The PC building tool recommended this to me, is it good? The budget was 1000$.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9GHz 8-Core Processor ($399.99)
CPU Cooler: AMD Wraith Prism Cooler (Included with CPU) (-)
Motherboard: MSI B550-A Pro ATX AM4 ($139.99)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1660 6GB - Gigabyte Windforce ($520.98) [Price inflated]
Memory: 16GB (2 x 8GB) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 C16 ($79.99)
Storage PCIe-SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB NVME M.2 Solid State Drive ($62.99)
Power Supply: Corsair CX Series CX450M 450W ATX 2.4 Power Supply ($54.99)
Case: be quiet! Pure Base 600 Black ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.00)
Total: $1347.93

Also, a question. Does the ability to support 4k come from the monitor, the graphics card, or both? If it's the card or both, then does this one support 4k?

Well, it's certainly not ideal for sure. Try finding a cheaper GPU (an RTX 3060Ti would be ideal but a realistic option is an RTX 2060 Super), up the power supply to 550W, and drop the CPU down to a Ryzen 5 3600 if you're just gaming. That should do it for the most part :)
