Please, indicate the PSU you have purchased.
The RX 580 8G is somewhat better than the GTX 1060 6G. However RX 580 8GB consumes about 100 watts more than the GTX 1060 6G, so the PSU should be about 550-600 watts. Additionally, many RX 580 8G need the PSU to have an 8-pin PCIE cable and a 6-pin PCIE cable. The GTX 1060 only needed a 6 pin cable.

Between Ryzen 5 1600x and Ryzen 5 2600 I recommend the Ryzen 5 2600 and the mobo B450.

On the one hand it is a more modern cpu-chipset with slight improvements. Also keep in mind that the Ryzen 5 1600x does not include any cooler.
