I recommend Zotac models because of extra 3 year warranty after online registration, so total 5 years.
NX800 is good but costs more as well.

The quote that I got from the local store NX800 costs a little less than MB511 RGB @omega44-xt . Which one would you go for then?
Check this, if prices are same then I think NX800 seems better because of its fans(but keep in mind the hdd tray issue as mentioned in link I posted earlier):

1660 runs much cooler compared to RX580 I think( @omega44-xt ) which is a big plus point for me in any config as in my experience cards that run hotter also survive shorter in hot climate countries like India.
I will run this system here in India for a year to 15 months and take this build to UK as I'll be relocating sometime next year. Kinda worried about the warranty but I can't worry about that now
I know I told Hackintosh is not priority at the moment but it is still at the back of my head. The one thing that came out of the little research I did was x570 Aorus Pro Gigabyte has great support and to my surprise Ryzentosh community has grown heaps. People have stable builds with 3700x and RX580 running lightroom and Adobe products flawlessly.
How much am I missing out if I pick x570 Aorus Pro Gigabyte over Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ?

RX580 consumes more power & runs a bit hotter (relatively) compared to decent GTX 1660. If Ryzentosh is growing, go with 3700X + RX580.
Its just that TUF X570 is a more popular choice because it performs similar to Aorus Pro for a cheaper price. Right now I see a 5k difference in price at mdcomputers. Again, if Mac support is better on Aorus Pro, go for it. Here's a chart with VRM temps in a stress test:
What method you use to extract/capture such benchmark pics from hardware unboxed youtube videos?

I think that's from their Patreon Page
I probably will get the system delivered today. Here is the final spec list.
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + Wraith Prism cooler
Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS WiFi
G skills F4-3600c16d-32gtznc ( Trident Z Neo)
Western Digital Blue SN550 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME
BenQ EW3270U
Zotac GTX 1660
Antec NX 800 RGB
Corsair TX650M
Any last minute changes here?
What AMD comparable GPU would you recommend if I want to replace GTX 1660 and ready to shell out a little bit more money and not go for RX580?

That's from techspot page's review of MSI X570 Tomahawk. For HU videos, I use a simple screenshot

Parts list looks good.
RX5500 XT is a bit inferior to GTX 1660 & priced close to 1660S. Get RX580 if you are interested in Hackintosh. Power delivery shouldn't be an issue with TX650M & neither should its bit extra heat on load.
Sapphire is considered a good brand for AMD, but good deal from MSI, Asus & Gigabyte are fine as well:
Buy Sapphire RX 5500 XT Pulse OC 8GB (11295-01-20G) at Best Price in India - mdcomputers.in
@whitestar_999 This is a screenshot from HU video
This is a screenshot from hardware unboxed video & values for common mobos are exactly same but it has fewer mobos, is there some kind of data sharing/common testing between HU & techspot.That's from techspot page's review of MSI X570 Tomahawk. For HU videos, I use a simple screenshot
So it is wise to get back to CM MB511 RGB then. Don't need that white case.

Steve & Tim are editors of Techspot, so I think they do the testing & provide benchmarks for Techspot these days. Maybe the two of them started HU, so its named HU. Some posts on the internet suggest that the channel was earlier called Techspot. It's also possible that the patreons get access to full list & Techspot uses some of those full lists in their articles, hence the difference.This is a screenshot from hardware unboxed video & values for common mobos are exactly same but it has fewer mobos, is there some kind of data sharing/common testing between HU & techspot.

It is a great case for 6k for sure, checks all the boxes. Included 3x 120mm RGB fans at front & 1 fan at rear should suffice in general. RGB fans take care of, well RGB lights.
If I have to get 2 ARGB fans on the top of the case of CM MB511 which one should I consider? I know it isn't required but if those Out of the box front fans annoy me I have 2 of these fans that I can use as a replacement.
If I have two fans up on the top would I configure in a way are pushing the air or pulling the air? Is there a way to just disable those CoolerMaster front fans incase I decide to use two on top and 1 at the rear?

Are Nvidia GPUs even supported in the newer MacOs ?
