Put together is a broad term, have you built/assembled the system or have you put them down on a list(of parts to purchase)? We will need to also know where you're located and how much you've paid for each component to give some context/semblance to the build.

Coolermaster is the brand of the PSU while 650 is the advertised wattage of the unit and Bronze is the advertised 80+ efficiency rating. It doesn't tell us much about the model of the unit and it's internal quality.

You forgot to mention the make and model of your case as well.

IMHO, you should've looked into a K suffix processor for that Z series motherboard.

For 500 bucks just fine.
Gaming 1080p just fine.

1st thing I would do is upgrade the CPU cooler if your using the stock one it is just not enough. About 50 bucks
2nd upgrade the PSU to higher quality and watts. About 100 bucks
3rd the most expensive part when you can upgrade the video card. Can be a rather large chunk of money but not needed right now as long as your not chasing the all mighty max settings, EDIT not really required if your happy with your performance now.

I'm using a 10600k with a 2080 card and have 0 problems running anything @ 1440p

In less demanding games I crank up the settings, in demanding games on the video card I don't mind a mix of mid/high, I don't require 144FPS my monitor is 75hz so really anything around at least 60 is fine with me.

in more details i bought it around 600 bucks-under600
my cpu cooler is a local brand but premium thats really good and enough -25 bucks
my psu is enough for this build because as some schematic building sites say it,s 400 w usage maximum
and about gpu ,2060 s is answering every game up to now-especially msi has a good quality
and as i searched i5*10600k ia similar to 10700 but needs more psu but the price of your cpu is si temptating-143$ vs my cpu-200$

Big problem here in that you're assuming the issue is just a wattage output. Once there's sufficient wattage, then the *quality* of PSU becomes important. Which means identifying the exact PSU, and this is especially important when it's a company like Cooler Master or Thermaltake that sells a lot of cheaply made PSUs of ancient design because people recognize them from other types of parts that they're well known for.

Atleast look for a tier B 650W PSU: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

You could also explore ryzen 3600 in a B450/550 mobo. It gives you the opportunity to later upgrade to a 5800X3D.

How much is an RX6600 XT or RX 6650XT compared to the 2060? i would choose the radeon card if its the same price.
i,ve heard that amd components heats too much
so im in intel and nvidia
