I would personally go for a GTX 1160 TI if it's within your budget otherwise I would go for the RX 580 since apparently it's quite a good value.

Brands I would trust:

MSI
GIGABYTE
ASUS
ZOTAC
XFX (AMD Only
EVGA(NVIDIA Only)
PNY(Not my first choice)
Galax(Not my first choice)

Mind you I would still go for the cheapest 1660 TI over the most expensive RX 580 as long as it's from one the brands mentioned prior.

OP, what are your PC specs ? Which CPU are you having ? Are you planning to game on 1080p, or 2K ?

Depends on your budget. If it's over $200, GTX 1660 or the 1660 Ti. Below $200, RX 580.

If you go for Nvidia like 1660 or the 1660 Ti, any 500-550W PSU from a reputed brand with 80+ gold should be okay. 600-650 for the RX 580 or 590. Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair, FSP, Be Quiet, SIlverstone etc.
