You should include the make, model and age of your PSU as well as the case.

I have had come to the realization by build is trash
Yes, your build should’ve been built right from the get go. As it stands, your build isn’t balanced. In fact, if you did try and rectify the mistakes on your build, you’re stepping into rebuilding the entire system from the ground up albeit you will be spending on yesteryears tech if you did try and rectify your current system.

I don’t want to throw the computer in the bin, I’d rather upgrade the weakest link. Can anyone spot the component which maybe letting the side down with this build?
If I were to build you a system with that i7-9700, I’d have gone with a Z370 chipset, paired it with a tight latencied dual channel DDR4-3200MHz ram to get the most out of your build, paired that with a GTX1660 Super.

You might want to see if you can reinstall your GPU drivers. Use DDU in Safe Mode, then remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia’s support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
