New builder seeking feedback on my build and GPU help.

rookie

Hello, I am new to building so please bear with me..
I am building a computer to do a variety of things, I am mainly focusing on photoshop/illustration but possibly do some gaming, I wouldn't mind gaming at 1080p and 60fps on most tittles..
I have a ryzen 5 3600, B450 tomahawk max, or if I went micro the b550 matx, GPU either the 1660 super or the 1650 super or RX 5500 XT(help in this section..), I have a 500 WD m.2 and a WD 2T HDD, 2x8 3200 ram sticks, power supply of 650w 80 plus. This maybe a horrible build but I seek help and guidance. THANKS!

Hello @rookie and thanks for posting on the Microcenter Community Forum. The build looks fine. I'd personally would go with the Nvidia card (1650 or 1660) over the RX 5500. Less troubleshooting problems with the 1650 or 1660 than RX. The 16GB of RAM is good for photoshop and photo editing along with gaming. Honestly your build is good. Take a look at the link below. You can click on the "Change" or trash can icon to remove the components and put in your parts. It will help you gauge on the price for your price with Microcenter.
