I'm putting together my first gaming PC using some components that I got from friends. Here's what I'm working with:
- **Graphics Card**: ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
- **SSD**: Crucial P310 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen4
- **RAM**: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB, DDR4 3200 MHz)
- **CPU + Cooler**: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with AMD Wraith RGB LED Cooler
- **Motherboard**: ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS (WI-FI), AMD B550 ATX motherboard
- **Case**: Fractal North TG
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM650x 650 Watt Fully Modular PSU
How does this setup look?

The 1660 SUPER will work fine for 1080p gaming, but it might struggle with 1440p. If you want to keep this build for a few years, consider spending a bit more to upgrade to a 9060; it's only around $100 more and can make a huge difference.
Just a heads up, the P310 uses QLC flash, which isn’t as durable and tends to slow down over time. I recommend getting a drive with TLC flash like the TeamGroup MP33 Pro or Biwin Black Opal NV7400 for better longevity.
Your build looks solid overall, but the GTX 1660 SUPER is a bit dated. Are you planning to invest more in a better GPU later on?
It's actually my friend's old card that he gave me for free, but I plan to upgrade it in the future.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely look into the 9060 when I upgrade.
