My comments below:

(1) The CPU comes with a stock cooler. Why do you need to purchase the CM Hyper 212 cooler?

(2) Can consider Ryzen 5 2600 for the CPU as it can be overclocked.

I am not sure if 600W is enough given you are running the 1660. But considering you only have 2 HDDs should be ok ba.

LOL

600W is more than enough.

I'm running 650W on 4770/32GB/2x SSD/4x HDD/GTX1070.

You do not need 700W just for that he is running.

His peak power draw will be less than 350w under full load.

The stock cooler damn loud when load, this CM Hyper 212 cooler is quieter and helps to lower the CPU temp better compare to the stock cooler.

I choose the i5-9400f bcos I think it's better for gaming, this built is more for gaming.

You could get a pc with similar specs from Aftershock as well (Bolt):

WARRANTY (DESKTOP) : 3 Years Parts Warranty (1st Year ONSITE)
Chassis : BOLT : Bolt Black Edition Tempered Glass
DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD (BOLT, ZEAL) : For Intel CPUs - B360 Chipset Motherboard *4 Ram Slots

THERMAL COMPOUND : IC Diamond Thermal Compound CPU
GRAPHICS CARD (BOLT) : ZOTAC NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660ti 6GB GDDR6
CPU COOLING SYSTEM (Desktop) : AIR COOLING : AFTERSHOCK F10 Premium CPU cooling fan
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM) (DESKTOP) : 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2666MHZ
SOLID STATE DRIVE PRIMARY BAY (DESKTOP) : 256GB M.2 NVME ULTRA FAST SSD (Read Speed: 3000mb/s | Write speed : 1000mb/s)
FIRST HARD DRIVE (DESKTOP) : TOSHIBA 1TB 3.5 INCH HDD (Buffer Size 32MB)
CHASSIS FANS : Standard Chassis Fans

Pros:

- Tech support when required
- Good workmanship on cabling etc
- Free gaming mouse (if it matters)


Also, why not go for 9600k? The base and boost clocks are so much better and you have some headroom for overclocking in the future as well. Although you may not OC now, if you have that option, you can keep this processor in relevance for a few more years before upgrading.

I vote for the 9600k as well.
It will probably be alot more future proof for a bit more dough.

Do consider...

Aftershock is a good option
