[alexander0hamilton]

This is my first time building a PC and I was wondering if these parts are good for a budget of $1000

Pretty good, the only thing that jumps out is the EVGA BQ PSU. Its not bad, but not overall very good.

However, you can get some better value for your budget. Here is what I would do instead.

$10 more for a slightly faster CPU with superior cooler. Ditch H212.
Go for ram that is a little cheaper and this ram has the benefit of being specifically designed for AMD.
The Samsung 860 500gb is a tiny bit cheaper than the MX500 500gb and the 2 drives are equivilant.
The Sapphire Pulse RX5700 will outperform the 1660 super by a fair margin. If you want to cut cost, you can go back to the 1660 super.
I added a better PSU that is only $5 more but 80+ gold and better quality.
I went with a name brand wifi adapter.
