Hello Gaming,
I need advice on the parts I have chosen for my first Gaming PC Build. I have gone through some sites and based on budget chose these parts.
Please advice if anything here to avoid or to change.
I am not into Gaming, it's for someone special as Gift. I am from IT background with some assembling experience.
Mainly for Fortnite Game

I wanted to keep around $1.5K, this is bit overshoot my budget.
Thanks.
Edit 25/082020 10:20: I finalised this one, considering all the comments from you guys.. basically by changing the SSD and removing Wireless Card, I have upgraded the Graphics and Motherboard.. and with ebay PIN10 I think can score all these around $1.6K.. any last minute advice before I start placing the order.
Again, can't thank you enough for all the help so far.. 3 cheers to OZbargain.

Firstly, good on you for getting someone such a great gift!
I might take a quick look around for parts a bit later to make sure you're getting a good price but from my first glance I would say consider getting a slightly cheaper motherboard in order to get an upgraded videocard. The 1660Ti will play Fortnite fine but they may want to move onto more advanced videogames in the future. In saying that there's doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the parts you have chosen and this build will serve your purposes fine. I'll go a bit more in depth when I have some more time.
