Why different? Do you just want a cheaper GPU? If so, you'd need to specify how much cheaper you're looking for. You could drop to a GTX 1660 Super, but it's only going to save you $50ish. The RTX 2060 is well worth the extra $50 IMO, especially @ 1080p144Hz.

StayModded68 wrote any chance I could add some lights to it

Yeah, add any RGB strips you want. Also, if you want, you could spend an additional $25 on the case to get the variant with RGB fans;

What's the next step up graphics card wise and would this build handle the next step up graphics card?

So I purchased the motherboard and processor I just couldn't find the graphics card in store could I just go with the normal 2060?

Which GPU isn't in stock? The RTX 2060 appears to be in stock to me?;
newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2...XMqpoK.8Iw
or an alternative RTX 2060;
bhphotovideo.com/c/product/145292...60_xc.html

If you're after a GTX 1660 Super, then this will do;
newegg.com/global/uk-en/asus-gefo...PA0qOTcDcg

AMD alternative to RTX 2060;
newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5600-xt-...l1DNyE1Y9A
5600XT will perform a little better than an RTX 2060, but you lose RTX+DLSS.

An RTX 2060 Super/2070 or RX 5700(XT) is your next option up from an RTX 2060.

RTX 2060 Super for $400;
bhphotovideo.com/c/product/159866...super.html
Not many 2070's(if any) on the market any more, but the 2060 Super performs pretty much identically anyway.

RX 5700XT for $400;
amazon.com/XFX-Triple-Dissipation...amp;sr=8-2
5700XT performs a good bit better than a 2060S/2070, but like with the 5600XT, you lose RTX+DLSS with the AMD option.

Don't bother with a 1660Ti. The GTX 1660 Super performs almost identically but saves you $50ish.

A GTX 1660 Super should cost you around $230-240, and a 2060 should set you back around $300.

Whichever 1660 Super or 2060 you can find in stock for the right price will work absolutely fine.

Up to you whether you'd rather save $50-75 and get the 1660 Super, or just spend the extra for a bit of extra performance out of the 2060. The RTX 2060 has RTX+DLSS support, which the 1660 Super does not so if either of those features interest you at all, then yeah you really ought to pay the extra for the 2060.

Yea I will most likely either go with the 1660 super or the 2060 most likely the 206p I just can't find the mini in store would the dual fan run the same?

Yeah, will be absolutely fine. Will actually likely be a little better getting a dual fan design cooler, as opposed to one of the "mini" design coolers. Although, 2060's aren't exactly hard to keep cool so it's not a huge issue, literally just grab whichever RTX 2060 you can find in stock for the right price.
