Hello, this would be my list

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Fractal Design Focus G Mini MicroATX Mini Tower Case

What should I pick for a graphics card, as well as a power-supply?
I was thinkin like a rx 580 or like a 1660 super as those are in my price range.

This would be your best bang for the buck on a 1080p graphics card and power supply. Most Rosewill power supplies are pretty questionable but the Quark series, and these Capstone M series units, are very good. This is less than you could have gotten just the graphics card for six months ago.

Hmm alrighty.
 
Obviously, if you want to spend more money, you can get something even better. What do you want to spend?

What is your actual budget?

What country are you in?

What resolution and settings do you intend to play at?

What is your target FPS based on intended refresh rate?

I already got those parts (That I listed above) they've been sitting in a box for a while I just needed to finalize the last couple of components, which is why I made this thread i'd be willing to spend like around 270 for a graphics card then around like 75 for a power supply. The main reason i'm building this is because my current one is around 5 years old now. 1080p would be more then enough for me, i'd be wanting around 120 fps if possible.
Edit: From the united states
 
The option I listed earlier gives you pretty darn good 1080p gaming.

If you want the best performance and highest quality PSU for the amount you are willing to spend, I'd probably recommend something like this. Likely you'll see 15-20FPS higher on average than with the RX 580 at Ultra settings. Maybe more, maybe less, depending on title.

Well that certainly made my choice clear 15-20 FPS won’t be too much of a difference imo. Thank!!

I agree. For the difference in price, I'd go with the RX 580. Seems that PSU I recommended is not available now though at that price. It is now about 30 bucks more and at that price is no longer the best choice. These things change on a daily basis, which is why we recommend not even looking at hardware prices until you are ready to pull the trigger on something. That graphics card jumped up by 30 bucks as well. Try this instead.
