I'm currently using a prebuilt system with a second-hand 1660 and an i7 6700k. I'm planning to build a new rig to replace it, and I'd appreciate any input on my parts selection to see if there's anything that needs changing. You can check out my build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nVRY4p. Thanks!

Your build looks solid overall! Just a heads-up, the AIO cooler is pretty pricey, but if you like the flashy lights, go for it! Also, keep an eye on your RAM. Those 6400 speeds are ambitious, and they might not run stably without some tweaking. Make sure to enable EXPO settings for better performance. If you find it’s not working well, try dialing it back to 6000 or 6200. By the way, do you already have the 500GB Patriot drive?
Yeah, the 512GB PCIe3 SSD seems a bit small, but if you're okay with the extra cost, getting it will definitely help with loading times, especially if you plan to install your OS on it. And, don't worry too much about the PCIe 3 speed; it’s still pretty decent for most uses!
