? Oh and would upgrading to the 2060 be worth it? Or is that going into 1440p gaming territory.

The 2060 would do low refresh 1440p at middling settings but would crush high refresh 1080p with no problem.

Would the ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING be fine with this build, and for future upgrades. What Motherboard should I choose? :)

Motherboard is perfectly fine as it is and doesn't need changing. If you wanted a STRIX board, I'd advise going for the B550-F and adding a WiFi card.

@SpyderTracks OP did put forward a build above which I then made some recommended changes to. The price for theirs was £1,158 and they wanted to make it cheaper so I managed to get it down to £1,093. Spec is below.

One last thing. Would it be better to go for the Wifi MBD or a non-wifi MBD and a wireless card e.g. the AX200. In terms of saving money

I think the wifi mobo has that card built into it. If you go with the non wifi, they add a separate card.

One last thing. Should I go with a wifi mbd or a non-wifi mbd and a wireless network card to save money? Would the speed be significantly lower. That's my final question.

The WiFi board has the same technology as the AX200 WiFi card we’d recommend and comes out £4 cheaper. I’d go for the WiFi mobo, it’ll be perfectly good for your needs as long as you don’t forget to plug in the antenna!

Uh. It seems the 1660 Super has increased in price by like £20 or more since it's more than a 1660Ti at the moment on PCS. Should I wait for it to go down in price, or?

Depends if you feel the cost is worth it... it might not come back down in price anytime soon, it might even go up in price further... the rest of your PC might also change in price....

Not something I honestly think anyone here can comment on ... its really up to you...
