Evening all - please can I ask for opinions and assistance...

Looking to purchase and build a gaming pc for my son - budget £650 really! He only wants to play fortnite on 100fps min - I do have a 144hz monitor.

What do you think of the below :

Ryzen 5 3600
B450m gaming mobo
1660 super GTX card
16gb ram
512gb ssd
550w bronze power

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (£158.97 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4-F Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£67.97 @ CCL Computers)
Memory: Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL17 Memory (£73.44 @ CCL Computers)
Storage: Crucial BX500 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£49.98 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB OC Video Card (£208.99 @ AWD-IT)
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400A ATX Mid Tower Case (£59.99 @ Box Limited)
Power Supply: be quiet! System Power 9 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£46.50 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £665.84

Drop the R5 3600 to an R3 3100 if you want to save 60 quid.
Motherboard's not great, but you need to make some sacrifices somewhere with this budget. The AsRock B450M Pro4-F is your best bet for a budget AM4 mobo though.
That Patriot Viper Steel RAM is a great kit at a great price, absolutely what I would be buying, but if you'd rather save 15 quid, you can get these;

I'd spend an extra tenner on the SSD personally and just get this;

but the Crucial BX500 is what you want to get if you're just going for a cheap 480/500GB SSD.

If you want a semi-modular PSU, you can get this for an extra tenner;

Lastly, if you want, you can spend an extra 20 quid for the same case but with 3 RGB fans included;
