Is it a good build? Anything I should change? Going to be using it for light streaming and gaming. 

Keep the price around 1500-1700 USD if possible.

get a cheaper mobo and use the saved money to get some used 1080ti (under 650) instead of that 300 dollar mobo

I'd suggest not jumping to the immediate next best GPU but upgrading further when needed.

 

Do you specifically not want a windowed side panel? If windowed is ok, the Meshify C case has better airflow. I'd suggest this. Unless there's a specific feature you want from the X470 chipset that you can't find with this board, this one will do great.

Would 650W be enough if I OC?

Yes, get a b chipset and 1080ti.

I thought that you can’t OC on B chipsets.

you can, just not on A chipsets. 

A b chipset should be fine for a 6 core processor, you only should get a x chipset if you are planning to get a 8 core ryzen 7.

Yeah, more than enough. You'd be fine with a 550W G2 but for only $10, why not the 650W and be at peak efficiency under load.

You can OC on the B450 Pro Carbon, and Buildzoid from Hardcore Overclocking (reliable source) actually recommends that particular board for the lowest price, good for 2700X OC. Look here

 

[meenmeen1103]

So yeah, IMO much better to go with the cheaper, good board and better CPU especially for streaming, the extra core headroom will be nice. The 2700X/1080 combo will mainly perform less than the 2600/1080ti with AAA titles at super high refresh rates, which most people play less than esport titles. Depends what games you play more of, but that point is secondary to the board choice.
