purely looking at vrm i think these are nice choices as far as my pricing here goes (in random order)
pro4(-f) (x370, b450, b350)
fatal1ty (same as pro4 in vrm)
tomahawk (max) (b450)
mortar (max) (b450)
gaming plus (max) (b450)
aorus m (b450)
pro carbon (b450)
bazooka (v2/plus) (b450)
m/ac (b450)
 
and i probably missed some, so feel free to ask
 

If you're playing at 1440p or 4k it won't matter much.

If you're trying to do 1080p 240hz gaming then you might want a CPU upgrade sometime.

Depends on your resolution. Those are both considered “1440p” cards which will stress the GPU more. The 5700 xt will stress your cpu more at 1440p since higher frame rates stress the CPU more than the GPU. If you’re playing 1080p 60fps I would just stick with the 1060 6gb and turn settings down to high/medium if needed.

it'll probably bottleneck a bit
 
but i'd consider it a worthy upgrade

More cores with hyperthreading. Streaming happens while you're gaming, so you'll need more CPU power during the process. Just imagine it like you're running a game and a half with your CPU. 
 
And get the new AMD 5700. The 1060 is old now. The 5700 will be good for a few years to come.
 
You'll have a great time with this system!

you said you stream. so there is a very simple answer. 
get ryzen. this will be a MASSIVE upgrade from your current CPU

Bottlenecking? Probably.
 
What to get? The 5700. No contest. It's better in almost every way possible
 

depends on your definition of bottleneck but the gpu can probably run at close to 100% usage

I'd say save your money for a new rig.  But between those two, the 5700.  1060 to 2060 isn't really going to benefit you.

the gm, px, gx and sgx shouldn't have the problems
 
but i can't confirm until reviews come out

That I did not know. Hopefully the new Focus PX/GX fixed that. 

well... i can explain the whole thing with focus here, but i'll just list you to this... because it got worse
 

I have which is why I said to go for a Focus or something newer, to my knowing they don't have those problems (except the Focus+ shutdown problems with high end gpus) 

you haven't seen the major problems with s12ii, m12ii and focus
 
and the heavy costsavings on prime and s12iii?

I run an i5 3570 and a gtx 980 on a thermaltake smart 430w no prob

Corsair CX or if you can find a seasonic focus go for it. Seasonic makes the best PSUs and you cant go wrong with them (I know i sound like a fanboy but better safe than sorry). 

Yes, it's a good choice.

The design used in Thermaltake Smart SE 530W is known to shut down when you use top-end graphics cards with it, like GTX980, 1070, 2070 and the like. It's also not so stable in general. If you want to be sure you won't have problems, you should upgrade to a higher quality PSU.

wow man thankyou so much . u so good i will learn about that

If you manually OC you may lose a bit of performance in games, I did on my 2700X. I could manually OC that to 4.2Ghz or so all core, but it'll boost one or two cores to 4.35Ghz or higher. Say a game uses 6 cores but only pushes a couple really hard, the boost will clock those higher than if you forced them all to run at the same speed. Unless you're doing a task that always uses all the cores (my 2700X boosted to 3.9-4Ghz under 100% load on all the cores, under that specific workload the manual OC would be faster), you're better letting it boost itself.

No, you can OC it just fine. Nvidia won't let you increase the voltage by much so you can't pull too much power, that was my point. You're better off OCing the GPU, then tweaking the boost on the CPU (there's bound to be guides on it). Similar to the 2000 series, the 3600 can't reach an all-core overclock higher than the max boost for a few cores, so unless something is using all 6 cores and 12 threads all the time, you should leave the CPU to boost the cores being used as high as it can, results in better gaming performance. People can tweak the boost and voltages to get it to boost as high and as long as possible, AMD has done a bunch of work squeeze all the performance possible out of the CPU already, so even that may be redundant now. So long as you run Windows 10 1903 and the latest chipset drivers, it works with the Windows scheduler to get the best boost perf possible, this article explains all the tricky stuff AMD did to pull the best out of the CPUs: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/295967-amd-ryzen-7nm-cpus-may-not-hit-maximum-boost-frequency-on-all-cores

Should be fine. Manual OCing on the 3600 is eh, you're better off tweaking the boost on that. Nvidia cards are locked down so you can't increase the voltage much at all, so they won't pull much more power than the specs say. You need to be pushing a Vega card or similarly hungry GPU with that CPU before you have any worries. 

Yeah it's fine

amd cpus should be the only ones being purchased now
