First build, need help with cables, case, and cooling.
Here is what I'm looking at right now-
Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core AM4 with Wraith Stealth Cooler- $179.00
Crucial 8gb DDR4 2666 MHz- $43.99, x2 $87.98
MSI- B450 Tomahawk Max AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard- $124.99
PowerSpec - 430 Watt 80 Plus ATX Non- Modular Power Sup.- $44.99
GTX 1660 Super 6gb GDDR6 PCIe 3.0 GPU- $244.99
Samsung 980 Pro 500gb SSD- $119.99
Please ignore the price tags, this is pasted from a google doc.
I am not sure what case to get, I'd like the cheapest case possible (while still having air flow for the 1660).
If the fans on the 1660 and Stealth Wraith (included with the R5) are not enough, please let me know what fans to get.
I do not want RGB (yes, I know, blasphemy) just yet as I am trying to keep this on a budget.
Last question, I promise. Do cables come with my parts? If not, what will I need?
Ok, that's all the questions I have. Thank you in advance for the help.

Hello @MoriIsDumb and thanks for contacting Microcenter. First, we'd recommend a 500w PSU just to make sure all parts including your 1660 have all the wattage they need. But the 450w will work.
Second when you get your B450, make sure the box says its 3rd AMD ready. That way you know the B450 is ready for your 3600. If not, you may need to update the b450 bios.
Third, how much are you wanting to spend on a case? What your max price to spend on a case? The case comes with case fans, you should be good there.
All your cabling should come with your case and power supply BTW.

Max is around $50 dollars. If absolutely necessary I can go a bit more, but I'd like to stay low. @TSTDavey

@MoriIsDumb Okay, the cheapest we have would be a Lian Li 205 Tempered Glass ATX case. Some stores may have open box for $51.96 but regular is $69.99.

Alright, that should do it. Thank you.

@MoriIsDumb You're welcome.
