I've seen lots of youtubers say the r5 2600 and gtx 1650 super combo works well with a 450w psu, but will a gtx 1660 super pair well with a 450w psu along with a r5 2600

The parts ive chosen are :
R5 2600
PALIT GeForce GTX 1660 Super Stormx
2x8 Corsair 3000mhz ddr4 ram
450W EVGA BR bronze 80+ psu
gigabyte ds3h b450
1tb seagate hdd
kingston a400 240gb ssd
coolermaster q300l

I bought the psu around 2 months ago when I had a different budget in mind and cant return it now, is the 1660 super safe with a 450w psu and will my components be at risk? If yes what is the different between a 1650 super and 1660 super.
 
The Recommended System Power based on Nvidia for 1660 super is 450W and ryzen 2600 is not a power hungry cpu anyway , you wont have any problem installing the 1660 super. 1650 super can run even with a 350W PSU. Overall the 1660 super its a faster GPU and will perform better.
