Bequiet 9 isn't a good quality unit. 11 series is different though ! 500w would be fine for gtx 1660ti but 550w give a little wiggle room (depending on quality if unit)

Also it's 3/5 yrs warranty Vs 7 !

Would pay the extra for Gigabyte if based In UK for RMA support

Cooler isn't enough to cool that 9600k, will be working overtime. One I listed would be mindful recommend
