Question My nephew's first build

[tamagorci]

Hello!

My nephew decided to build instead of buying a pre-built machine, and I think that is fantastic.
We'd like to ask you for your opinion.

He will be playing the following games at 1080p:
Overwach, The Wicher, Batlefront 2

Maybe he'd like to overclock the machine at one point but later if at all. He lives in Poland.

These are the components:
CPU
amd ryzen 5 1600 AF (424zł)

Graphics Card
ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER TUF (1099zł)
or
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti WINDFORCE OC 6GB GDDR6 (1329)

Motherboard
msi b450 tomahawk (498)

Power Supply
Thermaltake Smart BX1 550W 80 Plus Bronze (199)

RAM
Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz CL15 Ballistix Sport LT Gray (369)

Hard Drive (System)
Kingston 240GB 2,5" SATA SSD A400 (189)

Hard Drive (Storage)
barracuda 1tb (209 / 174 zł)

Case
be quiet! Pure Base 500 Window Metallic Gray (349)

Any advice will be appreciated.

That build looks OK to me. For "more speed", consider a Ryzen R5 3600, and DDR4-3600 RAM. But for a basic gaming rig, your choices look fine to me.

I might consider adding in a better cooler than the stock cooler though.
